Fuel pump mystery
Doug , Another option is find a reputable shop in your area for z cars and have the car towed to them, and them fix it for you...

[2016] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
We reassembled the structure back into the hood yesterday. It's for Cody's goon, but anyway... Sorry, about the focus. Dadgum reading glasses...

vapor lock
About that time they were making a lot of modifications to the fuel that was available. Could have been a little of both, the cars being sensitive to heated fuel and the fuel being more volatile due to the additives and later ethanol From Wikipedia "Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol began a decades-long growth in the United States in the late 1970s. "

Front crossmember hardware
@zKars Jim I am really after the plates. I probably have spare bolts and washers I could use but can't locate the "special washers"

Front crossmember hardware
I need to source this front cross member hardware Norm @ Zeddsaver has it, but only on an exchange basis. I have looked through all my hardware but haven't been able to find them. Any of you guys parting cars have this hardware? The washers are more important than the bolts. Also size pitch and thread would be good to know if someone can check for me

what is wrong here?
It takes a while but you'll love it in the end. It is surprising all the little flaws that show up when you start blocking a big panel. The upside it will look like a mirror when it's finished and buffed

'72 240Z Rebuild
I haven't ever lifted the rear wheels but I suspect it makes it easier to get the tranny into the tunnel and not have to worry about ground clearance

Parts Needed 72 240 Z
I agree seems simple in principle. Best bet would be someone who works on window ac units. Also if you need it repaired, make sure it doesn't need length added. That would be the time to do it

1973 Rebuild
The welding won't take long but the prep work will take a little while and the hole below it will have to be retapped. Probably not out of line. The other numbers seem ok too

Project Boondoggle (or, so I went and bought a Z!)
If I pulled a starter out of a box, I don't know that I would have looked it over or shone a light down past the drive gear to look for missing screws. I would have worked on the premise that all the screws were in it. I suspect they are hard to see around that gear when properly assembled.

Parts Needed 72 240 Z
The copper line normally has a bulb at the end that sits against the evaporator in the dash unit. I assume it has gas in it. It could probably be repaired but might be cost prohibitive

Project Boondoggle (or, so I went and bought a Z!)
Is the starter a "reman"? That may not be on the mechanic if the starter didn't have the screws to begin with...
