He doesn't want to burn down his garage. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/open-discussion-280zx/49539-fire-z.html

If there's an easy to remove M10x1.0 bolt on my car tell me where and I'll check it out for sure but I think you've nailed it down.

It's definitely an M10, I've got a cheap plastic nut & bolt gauge, and it's definitely not a 1.25 thread or 1.5, I've got a tap & die set and it won't screw into either of those 2. I do not have a bolt that will screw into it, neither will the 1.25 & 1.5 taps. It has 5 threads per 5mm or 2 10ths of an inch the best I can tell so as usual your right! It does have a copper washer between the valve and the pump body.

Anything for you Sir. It's the same as most other fuel barbs I have collected, 1/8 NPT threads. The threaded part measures 1/4 long or deep into the pump, .39" across. Overall length is just under 1 1/4" from end to end, 1.235" to be exact. I would give you mine but that pump is still good. After spending probably $300 to fix a low fuel pressure stumble I thought I had, I finally did what the 280 Lady, Fastwoman said and tweaked the coolant sensor, under $5 bucks and now it runs great. If I can do more let me know. Cliff

BUYER BEWARE. This is too cheap! 1982 280ZX 2.8L Electric Fuel Pump - 69612 - Bosch - Electric Fuel Pump

I must have gotten the last one! Now all they have are Beck Arnley's for $800, same pump though. I googled Bosch 69612 and nobody has them. And it's not as simple as a valve stem.

I put a new Bosch on when I bought the car, throwing $$ at problems that weren't there but I'm glad I did any how. I pinched off the lines with hemostats I've collected throughout my motorcycle wrecking career, Evil Kenevil was my hero. I have about 12ft. of paired wire with clips on both ends for testing stuff and I hooked it to the pump and the battery then put the out line into a clear jug, 5 gal. peanut oil container and let it run. That hose blew out and gas went all over the place so be sure and clamp it down with something, it's super strong. That's how I primed mine. And I got it from Advanced Auto online with a coupon code from retailmenot.com for around $200. I've got the old one still and could take some pics for you if needed, seems like the check valve is just a valve stem. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/fuel-injection-systems-s30/36255-fuel-check-valve.html

What's another couple hours of work right? Another 12 pack!

It's no wonder why your lucky daughter wants that car, it looks great and now runs great. Congratulations to you & her.

Having problems with the photos. I guess my 2.8 rods are different from 2.4 rods.

I remember my APR bolts were really snug, I tapped them down with a small hammer then put on a short piece of rubber hose to keep from scratching the crank when I tapped the piston down before the caps went on. EDIT: My extra set looks different. I apologize.

Maybe a fouled plug burning clean after a few seconds?

Crown & Coke but not one of the car? Come on, we're not all mechanics. Your killing me with the stripped down KTM. A camera is my favorite tool.

Could you use a smaller 3/8" drive and extension? maybe unbolt it from mount to tranny to give you more wiggle room?

You'll be better off, IMHO.

Does everybody's stock turn signals blink faster than most cars? Mine is faster on the tach gauge than the blinkers themselves. My Dad says older cars are like that but he spells Datsun with an "O". They work fine just faster than I'm used to, like there's a blown bulb. Just curious.

Northerners have salt to deal with. Down South it's humidity or stupidity, close call. I bought a dehumidifier for my Z nest and it's pulling a gallon a day at least.

Don't ask for it back? I've turned over a new leaf, no more borrowing from me (except my Dad). Edit: No more borrowing my stuff with the only exception being my Dad. My neighbor has been borrowing my weed whacker for 2 months. Always empty fuel tank when I have to go over there to get it back. Ahh neighbors, like opinions, everybody's got 1 or 2.

Put longer wires on there and run them through the fire wall leaving the box inside while you drive. Put some fuel in and go play, you'll feel, hear and see the differences. When mine got "right" the temp gauge was cooler the fuel gauge didn't move as fast and the car itself will pull like never before.

How about posting a picture of that fancy box, I'm curious to see the difference from what I did here. Except I ran mine into the cabin and mounted the knob where the radio volume knob should be. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html

I see plenty of Permatex Assembly Lube dripping out, looks like a murder scene.

I would think if you didn't touch the cam or anything related it would stay intact and in time. I'm looking at an extra cover right now and do not see anything that attaches to any timing parts. Just guesses. Good luck. I've only built one motor so I do not know, BUT it does look like you could leave all that stuff on the cover. You'd probably want to pull out the distributor and check the spindle position though. Maybe one of the racer will tell you for sure.

You did a good job on that, congratulations. I can't wait to see what the motor turns out like.
