I found my horn pad under one of the seats on a car I bought a month ago. I took them out looking for anything illegal, :paranoid:. Couldn't find anything,

Be extra careful with your water pump bolts, they'll be rusted and easily brake off. Keep note of which ones go into which hole, they're different lengths and sizes.

I don't think he realized it was yours when he responded. People put craigslist ads up all the time when they're window shopping.

Looks good! Do all the classic tags have the car's year up top in Michigan? I never seen that.

Here's something to read about tuning your SUs. It helped me enough to get by until I get the DVD from ztherapy. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/su-carb-technical-articles/41940-quick-dirty-su-tuning.html And here's a post on understanding the timing, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/engine-drivetrain-s30/51042-reading-distributor-specs-expected-real-world-performance.html

My '87 Hardbody was clicking awhile back. I cleaned all the ground connections and it stopped. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html

Wow! what a 1st experience with the Zs. I'm guessing your OK by the kindly worded post. Read this post by a guy with a '78 too, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/misc-s30/52438-steam-powered-z.html He's had a problem with over heating. Especially look at post #29, it'll show why you've ran hot. You'll get a lot of help here, welcome to this forum. Loosen the bottom radiator hose and put a hose pipe in the top and flush the radiator the best you can. Then take the drain **** out of the bottom of the radiator and put the hose back in the top. Crank your car and let it run, adjust the flow of water to match what comes out the drain hole.

They're snug fitting compared to the old rubber. Be sure to use plenty of the lube that you get with the kit, it'll creak later on if you don't. Here's what helped me the most, Z Tech Tips Suspension (AtlanticZ.ca) || |Â |Â Â |Â Â Â |Â Â Â Â Â |Â Â Â Â Â Â Â |Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â |

Wow! I've never seen a straight 6 cylinder block used as a toilet. That's funkier than the Cheerio looking things coming out of the vents. You have a very intriguing Datsun.

Carrollton's an hour away. Hopefully I can get involved with you guy's club, It's boring around here.

No, you have to use those same doughnut washers that cover both intakes. The header holes are big enough too. I got the stud kit when I got the 6to1 ceramic header too. When I was playing with them I noticed that they would spin up & down without any effort. That made me think they'd come loose just as easy? So I got into this whole out of round nut locking nut thing. I went to my Nissan parts manager and he said to not use the ones that spin down. Get specific exhaust stud nuts, out of round is what he called them. Once you tighten them down they won't back off, no lock washers needed as they cause an uneven torque. I decided to get the big ones and tap out the holes. I only did 4, I wish I had done them all. Hindsight! Ask Phillip's opinion, I tend to over do it myself.

Is that at Barber's? I live 2 blocks off highway 411 that runs into highway 78 that goes to the track. 45 minutes from my house. Or at Talladega's road course? 30 minutes from my house. I'll google that for more information. Thanks Steve.

Hardway is now Startoffgoodway.

I finally have a car that I'd be proud to show off. I've been holding off on coming over because of that fact. I'll be at one of the Fall meetings for sure and can't wait to meet you Steve.

Not the block, the cylinder head. It's aluminium and easy to do, 10x1.25 to 12x1.25 threads. At least you could do the 1st and the last one, they'll be wallerd out anyway. It sure feels better clamping down on those MSA headers. Those stud kits you get with it are Chinese junk, they'll rust over in no time.

My late '77 has that plug. It also has the sloped up rear deck, does yours? I think in July or August they called them "late '77". Mine build date is 08/'77.

The 1/2" elbow at the top of the tank for the 3/8" line. The same under the vent tank. I cut it close with the measurements. And the tank before I put it back.

I used about 12 feet of speaker wire, the clamps off an old battery charger and 2 alligator clips to straight wire my fuel pump to the battery. Taped the wire down the passenger's side with painter's tape. I use that all of the time testing different things with straight 12 volts. You can also put your Lowes gauge into a 5 foot piece of hose, you don't need the high dollar fuel injection hose for this temporary testing, coming off that "T" then zip-tie it to your windshield wiper so you'll be able to drive and watch the fuel pressure. Leave the hood unlatched.

I wish that was gold! These old 240s would be like the goose that lays golden eggs. I got it all put back together Saturday morning. $65 worth of fuel hose and clamps from O'reillys. Two 3/4" pex elbows for the 180 turn on the 5/8" hose off the back of the tank. Two 1/2" pex elbows for the 3/8" line that hooks in above the sending unit. 1 where the hose goes into the tank, the other under the vent tank to keep the line from pinching together. Started at 5:30 a.m. and was finished at 10:30 a.m. Cleaned up and laying on my couch at 11:30, drinking beer. The universal hose was cheaper but a bit tougher to deal with I'd imagine. Vaseline and a hair dryer were my #1 tools. I'm happy with the end results.

We have a similar problem, musical chairs but with cars and garage space.

Bigger exhaust and intake bolts, I put big ones on each end and 2 in the middle. Now I wish I had done them all, it's a lot sturdier. I think Rebello puts the bigger ones on their re-builds from the pictures I've seen. If you want the part #s I have them, kind of hard to see on the receipt. New plug in connectors and clips for the fuel injectors, a guy on e-bay has a kit for 6 injectors, CSV and the coolant temp sender with the heat shrink included. Hex head hold down screws for the injectors, also have that part number in my file.

Would it be easier to push the hoses through their grommets then hook them to the fuel tank 1st. Snug the fuel tank up, then attach the hoses to the vent tank? I'm trying to work out a plan in my head and that's the best way I can figure out??? Thanks for any past experiences.

Now that's an obvious solution! Too much A. Guthrie? He's nuts!

My new rod is bent just as the old one is. Hopefully it'll be close. Now back to the shoes. I'm no Imelda Marcos but my foot's been size 10 since I was 14, so I have about 50 pairs of shoes and boots, no kidding. Good shoes last a lifetime! My girl friends get a big kick out of my shoe closet. And Thorlo socks, ONLY, they're the best made.
