The blow out booster is probably providing more air, so the engine speeds up. I suspect the master had more travel prior to bleeding and it was too much for a marginal booster

Everyone I have has already gone to the plater. I was gonna paint, then install the boots, plates and hinges. Seems a shame to paint nice parts

Baseline settings for triple OERs
I would use the SU's if the engine isn't too wild. I think it will be hard to get the OER's close enough

Leaking from spark plug sockets
I have had it happen but I agree it's probably very rare. I still tend to do it. I use the copper anti seize. Haven't had a spark issue yet. Is an interesting anecdote though.

240z 1973 Valve adjustment if my car has a non-stock cam
I agree with Zed You also need to run premium fuel if you are unsure of the compression ratio. Maybe retard the ignition some until you figure out compression ratios

Stolen Z?
I agree with CO Gone in 60 seconds. My youth was very colorful. If I really wanted to protect it, put a tracker in it. It'll tell you if it moves and you can lead the cops right to it. Provided they're still interested in that sort of thing where you live...

I would also contact whomever is now supporting mikunis II don't remember if Wolf still does it) and somebody for the webers (Redline maybe) and see what their thoughts are on the respective carbs for the proposed engine. The 40s should perform better down low but that's not an absolute
