I'm checking in. Thanks Captain.

Not dead yet! 😁 I've decided to take a break from the interweb, paying bills and checking weather reports is it for me. You guys are my gang and I appreciate everything. I had a knee replacement a year ago and have wasted all that on the internet. I would imagine quitting smoking about the same. I'll pass the wand to @Yarb Keep the library open my friend.

Too busy to watch MTV? Imagine that, your were doing life stuff.

The sugar scoops with round headlights added in the design would've been nice but I'm guessing they didn't do too good in the wind tunnel.

This is really a cool car! I would actually make a car payment for one of these. 🤩 https://www.roadandtrack.com/photos/g61112170/nissan-z-heritage-edition-photos/

EDIT: Your work looks fantastic! I run a 280 radiator with a full ZX shroud on mine. 173F at idle sitting in my garage without any air flowing into the front. Here's the two that helped me the most on my ZX swap. It works great with my Fireball PS20 coil. Bought the dizzy and coil from amazon.com If you'll read Mr Moore's 1st post down at the bottom he's created an Excel spreadsheet with all the different values. I chose the 1979 and was lucky enough to get one back in 2015 I think. You'll need the ZX base. Maybe Junkyard Jenny would have one? I was lucky enough to find one at a local junkyard. The atlanticz.ca thread shows the installation on a 280 but there's a wiring diagram on there too for the 240Z. I can't really remember but I think I run 17 degrees at idle and 34 at 3,000 RPM. Sorry for my poor memory, too many motorcycle wrecks involving my head. 😁 https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html

Naw, just realized I was venting out of bounds. 🙂 I've got a lot to spew but this isn't the place for all that spewing, I'm sorry if I offended you.

@EuroDat is the guy I'm pretty sure you're thinking of. He does some amazing things and always has great pictures to share his work.

I use a power pack. https://www.walmart.com/ip/20000-mAh-Portable-Charger-Power-Bank-Dual-USB-Battery-Pack-for-iPhone-iPad-Galaxy-Android-Pixel-and-Tablet-Black/3303493713

I'm gonna guess 1.25 Don't recall any 1.0 while I've ben fooling with Zs.

That's what we did with boats, river racing. Put spray paint marks on the inside of the highway guardrails along the river. 13 hundred and 20 feet, run what you brung was like a Bible verse I'll never forget.

My '72 had the same type, it's a York a/c. You have to pull just about all of that off to replace the fuel pump. The smaller round thing above your circle is the fuel pump.

Awe man this is a trap!

Agree with Yarb on rebuilt alternators. I make the store test them before I buy one. Been burnt before with a bad one, literally. Popped all my fuses as soon as I cranked the car. If you have a volt meter or can borrow one, check the fully charged battery without the trickle charger. Mine usually reads about 12.5 volts. Then crank the car and see what the alternator is adding, should go up to 13.5-ish. Check the alternator belt to make sure it's good and tight. I always use a broom stick or similar as a pry bar to get mine tight.

A quick google search... it's not good. EDIT: not trying to be a prick but the New Zealand girlfriend is online or in person? The email in question is sully38b@gmail.com. Sooooo if you get a message with that email or similar messages beware. I'd ask the moderators to ban PiersMorg18 (have already reached out to Valk and provided picture evidence). Sad what people have to resort to! Not today scammer, not today!

Looks cross threaded to me, and seems it should be threaded farther in if it weren't.

Clean the turkey off and cut the seats up. I used one on my boat seats years ago.

I made mine as tight as I could on the slack side, the one that curves. I pushed the tensioner in all the way and put a zip-tye on it then pushed the curved guide as tight as I could and tightened it down. For some reason I'm thinking there's a white plastic washer that goes on the tensioner between the housing and the pad but it's not visible in my picture. Maybe you can confirm that and don't forget the oil slinger that goes on the crank nose.

Have you seen this? Inside a stranger's house with my parents and I was unwinding their phone cords.😇

My new neighbors are smoking turkey legs today. I'm about to go introduce myself.
