  1. That hurts like hell, like a hundred papercuts. If you have the valve cover off you can use the cam sprocket bolt too. You don't want slack on the driver's side of the chain so if you go past the mark don't roll the car backwards.
  2. I have to ask because I have no clue but does y'all's snow have salt from the Atlantic?
  3. You've been reading Playboy's Forums again.
  4. I would loosen the distributor and have someone crank it over while you turn the distributor. It should get better one way and worse the other. You say it cranked but now it won't. Check the simple stuff. Coil wire, rotor button, etc.
  5. RIP Neil Peart
  6. 2? They don't crap either, too fancy. Kramer will feed them some chili though. Goodnight Sir! I've hit my limit.
  7. Electric one of these... And a Peleton for ms harry.
  8. Who needs BAT commentary? We have better here that aren't involved.
  9. @jfa.series1 might know the answer? I was thinking the "summer/winter" flap housings were the first but after a Google image search I proved myself wrong, once again. Good to hear from you Bob. You've been missed.
  10. Did Beetlejuice show up too?
  11. I love a good pun, a punney puny pun. Say that 3 times real quick!
  12. Yes, that's the New York business man on the left.
  13. I read up that trait years ago and found something that has helped deal with it better because it's usually someone you work for. Don't blow air into their ballon.
  14. I just read the Princess and Prince are moving to Canada. Now they can smoke legally. Rich people problems.
  15. Ms Fairlady? Is that a pun for lady justice or a talking Nissan car?

    I agree with the others and should have kept my mouth shut. When I bought my 280 it was my hobby of the moment so I read all I could find. Then rebuilt the motor and deleted a bunch of stuff. My thinking was less is best so I quickly bought a 240. If you can spend $70 and keep it stock buy a new accordion boot and consider yourself lucky.

    I'll look at mine tomorrow and see if I can splain better with my laptop.
  18. Google "coil pack conversion classiczcars.com"

    I ran my valve cover hose to the backside of the throttle blade to keep it cleaner. They get sticky after a while. The efi cars are so effected by closed up intakes that I can't see how that would work very well. Remove the oil cap and see how it dies down. The 240s seem to run good without them, I've seen that a lot. I've seen it on 280s too it just doesn't make sense.

    Living in Ohio you might need it. If it's a '78 you should be good unless a previous owner rerouted them somehow. My '77 came off the valve cover and crudded up the throttle body.

    That's for the Auxiliary Air Regulator for cold start up. Feeds it more air to raise the rpms. I deleted mine so it's not an issue. It's not too cold down here especially in my garage. Whatever year you have if you plan to keep it I'd reroute the hoses like the '78s. They don't use greasy air from the valve cover. Here's a '78. zcardepot.com has them for $70. https://zcardepot.com/products/air-intake-maf-afm-hose-oem-280z-280zx?variant=19277905297521&currency=USD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2YeUnYzy5gIVipyzCh2h7QeVEAQYASABEgLuffD_BwE

    I thought about cold air intake hoses years ago when I first got the 280 I have now. https://www.google.com/search?q=cold+air+intake+boot&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiyz7K_gvLmAhVBm-AKHauFDdUQ_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1280&bih=606&dpr=1.25 O'reilly's has some that look workable. https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/b/fuel---emissions-16775/carburetors---parts-16801/air-intake-hose-12338/e51bf1f186bc
  23. Who'd a thunk Wilwoods would be used as "plan A", you know, to STOP.
  24. Maybe wrong on retard vs advance?
  25. That line should look like your example pic above. If it's even with the U cut out, its retarded. Moving the cam sprocket to the next number will fix that.
