Route it through the heater core.

Here's a good picture of insulating the fuel lines from the thread "Nice '73 on BAT"

It must have had hot restart issues in the past. I'm going to post this picture in that thread. Maybe helpful to someone?

Yeah, when I pulled that panel out and removed the antenna I raised up and hit the bottom corner of the hatch with my head. That's the "after" picture Jim, like Greg says the before was;

Thank you for posting this. I cracked mine trying to bend it enough to get it out over a year ago, '77 280. This spring I went to the junkyard and managed to get another one out without breaking it. It's still sitting on a shelf in my garage. Turns out they're as hard to get back in as out. I did manage to bust my dome and get a few staples fairly easy.

I received an email via craigslist reply function the other day, the third person demanding a phone conversation claiming to be "a cash buyer". My reply mentioned classiczcars.com. Now you show up claiming to be a Datsun enthusiast with multiple web sites for the purpose of "I want to get a living database going so in the future buyers / sellers have sort of a fair market value calculator to go off of. Its also a little slice of history and just fun to look at for build ideas, etc." You joined our club yesterday claiming you "just saw this thread". Everything on your site is copied from zhome.com. You don't have permission from Mr Beck. Do yourself a favor and stop posting. My site is just an aggregator and the direct submission method just allows me to better keep the ads updated. Out.

Guy's got some eyes! Here's what mine looked like when I got it back from the machinist.

Steve, I'm sorry but I have no idea. I bought just the motor for the 3 screws SUs someone had put on there and luckily it had that head and the big rods with flat pistons. I've always read the perfect stamped E88 is the good one. This would be the later version with more quench, miss matched letter sizes, from what I've read. I think this is the early version, same size letters. I'm not positive about this, just what I've read. Both of my '72s have the same size lettering like this.

Here's mine from an automatic '73. It has the bigger cap bolts but no reliefs? It was an early version I guess, it had the good E88, it's on my car now until I get my E31 put together.

None of the four stock motors I've taken apart had any piston wedges or eyebrows cut into them. Two 2.4s, flat tops. One 2.8 with dished pistons the other a ZX with flat tops. None had any unless the dished ones would be considered because they are deeper?

Did you ever plug the coolant line that runs through the intake?

I wonder what the auction fees would total from Mecum on $10,000? There's a lot of attention from that level.

I haven't purchased them but Motorsport, thezstore.com has nice interior pieces from all I've read. Click on their ad at the top of the page. I've got the same car as your's I think, Red #110 with white interior.

...like high heels and wigs.

I think someone got a deal on that, automatic or not it's worth $10,000 from the pictures I saw.

Dad gum Steve, that R&R job has gotten pretty deep. He's a lucky man you have the car, if you do something you do it right or not at all. I like that. That's the reason I've pulled and rebuilt the engines on my two favorite Zs, after getting them running good enough to leave me stranded somewhere. I know what I have now, I put it together.

Most chain stores have the same. Not on their shelves but an overnight thing. Google the part number. You will have to bend the hard lines as the port angle changed. Good brakes are great! 8^)

Without looking at them I'm gonna say the bleeder will be on the top of the "right" cylinder and the bottom of the wrong one. That's just a guess until the morning when I have my laptop to look and see. I'm using my phone now, sorry.

I learned a trick from a commercial glass installer on poly butyl. They used Dollar Store Palmolive dishwashing detergent on their fingers and putty knives to smooth it out. It won't stick and pull when using that. I use it on my fingers smoothing silicone caulk. Works great.

It's on page 194, "High-Idle Problems". It says that the symptoms were mostly for extreme cold weather, warm climate Zs possibly escaped modification. Here's what I followed on my early '77. It's a '78 motor picture. I didn't use the hardline to the AAR just a longer piece of heater hose. I don't know why it's sideways? Not like that until I uploaded it.

Perfectly placed feathers blazed her saddle for my young eyes.

I think she has a '72 #110 with white interior, just like mine.

You can come up with a way to blow into the fuel fill hole and push it through. Put your hand over it and stick an air hose blow gun in between your fingers, it'll pressurize it sooner or later. I think you'd need the fuel rail end open though.
