Isn't it possible to put the rear case on but not in the neutral position? I believe that locks up the transmission some how. It's a foggy memory...

I would start it from the left side. Lay the back edge on a block of wood and tap it in. Add a little oil to help. Shouldn't need much encouragement

Possibly and if you have high current, it can fry things like ZedHead pointed out. Like ignition modules

They evidently dont leak and make a better seal

Depending on what year your 240 parts car is there could be lots of differences in parts Yes, I believe I stated earlier, it looks to have been painted

Yeah, that seems like a high place to start

Too bad, what did it bid to, if you don't mind?

The ZX distributor has a small black box on the side of the distributor body with plugs on top of it

So Cool! Thank you!

Looks like an early 240 with a late 280z hood. Be sure and post up the VIN when you look at it. Check for the data plates and the vin on the dash and the firewall. Check the usual rust areas for signs of patches or filler. Looks to be freshly painted

How did the car do? I can't tell from the website

I don't know if I'm happy for you or not! ?

If you shoot starting fluid into will it keep running? or you could add a fuel pressure gauge into the fuel line and see if the pressure is dropping off

Chase what ignition are you running? Points, Pertronix, 280zx, MSD? A voltmeter while idling will tell you if the 13volts at idle is really 13 volts. Hard to check at speed

I totally understand. It's easy to stripe a metallic color when you paint it disassembled or have adjacent panels be different colors. I think it's the right choice to paint it assembled. Watch some you tube videos on taping cars. 3m also make a backer rod type product that is intended for use to help make soft egdes

@240260280 Are those for reference, or are they available new?

Bob, Did you get a gauge lined up from Karst? If not, I will do some digging C

You have to be a very good painter to paint a metallic disassembled. I thought I would paint my car like this Mark, but since it's a solid color, I plan on painting it in pieces. The hardest challenge when painting all assembled is learning the right way to tape up the edges and gaps for soft edges and not too much overspray inside the gaps

Is there a way to reverse engineer another Grose jet into our SU's?

Also the valves could be rotating between adjustments. If the seats are inconsistent then your lash would change based on orientation

Yeah, that could be smoother

@SteveJ

I have done some tuning on those years of GM vehicles. They have the ability to adjust the fuel base on the values in the fuel map and O2 input but it's limited. You will need to data log and adjust from there. Be careful and dont spool it up until you get the fueling closer.

Multi meter should be able to handle the diagnosis

Will be interesting to see how it does
