A boobie joke!

The white M car has Brian Jessel dealership sticker on the trunk lid. Must be part of their pre-owned program?

Oil swinger.

N42 has square too. Big valves also.

We say "treat it like it's yours" Cars, boats, houses, whatever you need except the girl.

Anxious to see what the OE fuel pressure regulator does. My set up is very similar to your's except for that. I've only read bad on the adjustable ones like the one your car. Maybe this will get you where you can pass smog check?

Thanks Jeff! I have a "volume knob" fix on my CTS. Louder=more fuel. I can flood it out. 2 things to do this winter when it's too cold out. Oh wait. I forgot about the 99 other things I punted on this summer when it was too hot. I'm getting old.

Google "blues tech tips". I think it's under "electrical". Here it is... http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html Or maybe this? http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/maxifuse.htm

Good to know! Thank you. I've got an N42 combo, head and block with dished pistons and some F54 flat top pistons I could put in the N42 block. I was worried about running pump gas but after watching what you did I'm not too worried about swapping out the pistons. I have some later 240 rods I'd like to use. I've read they do something better than the L28s?

I apologize for being lazy but are using the stock cam and EFI on your car? I'm wanting to pep up my 280 now after reading all you guys build threads. I've got the stuff and the car runs great but I'm bored...

I rechecked mine after the initial "run in", about 150 miles of varying speeds to set the rings then again at 500 miles. Haven't touched them sense. I really need to do that soon too. Glad it all came together for you. Congratulations.

California Datsun?

I don't see the differnce? I'm sorry, talked too soon. Looks like the cams are of different lengths.

I maybe confused you. Don't pound the plastic covers. The metal ones that go over the castle nut and bearings was what I did. I'm sorry for any confusion. I hope you didn't break the center caps?

But a set of brass core plugs and give them to the machinest. I used Sealed Power I think? This will keep you awake tonight... cylinder piston ring types have different honing/hatching recommendations. I bought chrome faced molly and it's different than steel. Something else to research. It never ends when you get bit by the Z.

I can send you the 2 bottom bolts and nuts that secure the dust cover to the bottom of the tranny pan. Let me know, I can get your address from Phillip.

I tapped my grease caps with a rubber hammer pretty hard until those center caps stayed on. I read on here a few days ago somebody used 1/8" spacers on the front to let them fit without denting the grease caps like I did.

That looks great! Your ideas always go straight to the top. As usual, looks amazing.

And that light weight flywheel. You got your money's worth.

You have my vote! SWMBO has my vote.

I could make those dished pistons with my laptop. You'd do well in politics... Non-unretouched covfefe.

'77 plate... There is two short bolts with nuts on the bottom but they go through the bell housing too.

I bought a Zx motor too a few years ago. My '77 flex plate had a bigger sort of rounded looking triangle opening for the crank and the starter hole. It has a locating dowel pin thing that holds it on but I'm almost positive the bellhousing bolts and starter bolts are what holds it on. It's sandwiched in between the block and the bellhousing so I don't see how it has any protruding bolt heads. The ZX flex plate has a smaller hole just big enough for the crank's rear to fit through. ZX dust cover...
