I'm sorry I can't help you more now, I'm using my phone. I can help better in the morning when I have my laptop. Maybe someone can chime in before then? The nozzles are at the very bottom of the carbs and should move move freely with the throttle linkage. 2.5 turns counter clockwise is a base starting point. Mine run best at three to the 3.5 turns down. Let me get back to this in the morning, I'm enjoying some cold beers at the moment.

Set the valve clearance also.

Make sure the nozzles are moving freely. 2.5 turns down to start with. Don't get pissed but make sure the flatter side side of the valve cover gasket is right, other way and you'll have a vacuum leak.

David Copperfield of Z parts. 8^)

That's the IGN I beleive, 20 amp. What the hell is a caliberado? Curious on that, not familiar with the word. Me speakie no spanish.

Thank you Mr Warner. I'll have to read that a few times to wrap my head around it though. 8^)

If it's what I'm thinking I went around mine with a wooden wedge and tapped it with a hammer. Mine wasn't leaking but rubbing where the drive shaft sled up into that. Made a scrapping sound until I tapped it out evenly. I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing though. 8^(

The truth hurts so here goes, trade Red-Bird for a Camry or Accord unless your husband left a little insurance policy so you can buy one. I paid $2,000 for my '00 eight years ago and have 279,000 on it now. I could get in it right now and drive to drink coffee with Zed Head on the west cost in a day or two. I love Zs but they're toys after 40 years.

Could we plug yours and leave them on? Put some increment markings on there. Would the air box still fit? I really like your's. 8^)

They may not be NLA but Nissan would be high $$$. Try and find a part number, Courtesey Nissan would have one. I think a reman would be fine, for what thats worth. 8^)

I imagine it's also, according to him, NLA.

Can you help me out @Jeff G 78

I think I'll need a vacuum pump to get to 20 off the distributor? Then I eliminate that from my total. So with a vacuum pump I need to dial back my light to 27? Sorry to be a pita but the unknown scares me.

If the vacuum is unhooked do I still add the 20 into my total? Should it be 47 or 27? Or should the vacuum advance be hooked up instead of plugged? Thanks for any help, I'm confused once again.

I can was thinking the same Chas, wasn't 100 percent though. Check zcardepot too.

My 12 volt battery connects straight to the starter? California datsun does a lot of smoke and mirror tricks in their advertising.

"How to modify" book shows a lightweight gear reduction starter. I think I have one that came with some Z parts I bought. I'll see if I can find and get some info for you.

Finally had time to use Chas's brackets. It was tough getting the ends bolted down below the front marker light but after loosening the front spoiler and inner fender I was able to access that area with my hands and the tools I needed. The brackets to the frame and my 240 bumper were super easy, 30 minutes. The 10mm bolt on the ends took about an hour. It's nice and sturdy and ready to be painted, not by me though, I'm selling that car most likely. Thank you Chas!

That's a darn good idea! I have to unhook the hose each time. New hoses for me. Thanks

Google "z emblem restore hardway classiczcars.com" and see if his thread comes up. It has the details. I think I used #4-10 stove bolts for mine. They're actually smaller than eighth inch studs.

I sold PPG paint for years, four years. I had know idea they had separated the two. Learned my new thing for the day, thank you zKars.

Mine from Nissan are 1/8". I can't measure the studs on an emblem, they're all on my cars.
