Rust Advice 78 280z
I like the ceramic header from MSA. They really cut down the under hood heat. I have them on both my Zs. You can paint most of your rusted stuff after removing the rust. Pulleys, motor mounts etc. I used a high heat clear satin on my injector hold down plates and a few other no paint parts. Anything you get rust off of will need protecting especially if you use muriatic acid. That stuff is mean but it works great. Neutralize it with baking soda and water until you coat it. It will flash rust in front of your eyes, within minutes literally.

Look through here for the best match. Cantech found it for some D hubcaps. I'm using my phone so can't cut through the post. https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/55558-topy-wheel-tail-light-finisher-and-d-wheel-cover-colour/?do=findComment&comment=496181

Lightweight Flywheels
By the time I get out of my driveway I'm used to the 10lb Tilton I have. I love the light flywheels. Learned that long ago with one on a 2.5 Mercury outboard. Hole shot was unbelievable.

Shifter Noise (with 'new' bearings) & Brake Drum question '78 280Z
That's what I would do too. Take it all apart and look for anything unusual. Those horizontal springs as well as the shoe's small push in the cap springs could be loose.

4-Runner looks nice and level, should be a good trip. Sucks you have to come all the way down to Birmingham but the fall leaves are looking good. ?

Here's a good read if you haven't seen it yet. Info on the AFM and ways to tell if it's been messed with, the "glue blobs" on the nuts. Thanks @240260280 "you will also notice a blob of silicone or glue. If this is broken, you can immediately determine that the AFM was "messed with". http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/afm/index.html http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/EFI&fuel.htm- 1978 280z starting help
Did it crank recently or is this a car your trying to get running? I think the '78s have a fusible link that will keep it from running. I've read that was a way to keep them from being stolen. They're the 4 wires close to the right strut tower. Check them for a good connection.- 1974 Datsun 260z
I agree. The paint needs "moisturizing".- 1974 Datsun 260z
- '75 280z - trying to set timing
Should have said sooner but that pic I grabbed from @240260280 is ZX cover. Probably different than '75 Z, I know they're bigger. - No Christmas Bonus!
