I really feel for the people who have kids. They, the kids and the parents, are being used as pawns in this crazy game. This is from The Guardian - "This is Lois Beckett, picking up this afternoon’s live politics coverage from our California office. Comments from a Friday radio interview with Missouri’s Republican governor, Mike Parson, are continuing to spark condemnation and alarm, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reports today: “These kids have got to get back to school,” the governor said on Friday. “They’re at the lowest risk possible. And if they do get Covid-19, which they will – and they will when they go to school – they’re not going to the hospitals. They’re not going to have to sit in doctor’s offices. They’re going to go home and they’re going to get over it.” “We gotta move on,” he added later. “We can’t just let this thing stop us in our tracks.” Among the many responses, the Post-Dispatch reported, was one Democrat running for governor in Missouri, who responded: “Does he not realize multiple American kids have died after being infected?” Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, a Harvard epidemiologist, called the comments “dystopian”. "

The other measurements would tell something, if @240dkw has the time.

Do the math on your gear ratios before you get one. That's one of the problems with most V8 swaps,the GM automatic transmissions like "tall" diff ratios. 3.3 and lower, I think. Hard to find in the R200. If you're going with a manual then the 3.54 or 3.9 should work.

At least clarity and a plan is coming soon... Trump said he would resume his coronavirus briefings, likely starting tomorrow. Trump held daily briefings at the start of the coronavirus crisis, but the briefings attracted widespread criticism because of the president’s frequent false and misleading claims about the pandemic.

For easy reference. rcv's picture from earlier.

Looks like the three groups are in Portland too. Working secretly apparently. Can you imagine being a young man or woman who joined one of these services when they were honorably run? Now they have to attack fellow citizens and military veterans. It's like Kent State. https://komonews.com/news/local/navy-veteran-beaten-at-protest-says-he-was-enraged-to-see-federal-officers-in-portland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings

Reminds me of how I've always thought it was odd that "surviving" an accident is all that's reported for shootings, car accidents, etc. "She was shot in the face seven times. She'll survive." "He was burned over 60% of his body. But he'll survive." If you simplify things down to "surviving" then we don't really have anything to worry about. Didn't die? You'll be fine.

Start a new thread with a descriptive title. Many forum members are only interested in certain things, and only browse the titles or certain sub-fourms. "Clutch fork throw" probably isn't a big club, except for some of us. It drew me right in.

Who was that then? They're out there somewhere.... Here's one but it's not the one I was thinking of. I think it was on Hybridz.

It's the thing you write your words in.

The R200's are strong and you can get an LSD for them. It's torque and traction that kills diffs. Big tires and a torquey motor, along with some gear banging will blow up any diff. There are V8 swaps with R180's out there. They just don't drive them hard.

Click on choose files underneath the response box. A new menu will open that lets you pick files from your computer or phone. When you pick them they will be put in to your response.

Sometimes they flatten a lobe even if everything is done right. @madkaw knows, if I remember right. Who is the camshaft shop that he uses?

You can post a picture from the site's response page.

You can just look at the diff and tell a 180 from a 200. Or post a picture up.

The 79 model year had a huge number of differential options, to go along with all of the trim options. Find out if you have an R180 or an R200. The R200 will handle it but not the R180. You'll want to know the ratio also, there's a bunch.

Remove a spark plug and post a picture of it.

Did it start when you tried starting fluid?

Just adding more to the saga. I wanted to see when the transmission changed, and, I don't know for sure, but its looks like there are two 71A's, maybe three. The first A matches the first pivot ball, changing at 7108. Anyone got a super-early 240Z 4 speed to take a look at?

Maybe there's a different "PIN-BALL WITH DRAWAL" in the early year model and somebody replaced yours with a later one. It would be interesting to see the difference at the part number change. I just considered this and there it is on good old carpartsmanual.com. Who knows. Edit - I notice that it says "no interchange". http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/power-train/clutch/7

The FSM is a good starting point. Here's a sample. 73 is a good one. https://www.classiczcars.com/files/category/11-240z/

We're getting in to politics which isn't going to go far. It's all clear, why beat a rotting horse? It just makes things messier. I do wonder what the magic number is though that will cause some sort of action. Is it a death rate, or infection rate, or filled hospitals? Even with typical politics, usually actions are taken to solve the problem, than credit or blame is fought over later. This completer inaction and effort to hide the reality of the situation is incredible. I can't even imagine how it will end. In my old stomping grounds the Dept. of Homeland Security is kidnapping people off the street, like it's one of the central american countries, instead of facilitating efforts to combat the virus.. Amazing. What a pointless exercise, people have been protesting in Portland for decades. https://theweek.com/speedreads/926170/dhs-secretary-justifies-unmarked-federal-agents-snatching-people-portland-photos-graffiti

Starting fluid...

It seems like you might have a short in your ignition system. With the key on, engine not running, you should see battery voltage at the coil. There will be no current flowing. It might be that your ignition module is bad. Try using starting fluid to see if the engine will run. If it does you have spark. Did you mean 5.9 volts or 5.9 ohms? Aside from that, you'll still be better off to write down everything that about the car, like when it last ran right, and how long it's been sitting, and all of the measurements you've taken, making sure that they are correct. Ohms, volts, etc.
