Cold air issue
Best present ever! My neighbors, young money makers with 2 young babies that i took under my wing, helping in their yard and feeding their animals just dropped of my present. I'm speechless... There really are Christmas miracles.

smell of gas inside car
Raw gas smell or burnt exhaust would be a good tell.

weird sound upon cranking
I've watched my Dad whack the solenoid with the handle end of a big screwdriver and it fixed it for how long I'm not too sure. If it's an older starter clean the contacts and make sure the small wire up top seats onto the terminal good and tight. All of the connections while your bent over. I've read shining the ground metal on the starter fixed one. The black one from the battery to the starter mount bolt. Good luck!

Cold air issue
I'm somewhat anxious about this drop in temp. Haven't had the problem since 1989, now it's back. Hopefully there will be no damage if I just stay home. No early morning drives for me. Stay safe friends and have merry Christmas.

Guess what made my 51 year old car stop working after driving it for 22 years without a problem?
That something I do every single time I have my hood up, click that light on. Strange habbit, strange guy but I feel like the plastic toggle won't break if I use it regularly. So far, so good. I didn't know they have the extra wire under them until I saw one for sale on Ebay. Instructions and owner's manuals have never meant much to me.

Re bleed needed?
Looks like the earlier ones are harder than my '72 was? I found some threads for you to read over when you can. https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+brake+booster+threaded+adjustment+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=240z+brake+booster+threaded+adjustment+classiczcars.com&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i546l5.29977j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

When my booster went bad the pedal was hard to push down. Just throwing that in the mix...

Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
I've got some 12 year old bourbon that was barreled when that thread started.

Strands vs single wire. Great idea!

If the consoles not in your chokes handle isn't secured, right? My 1st 240 I didn't know any better and left the choke pulled back (nozzles down) all the time in my garage. Why stress the choke cables? When they're down they are constantly refilling with fuel I figured out finally. About explotarded my garage apartment.

Do a deep charge on you're battery. Kind of sounds like starter troubles?

saturday night music thread
Recent activity on here reminded me of this song. Good song, don't know the lyrics though so if it's some goofy song well..."it's me, it's me, it's Ernest T".

I do now after a simple oil change proved tomorrow isn't always the same as today. After using a floor jack to get under mine I went for the oil catch pan. My car rolled back and fell off the jack hitting the very front of the oil pan. I have a badly dented oil pan to look at the rest of my life thankfully.- Fuel pump eccentric on a 2.8L
Alexa is my main squeeze, then Xfinity's support girls are my stood by's. I like the way they call me "Mr Vealson".- Fuel pump eccentric on a 2.8L
I'm in the same boat as @jonbill. Never seen that before. I'm not sure it would flow enough off the cam nose bolt? The little square on the pump's arm wouldn't be friendly on that big nut's square sides I would think. Stranger things have been seen many times by me on here so who knows?- saturday night music thread
I've not heard Queen without Freddie singing. This is pretty cool with the drummer Rodger Taylor doing the singing.- saturday night music thread

I'd rather have the '73 vs the low mile '77 for the same money. His prancing pony friends might have something to do with the odd prices?- Z's on BAT and other places collection
$65,000- Choke delete?
Mine needs choke like I need coffee.- Z's on BAT and other places collection
I guessed close though before the flaws were brought out. Add the fees and delivery charge $175 sounds good. I like what Hs30-h said about being original. I slept good last night knowing what I have.- Bumperette locations
My 69,000 something vin # '72 bumperettes location as I viewed the OE bumpers. Rear is in my storage building front is on my 280. Anyhow the rear hole was one and 3/4" center to center... Front was 20" from the edge of the side of the bumper to the center of the bumperette hole. Hope this helps, kinda half arse but it's another feather in the hat. - what happens when safety comes last...
