Yeah, me too! I'm sorry but I thought he was talking about a $15K paint job. I read from the bottom up. Lazy habit but I'm trying to do better.

If it's been sitting awhile I'd make sure all the carb parts are moving freely, nozzles dropping and raising back all the way. The oil levels are right in the domes etc.

This was most helpful for me on my 240. Got a lot of info but ended up using Red-Kote like I did on my 280 whisc I used this other link. Confusing, I know. I just woke up. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm

@Zedyone_kenobi is selling his roadster. He might sale his silver with red interior 240? @Hardway also looking for new projects. He has or had a nice silver one too.

Great to have an experienced wrencher, restorer on here. Welcome. Looking forward to your post. Cliff California Datsun?

HaHaHa! 'Ole Hoover bag.

I believe you've found the winner Granny. If it was blue with white stripes, definitely.

I use mine as a kitchen cabinet.

I wonder if @rossiz sold his EFI stuff yet?

Cheap oven cleaning foam works good on the first lap, the heavy crud layer. Then media blasting. If you get the heavy stuff off first you'll be able to reuse the blast material. Run it through a screen though.

This is what I ended up buying after wasting money on smaller stuff. Then this for small stuff...

Congratulations! The next ones will be rotors and pads, a little easier. You'll learn some neat things on here, colorful grammar too.

Me too! (78 yesterday ?)

If you take a screwdriver and turn this gear up? I think, it will tighten the shoes by spreading them further apart. First I would pull the emergency brake up a few times. That should get them tighter. You'll know by how far the handle comes up after a couple of pulls. Should be less and less with each pull.

$101 paper weight for now but one day...woo hoo!

I did away with all that stuff on my '77. Here's a picture of the plugged throttle body.

That's a good idea there, 240260280. Do you have to drive it like that or is all measured in the gravel driveway?

Very nice! The corks from Grey Goose are useful in many ways.

Yes! Very expensive too, if you can find them.

Welcome aboard. You'll love how easy they are to work on and all the info that's out there already. Whatever you run into has been done 1000 times before but now with photos.

I used a small sledgehammer on my rear drums. Took a couple of days and broke a few fins but they finally came off. It had sat for years too.

Me too!
