EGR and manifold removal tips-78 280Z
Rebello heads have all studs replaced with the bigger size. I just did the first and last. My MSA header already had those holes enlarged. It's a very common upgrade. With the head on a work bench, R&R those studs will be 1,000 times easier.

Eddie Radatz girlfriend said y'all were having a 25th anniversary meeting tonight. Another club member also inquired about my "blah, blah, blah". Thanks for joining me up with your club.

ABS glues for plastic part repairs
I used Oatey ABS pipe glue with some strips of fiberglass mat, worked really good too. Cost $4 at local hardware store and there's enough left to do 47 more consoles.

1 too many in the family
The 280 was like my high school car and my first car motor rebuild. Zero rust and I wouldn't hesitate driving it to Zcon in Canada. I prefer 240s but a 280 is a little more comfortable to drive. They're better long distant road trip cars and I'm planning on driving the Blues Highway in Mississippi this fall or winter. Plus being a grease monkey like I am that white interior has to go.

EGR and manifold removal tips-78 280Z
I removed my EGR and the BPT valve. You have to remove the heat plate that's under the AAR valve with the two heater hoses and the vacuum switch then plug a vacuum hose that runs from the BPT valve to under the TPS to close the system back up. I have some pictures, when you get closer let me know and I'll post them up. Those broken studs, the first one and the last one, can be tapped and the next size exhaust stud put in. I bought mine from Nissan, it's for their 8 cylinder Titan pickup. Remove this heat plate and keep this AAR

Fuel tank repair
You really don't have to coat the inside. Blue didn't here and they weren't from the factory. Just keep it full. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm I used Red Kote on one 6 years ago and haven't had any problems so far. And @Bonzi Lon used it some years ago and I don't think he's had any trouble either, hopefully he will reply and tell us the years. Maybe the radiator shop just don't want to fool with it?

Problem installing TechnoVersions differential mount 1971 240Z.
I googled that and there's a lot of discussion on problems installing. https://www.google.com/search?q=Problem+installing+TechnoVersions+differential+mount&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=Problem+installing+TechnoVersions+differential+mount&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 You've most likely read it already though. @Zed Head will know.

polyurethane car paint got sprayed a little bit on dashboard! How to remove??
That's one of the first words I learned working with some guys from Guatemala, that and maricon. Cheech told Chong that pendejo meant "friends". They crashed in someones front yard and Chong was saying "hey pendejos!!"

N42 L28
Thanks, that was the intentions of the guy I bought a 240 from. It came with an e31 and f54 block with 87mm dished pistons but no cam kit. I've got that same Schneider cam. I just have to install it onto the e31. Waiting for cooler weather. He also gave me the triple weber 40s and Cannon intake. They need to be rebuilt though. I'm a little intimidated by those right now. Just starting to get comfortable with my SUs.

No Good Deed...
What results do you guys have? No leaks I hope. Jim A. most of my 240 parts come from Irving, TX. I know that's a distribution center, is that how Courtesy keeps their inventory so straight? Is Richardson close to Irving?
