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

I've got the high flow Melling oil pump on my 280 and it shows 3/4's on start up then 1/4 when hot at idle then back to 3/4's while driving.

I'd take the car that matches the cones over 2 of those 370's.

Plus me on those speed bleeders, fronts are different size than rear though. I put one on my slave cylinder too.

My best luck/prices has been rockauto.com and amazon.com. If you have an Advance Auto close by buy their stuff online and use coupon codes from retailmenot.com, sometimes you can get $10 off for every $25 spent, then pick it up at the store, no shipping charges. Also your local Nissan dealer. Bring the parts guy a cheeseburger & fries and you'll have a friend for the life of the Z. They used that motor up to the '84 Maxima I believe, so parts a plenty!

I had one fall out after a rebuild and Jeff helped me to get it back. I couldn't explain the procedure like he can. Way to go Jeff!!!

You sold it already? Or you kept it?

Kinda sounds like somebody was getting it ready for competition of some kind. You shouldn't try and crank it right off the bat, they'll get all the muck from the gas tank ran through the fuel system. Use the search box and put in "waking up the beast" or something like that, not positive what the words were. Read, read, and read some more, then when you get it take a bunch of pictures and then ask what to do. You'll get bombed with good ideas and suggestions. This is more about restoring to original condition but there's tons of "fast badass" on here. Here's a good read Datsun L-series ZCAR engine modifications. Welcome to CZCC

Good luck and I'll tell the 2 people around here that drive me nuts wanting mine. I'd be proud to ride with that car. Rocker stripes look good too.

Felpro from amazon.com $18 with free shipping to me, I'm not sure about your latitude.

That's a good looking car! He'll enjoy that for many miles.

And people make fun of us Rednecks racing lawnmowers.

Z_lis, 240s won't have BoostControledDecelerationDevice, BCDD, unless you have EFI for fuel delivery. Google it.

Bottle jack was #1 helper for me too.

Yeah, that's good to know. You wouldn't want that flowing coolant.

I think he's saying it won't turn over now.

If your talking about that big pipe below the head on the block that's for the PCV system. A hose runs from there to the PCV valve screwed in under your intake. I can't get the pictures in my library to cooperate right now. OK I got it. Where the red line is.

My Dad worked at a Goodyear plant when those little Honda Civiccs first came out and if somebody drove one they would pick it up with a forklift and hide it, damage be damned. Now there's a Honda plant here that buys tires from that same Goodyear plant. He's retired long ago and drives an American made Toyota.

According to Tom Monroe's book, pages 130 & 131, "if it's to the left it's retarded and the sprocket should be re-positioned clockwise to the next dowel hole and align 2 timing mark at teeth-if originally at 1- to bright link". That makes no sense to me though but that's what he wrote. EDIT: Could it have gotten off TDC a little?

It could be coming from your gear shifter boot. Under the leather one there's a rubber one that can get loose and open up a big hole. I don't remember but you might have to remove the console, but it's easy, few screws in the armrest compartment and some more up front in the foot wells. I just remembered, after a swig of coffee, you will have to remove it. The leather boot is held down with some metal clips under the console. Good luck finding that leak, it could be dangerous as was pointed out to me by a fellow member who said a late night drive with the fumes could turn into more than a stinking problem. More coffee; you could use a flashlight to shine up or down around the boot then climb under your car and look for the light shining through. Just a thought.

A Fram G3 is the filter most people use between the tank and the fuel pump, it's what I have, it's clear plastic. You can get them most anywhere for around $4. There has been some members that used an after market check valve, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/open-zcar-discussion/41635-fuel-pump-check-valve.html. I've had a glass filter before my fuel rail for over a year without any problems.

You'll need a tetanus shot too.

Sell it and take your new relationship person on a nice vacation.
