@MH77280Z has done this on a 280 if I remember correctly. May be of some help to you. After seeing what you did to your older garage, I'm a little claustrophobic and it made me cringe, I am so happy for you and your new space. 🙂

And be sure it's a high pressure pump for EFI. The fuel line going into the fuel filter should be as hard a rock with pump on. Also the hose coming out of the filter will be hard from pressure. The fuel pressure regulator is what brings it down a little, 32psi IIRC. You can get the metal fuel filter for $10 to $20. Good luck!

My Dad raised a gearhead and I didn't even know it. Started out as the keeper of the light shining "right here damnit" then tool chaser, he'd get flustered and throw wrenches. He hardly ever used sockets.

When you click on Zed Head's link to atlanticz find TPS Adjustment and see if any of that sounds familiar. There easy to fix once you where the vanes are supposed to be. Oh yeah. Those AFM black covers get popped off and on all the time. I can't remember the times I've read on here of people screwing with the wheel and wishing they hadn't. Look for those factory silicone blobs.

Good looking car! Love the color, put some orange on there and you've got a mini-917. I bought an all metal rechargeable from Lowes. It fits perfect (barely) in the tool bin behind the passenger's seat. I think this is it? But I don't remember the black handles. Mine are aluminum color. https://www.lowes.com/pd/First-Alert-5-lb-Premium-Rechargeable-Fire-Extinguisher/3822503

Sorry to hear about you and Janet's health problems but like everything else, if there's one person that always figures out a way it's you. So glad to hear from you! Cliff

This was a huge help for me since I had no clue about the carbs. I'll also add mine was a hard start too until I adjusted the valves. That helped a lot.

Or Jegg's possibly? I would think you could find one on the side of the road. It's not like it's a radiator cap for the space shuttle. Your OCD is making things a lot tougher than they are.

I can hardly wait until you start bashing it with a hammer as Zed Head mentioned, then posting the results. Should be a hoot!

Or...don't get in traffic jams. I don't with my '72 just early morning weekend drives on the side streets. This 240z is surely not your daily driver. You still have that Volkswagen you had on pelicanparts.com?

The price would be helpful if you really want to get rid of them. Plus being able to turn them over with a cheater bar or something to to show they aren't locked up. You sell on ebay, prostore@ix.netcom.com? Kinda' tough selling motors that have been siting for 20 plus years don't you think?

I bought an N42 that had been in machine shop jail for a few years, guy never came back for it and I paid maybe $200 for a newly rebuilt head with an oiler cam installed. Put it on and went about 5 miles and the god awfullest noise came from the valve train. Limped back home and found a lash pad had come off. Thank goodness there was no damage and @Jeff 78 280z talked me down off the ledge, told me how to fix it and I've not had to look back. Runs great every since.

Arguing with your machinist is worse than arguing with you doctor, he's always right no matter if he's wrong.

Those run through the manifolds to warm up a cold set of carbs. They circulate coolant through the bypass lines on the passenger's side and then the thermostat housing. I think they are a potential leak waiting to happen so I have mine disconnected. It's plenty warm in Alabama so they add unnecessary heat through my manifolds. The bigger one near the windshield is actually a thermostat that closes the flow off when it gets to a certain temp and you're right about the front nipple, it goes to the thermostat housing. Here's a bunch of threads about it. https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+intake+manifold+coolant+line+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1121US1121&oq=240z+intake+manifold+coolant+line+classiczcars.com&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigAdIBCTMwNTQ5ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Outstanding car! It just screams rust free and many more years of ownership. Congratulations, you can always find room for a 240 no matter where you live.

It says on BAT and other places...🤣 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4161254077491653/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Good song I heard in a movie with Harry Dean Stanton, "Lucky". Weird movie but he was weird guy in cool way in all his movies.

The smart ones hide, sit back and chill. That's why I'm on here everyday, trying to learn something. 😁 Bugging the $^!# out of everybody...

This is funny...

I think the flat bottom ones are for grinding down? They sent me .190 with my cam kit. I thinks that's a little thick and they say it's all they have. Won't know for sure until I use them so...probably never. 🤣🤣

Have you read the story of Tommy Iommi cutting off the tips of his fingers on his fretboard hand? The things he did and how it affected his guitar style supposedly was the first time anybody did that low eerie sound like Sabbath had. Ozzy was the godfather of heavy metal singing and Iommi was the godfather of heavy metal guitar. Pretty good read when you get a minute.

I've been playing around with the free AI the last week as it's scorching hot down here and everywhere else too. Anyway it's pretty neat plugging in numbers and seeing the supposed results. My main goal is to eventually figure out my P90 head I bought for $25, yeah that's right twenty five dollars 😁, hopefully what valve length and lash pads I'll use and how much to cut for the Schneider cam kit I bought many years ago. I don't think it's my cam though, just a core I sent in but it has high lift so I'll be using the Viton Ford valve seal as the OEs would get squished. @Diseazd has given me some advice also to go along with the P79 and P90 modifications Datsun garage provides. https://datsunzgarage.us/p90/
