Looking fro help with fuel issue
Try taking the gas cap off and see what it does. Pull the hose off the input of the filter and see if you can suck fuel up, or blow into it and listen for bubbling in the tank.

Radiator Fan Installation
They're "double threaded rod with a nut". You see the shorter threads? They go into the water pump.

I hope I remember this right... Short threaded end of studs into water pump slide the pulley/hub looking thing over them put the fan clutch on the other end of the studs and then put the lock washers and nuts on get some band aids for your bleeding knuckles

Console Tech
I fixed my 240's cracks with fiberglass weave and ABS black glue. Worked it on the underside and it turned out great.

Looking fro help with fuel issue
Another idea... I've read on here where cars that sat needed fuel poured into the overflow bungs to get the floats moving up and down maybe unsticking the fuel valves? If you get the float chambers full of fuel at least it would run for a little longer than ether. Maybe if you got it going and worked the throttle rod it would fix itself? Kinda like an "Italian tune up". Good luck!

Is the filter on the inner fender full? Run a hose off the outlet nipple of the pump into a can and work the arm. See if it pumps gas out. Also a good place for the pressure gauge.

Which FPR are you using? I just told a guy there weren't any good ones less than $250. How bad did I do?

fuel rail and pressure regulator suggestions-78 280Z
The '78's a lot easier to replace than the previous years. It only has one inlet and then the return to the fuel tank line. I bought from rockauto for about $70 IIRC? I made myself an aluminum rail and it really helped displace the heat. The critical measurements are in post #21 from our good friend @Willoughby Z And Zeds dead on about those adjustable FPRs. The only one I've ever read that held pressure was an Airtech I believe, $250. You can make your own gauge for $20 and put it after the fuel filter similar to @EuroDat's.

Anybody need some misc parts?
Do you have the elastic cord and hook that holds the rear deck while messing with the spare? Those are mostly broken.

Anybody need some misc parts?
I recently received a fusible link upgrade from a Cadillac car from @wal280z I'm not doing the swap until it cools off here, October maybe? If I end up not using those you're welcome to them. I haven't spent time reading the directions yet so I'm not positive it's still used?

Same here. I haven't been out in 3 days. Going a little stir crazy, alcohol helps.

If it has the oe radio still, doubtful, 240260280 needs the knobs. The steering wheel is easy to get. And drum role here.......the carbs. I know they're gone but wishful thinking.

Thats what I did on my hood emblem when I removed it for cut and buff of the old paint when I first bought the car. They made a click noise when they were seated. I did not push them up onto the plastic post. Barely on then pushed the emblem down, click click.- Fender Emblem Installation
