The area you call garage ....
I have a 3 bay garage completely stuffed to the ceiling where ladders and bicycles hang with air lines and overhead pex plumbing. It's a garage apartment. My dog has a path to his dog door flap and that's all I care about.

Bringing a 1977 Z back life
Looks good to me. There's a raised mark on #1 of the cap. But that front clip is also a good marker. Sometimes people move them around to adjust for the distributors drive spindle being off a tooth or two. But if you had someone not familiar with the Zs firing order they will use a straight six ford or chevy order. My Dad

Thinking about trying to rebuild a 5 speed for the first time
I bought the Timken seals, one big one and a smaller one from a local parts store. Less than $10.

Bringing a 1977 Z back life
I have a length of speaker wire, about 15 feet, with alligator clips on one end and some old battery charger clips on the other. Straight wire the pump from the battery to the pumps positive and negative leads. Positive is in front. Sounds like you're tank pick up is clogged.

I put the bottom metal lip behind mine. '77 280 Spoiler on top, spoiler lip (scratched up), belly pan. Picture taken from the ground up. Stopped my high speed flexing, vibrating.

Thinking about trying to rebuild a 5 speed for the first time
I paid a transmission guy to pull mine apart and inspect. He told me to buy two seals, put it back together all for $100. Said the internals looked great. Been driving it for 6 years without any problems. Early '77 5 speed.

Brand new owner - need help w/ Christmas gift ideas for my kid
Let's hope his son does better. I trashed a beautiful '72 Camaro my Dad and I restored the year before turning 16. He should have known better though, he always said I could tear up a bowling ball when I was young, I went through go carts and motorcycles like toilet paper.

240Z hatch support strut question
Love the sound of the hatch closing. A slight thump.

Hesitation during acceleration
Have you popped the black cover off the AFM to make the sweeper vane is free and the contact surface clean? Just a thought. You may not want to remove it, mine is held on with zip-ties. One day I'll silicone back down. Another question I thought about, sitting still will it rev up & down like normal? Does it just hesitate under load? If the AfFM vane is messy it won't rev up.

Bringing a 1977 Z back life
I'd get the whole motor. Seriously, the '75 Non emission N42 intake manifold is a shortcut to a clean and simple motor. If you bought the motor you could rebuild it on an engine stand and take your time, while driving with the current engine. That's my nutty thinking and why I have a storage building full of Z parts. Luckily I have an old junkyard close by that has four or five to pull from.

Can't you just use water? EDIT: I guess you could though, never tried that.
