Best money I've ever spent, legally.

Does it run better above 2,500rpm? That's where mine cleared up and in the end I had to do the coolant temp sensor tweak to the ECU. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html

Are the first 2 cam lobes pointed up? http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/timing/mechtime.html If it's at TDC the pulley should only be able to go on with the slot for the square key pointing straight up. Is your AFM plugged in and sealed up good? You should check your vacuum and fuel pressure. Make sure these aren't crossed up too.

What ever happened to the "hellfire" ECU that guy was trying to do on here? 4 years ago last month.

10.7:1 compression with a .475 cam using stock efi. Seems awful close to a ill running car. Buuuut slap a pair of SUs on there... See where I'm headed Ferg.

The Monkees were "followers" it seems. I never knew Jimi Hendrix had anything to do with them, thanks @black gold man Now I read they blamed Jack Nicholson too. https://people.com/music/monkees-michael-nesmith-memoir-infinite-tuesday-drugs-illness-jack-nicholson-bromance/

Like those $250 SUs.

Ha! I'm with you on that, it's too hot for much of anything to get done around here. To be honest I'm not 100% my gauge lights even work. I never drive them at night. I did find some of the cool lighting Captain Obvious did but his photos won't show up in the treads. Here's some from an image search... https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&q=captain+obvious+speedometer+bulb+classiczcars.com&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjlwoLM_P3jAhUImuAKHUd4BqwQsAR6BAgGEAE&cshid=1565635010398541&biw=1280&bih=606#imgrc=_

You notice the right side of your speedo? It's dimmer than the left. @Captain Obvious figured how to fix that but I can't find it. Captain, you got your ears on? Come back...

I don't think the dimmer works with leds. I like the white leds myself, just looking at photos of them.

Here's mine, never removed.

@dmorales-bello

Look through this thread. Page 2 has some gauge info.

Nice! Will you install led bulbs in the gauges? There's some good info here on that. Superbrightleds.com I think is where they get them. It really looks good.

I've got 2.5" on my '72 also. Mine won't fit up into the cut-out on the rear crossmember/differential mount and is a little low. I saw your picture and was amazed. Then I realized it's on ramps. Beautiful car.

@Av8ferg You're wanting a 240. If you haven't already spent a bunch on your efi buy these carbs. You'll have more comfortable 280 with 240 performance. I'll find rossiz'z thread on doing just that. It's a fantastic read with good results as planned. It's on my laptop, sorry but I'm using my phone atm. In my opinion that's the draw to 240s. Those SUs, when dialed in, are awesome. Totally different than efi to me.

$250! With knurled drops. That's a great deal. I wouldn't even sale them.

A good song from the boobies page. Thanks @conedodger

How old is the fuel filter? It does good after cooling? OR the sediment in the filter falls down. I went through that with mine. Ran good for 5 mintues then I walk home to get another car and tool bag. Get back and it fires right up, 5 minutes later "wash rinse and repeat".

Seems like mine show around 13.5 volts while idling. Go to a auto parts store and get a free load test. Check the tension on your alternator belt too. Could be a little loose?

They look nice! It's like a nice shiny front tooth inside a mouthful of coffee stained teeth. ? Now y'all are going to have to do the whole interior. But they do look good.

Okay Boss, I have one headed your way. 3 more to go.

That maybe the ugliest Z I've seen so far but the bar isn't too low. With the values increasing like they are these ridiculous builds are over IMO. No more V8 conversions either thank goodness.

Looks like the bottom half of a floormat to me? There's some canister routing with that rod alongside the valve cover me thinks. Just guessing. The top does look like a section of rebar cut out though. Never seen it stacked like that? There's some heat shield around the injectors too. Somebody buy it and answer our questions, please!
