Waking the Sleeping Beast Part II - 50 years later !!
The ballast resistor reduces the current the points in the distributor see. They last longer that way. Main fuse box is in the center console. Only other over current devices are the fuseable links. If the battery is charged it will start and run without the alternator or most any of the lights

What is this in the 1971 240z ??
I agree with others, dont go chopping on anything. Find the thread on "waking the sleeping beast". Work through those steps before attempting to start it. Also its best not to start multiple threads. It makes it hard for others to help you

So I have a question... How have you confirmed TDC? Not by marks or some other, but true TDC?

Do I need a bumper?
I would rather damage the bumper or nose of the hood versus building up a bumper reinforcement and damaging the frame. Condensers and radiators are easy to deal with

Z's on BAT and other places collection
I thought it was $54,500? DId I misread it? Still a very respectable car and not nearly as correct as some here... @Zup Never mind it must have updated or something. Almost 70k for a "lowly" 73'! Superb!!

Radon systems typical ventilate under foundations, slabs or in basements. Can be complicated to retro fit but obviously worth it in some areas

Do you have a heat shield installed? Where are you located?

Caswell Plating
Those kinds of parts are difficult to plate. Inside corners tend to be the real issue. It looks good. I use a heat gun to dry parts and set the color. It also helps to prevent drip stains

I like to use smaller wires for stringing. The larger ones can cause shadowing problems. I will strip some multi strand cable and use one or a few fine strands to string fasteners. Depending on fastener size

Those fasteners look really good! I had 2 used Caswell heaters for a while. They eventually died. I am using a large glass aquarium heter currently but it doesn't get quite warm enough. I have considered using a digital temp controller and an element

@sfm6s524 That's a really nice looking setup! Love the top to keep the tanks clean! Post up some pictures of what your getting. Maybe we can remotely trouble shoot. Be careful with brightener. I have added too much at times and I believe it resulted in blistering. You have to filter the tank if that happens to reduce the organics.
