Quick and dirty SU Tuning
Checking plugs after revving is useless! Check them after being driven like suggested Adding turns is just gonna put more fuel down the exhaust for more popping. Get a wideband sensor!!!!

Draw through carb turbo setup
Glass beads work great. You may know this but for those who don't glass beads can be dangerous too. Use a cabinet or a respirator to prevent silicosis. Once heavy particles get into the lungs they generally don't come out. Drowning in your own juices doesn't sound like fun...

Yeah, I was looking at the radar. Looks like the house is gonna take a good soaking in a day or so. We may get some thunderstorms here but will mostly miss us. If it rains though it will be stupid humid and hot tomorrow...

I would say that car is trading in the range we have been seeing lately. I agree that would have been over priced several years ago but not so much now. Always buy a car with the least amount of rust. Everything else is secondary to that...

It is a fairly easy conversion...pedal set, tranny, slave cylinder, some hoses and some interior trim pieces

Project Boondoggle (or, so I went and bought a Z!)
@Jaymanbikes The cut out in Dave's door looks larger than yours. Look at how close the bell crank is to the door opening versus yours...

Are you sure it's for a Z? Could it be for a 510?

Front grill assembly parts
Yeah! Let it fly... Would love the cowl screws... If I can't source the correct fastener a good picture would be the next best thing. I don't even know what they look like...The biggest thing for grill bolts is there is no length listed. I assume they are clear zinc and not yellow... Are you selling the hood trim? Ours is damaged but usable...

Thinking about installing an BMW M6 engine in my Z
But what was the cause? I wouldn't think there was any water in there, so water intrusion at a light?

Front grill assembly parts
I am looking for the fasteners for this section of the car http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/bluebird-1968-1973/body-(sedan)/front-outside #1 The little screws for the hood trim, can't find a part number for that #2 Fender molding screws - need 8 of each 08915-43710 - washer - discontinued 08510-70812 - screw - discontinued #3 Headlight finisher screws - need 8 of each 08530-41620 - screw - available 08964-10440 - spring nut - discontinued #4 Grill fasteners - need 4 of each 08360-61610 M6x1.0 bolt/screw - available 08915-4361A washer - available #5 The little philips screws for the wiper /cowl panel - need 5 If I could find someone that had all of that, great. That would be easier than sourcing from multiple places. I assume the fender molding screws could be stainless but likely clear zinc Thanks for the help C

Modifying a '70-71 choke knob to fit a '72
I have been in the South my whole life and work out in the heat but I prefer a little bit of cold air when possible. Converting refrigerant is not an issue and the really valuable part of the system to me is the interior portion that piggy backs so well...

How Do I hate Rebuilt Components? Brake Booster
Yeah, that's what I figured. I contacted a couple of booster rebuilders to see if I could source the parts through them but there is really no money in it for them so the interest wasn't there. When I had a booster apart there was a part number on the large rubber diaphragm. I found that by googling but nothing in reasonable quantities. The real solution is to make these in small runs or find a rebuilder who has a source for ordering these parts...
