90% of my stuff is all craftsman and the rest is snap on. I really have stood behind all of craftsman;s stuff. there is nothing like their exchange policy and the price is just right for my budget.

I've never heard of hit however here is a link carbomastic 15

I'm right around the corner from you. I'm in Blairstown eixt 12, or exit 19 even off rte 80. Currently in the garage under restoration I have a 76 280, and an early 74 260. There;s a 78 2 seater in my driveway, and then I have one more 78 2+2 sitting in storage. Feel free to drop me an email or PM me! I'd be glad to come help you out, get rid of a couple cold ones, and swap some Z stories! If you're looking to swap your 2.4, let me know. I have several spare blocks laying around.

Just out of curiousity, where in northern jersey are you located? I am about 30 minutes from the poconos!

I Could have sworn I posted to this one however I just made it through all nine pages and did not see it. anyway, I am 28 and live in north west jersey with my live in GF, and three cats. I have 4 Z cars (early 74 260, 78 280, 78 280 2+2, and a 76 280), a 97 Explorer sport, and an 87 KX125. I have had a pilot;s license for about 5 years or so now (single engine land VFR), currently working on IFR as time and money allows. In addition to all of that I am a Sytems analyst with household int'l (now part of HSBC) and also am part of a concert promotional team putting on concerts here in the NW Jersey area. You can check out the link at create a vibe My role with those guys primarily focuses on Audio Recording and documenting all the shows we done so far.

I too tickle the ivories in front of a monitor all day as well..... so I 99% of the time post and lurk from here at work.

Honestly, you can leave the rust and paint the POR right over it. It really does prefer to be painted right over the rust. I would certainly be filling any of the seams with a seam sealer to prevent water from getting in the joints and rusting from inside the joint. The repairs don't look bad at all. someone did take their time on those.

Just picked up classic motorsports magazine (formerly British car) and there is a nice article on the 240. Classic Z cars was listed in the sources section!

Auto Rust doctors in Bamber lake is the shop that did alot of Wick Humbles work. I happen to know of several credible garages if you choose this option. I belong to the NJ Z club and have many references. Let me know.

I would need a change of underwear after that discovery. man i would soil myself!!

It would do that thing a world of good to get that vinyl off :classic:

you forgot the rust spots underneath the drivers door. Its in the pic of the open drivers door showing the door panel. Rust spot in the drivers door jam around the data plate, oh and who the heck wants a "sticker" underneath the hatch emblem. An effin ball hitch....C'mon!

Just a follow up, only 10% of that list could be considered "Bootleg". The rest of the bands on that list are taper friendly with the strict rule that it is not to be profited from financially. I have close to 10 grand in equipment to perform this task so I do have some recordings that will bury and studio compiled disc. Things have come a long way since Re-Run lost his analog deck at the doobie brothers concert

Darylick and everyone else for that matter....Any recording on my list is completely obtainable!! I haven't been able to run at the pace at I used to due to the amount of taping I have been doing and supplying the bands, promoter, and venue owner copies of everything I record but I find one or two free nights that I am not in the garage that I spend in the music room either burning trades or blank and postages for people. All you have to do is drop an email, I'm happy to spread the music :classic:

my early 260 had one on it too. It was a broadway musical trying to get that thing off after the 20 years of it living on top. Plus it was all faded and dry rotted and looked worse than the cracks.

Yep thats the one! my apologies if I have offended anyone, however that dash repair option shows every bit of its 34.95 price tag.

would purchase and install that hideous carpet style half dash cap??? i don't know how many cars I have seen with this atrocity installed and always walk away scratching my head. End of rant. Thanks.

Phew, my tastes vary like the weather, However thankfully I have a musical selection just as diverse. Generally though I have to say my favorite stuff to pound the pavement to is def zep (especially 06-27-69 Playhouse theater London) , anything PRE 72 floyd, def the dead, Allman Brothers, and gov't mule. Being a taper, I have had the pleasure to build a live musical archive that needed the second bedroom of the house. Here;s a link if anyone is interested in what's in the archivearchive link

this might help answer some questions datsun garage

the 5 speed will work just fine and bolt right however I think there is an issue with the angularity of the driveshaft as the later 240's were moved back to reduce the strain on the U-joints
