Putting in a replacement L-28
I would go to a local automotive paint supply and see if you can get a 2k zinc rich primer in a spray can. Shake, activate, shake and spray. No gun to clean up...

Hood Spring assembly
It looks like his tabs are on upside down. When he bends them up the nuts will be on the front facing side of the tab. Not on the rear side like the examples

Distributor play
I wouldn't think so. I dont see any way for the timing to change even with the slop. PS there is a 123 dizzy currently in the classifieds

Restoring and prepping hardware for plating - the "easy" way
So I have been cleaning up more hardware Looks like this after the bead blasting Goes into the vibratory polisher with SS media and a little paint thinner Comes out like this After a quick rinse with brake cleaner there is a difference in sheen after polishing, although it is a darker color

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
Liquids seal is better 3m urethane or 3m weatherstrip adhesive Some of this is obsessive. I doubt your car will ever see enough rain to be an issue. Even parked outside all of these cars are 50 years old and rust at the emblems is not the issue. No offense intended...

If I was worried about water entry at the emblems I would use some emblem adhesive or urethane sealant

Beware of California Datsun, he has a poor reputation I can't answer the 240z / 280z spring question. I would suspect they're different because of curb weight changes
