@Home Built by Jeff Did you say that about the house?

Are you sure the fuel pump valves are sealing? If they don't the fluid will seek it's own level which is a foot or more below the fuel pump

Are you looking for a paper copy? If not, they exist online here on the forum

Now that's rusty!!!

@zclocks

If the drums have lots of wear, that produces a ridge of metal that makes it very difficult to remove them. It gets much easier if you get the adjusters to move.

Can you get to and turn the adjusters?

$3500 was a bargain!!! Congrats

It has a run date now, the 8th

Mark and I have communicated and will hold off for now. However I did some looking and it appears Courtesy can get the older boots up to 11/76. I don't know what the difference would be. the later boot shows as NA

A time capsule!!! Too cool...

@outlawswine A small thing, many of these threads get broken links in them months or years later when the pictures are no longer hosted where ever (photobucket sucks) If you upload them to the site. The administrators will make sure they last and others can learn from these threads with the pictures still present...

My condolences. PM me and we can see if I can help

I am a hoarder, so am somewhat biased, but finding another 35k mile 240z in the future you can afford will be a tall order. Provided you sell it... You could always find a better, dry place to store it for a few years until the business gets going a little bit.

Are the boots unavailable?

If I had new markers for the other three corners, I would use them. @SteveJ @Captain Obvious would dielectric grease in the bottom of the light socket help anything or make things worse? Jalex, I suspect that rust is a fact of life in Panama. The other ones did last 40 or so years though. We'll see if I can get an expert to respond on adding something in the socket.

Also the 280z is already an EFI car so easier to re-power with a more modern EFI engine. The tank and fuel system is already set for high pressure and return and the electrical system already has locations for ECU power and fuel pump power

How did you finish the removable section?

My concern with new locks is the metal. The older metal from Japan is far superior to most of the metal being used now.

Now I have anvil envy!

I get the same screen if I open it in Chrome

I was working more along the lines of being able to combine all the locks I have to rebuild a good set of locks all keyed together. I have a few locks to work with...

On a different note, can I pull the engine and transmission as a unit out of a 510?

I will try to take a picture of the 4 speed adapter. It is a good inch longer than the Z adapters. The speedo gear is correspondingly longer. One is a 16 tooth and one is a 17 tooth. I don't remember which is which. For now I have the Z adapter in the transmission. I need to get the driveshaft shorted and the the shifter up through the tunnel. Then we'll do a road test for proper operation

It's fascinating how politicians around the world let their constituencies vote on something. Then, when they don't get the expected result, they do everything they can to not implement the voted outcome. I have an outsiders perspective on Brexit, but I would think being an independent and autonomous nation would be more desirable than being run over by a bureaucracy in Brussels.
