Yeah I've got neighbors but they leave me alone and I leave them alone. I want to try again before giving up on this vacuum pump. The cup's lid isn't holding vacuum, undersized o-ring that came with it is the problem but buying a single 2" o-ring around here is damn near impossible. I have a plan though.

A little of both. Never really did a good job bleeding the clutch when I did all the work to it years ago. Now I bought this POS Harbor Freight 1 man pump and the weather is finally tolerable enough to get out of the A/C and do some things. The dog can only walk so much, he's getting old.

Should I depress the clutch pedal as a way of opening the slave to pull fluid through with a vacuum pump? I couldn't get anything yesterday but a huge mess, got mad and walked away. I'm not doing something right. Thanks for any help. Cliff

What about the FPR? Good hoses and clamped off tight? Can those be tested? I bought a new one from '78 to work with my diy fuel rail. Needed only one in and my '77 had 2.

I bought walnut shell for less than glass bead at Harbor Freight. Sand is cheap but it's harsh. Best of luck, you're doing great work.

Your work looks great today. Thank you!

You are right, it really does.

Maybe? People use an early 90s Honda blower motor as an upgrade. Google around and you'll find the thread.

Some people are so nit-picky! Weirdos

In a pinch I used a quarter and some tape on the clutch pedal for my '87 D21. That was in 2006, haven't had to touch it since. 😁

Wonder what he replaced that he had to remove that bracket with the oil sender and alarm? New looking wire loom. 🙃

Yes there is a trick in Tom Monroe's book that has worked for me. I posted pictures that I took of the text in the book. They're in this thread. Hope it helps.

Try running it without the air filter.

You could also pour some fuel straight into the float bowls through the overflow bungs.

Did you blowout the drain on the passenger's side of the wiper cowl?

Worm clamps on heater hose most likely. You can get FI hose and solid clamps at chain parts stores. That's what I used in 2012. Still going strong.

The new Nissan sending unit I put in my 240 is 5 gallons sitting on empty. I was in such a hurry to get away from the fuel tank and all the mess involved I forgot to compare it to the original and bend the rod to match. Oh well...5 gallon reserve when it hits empty.

Hahhah...ive got an e88 that's says 'NISIN'.

Prove him wrong. Still waiting on the coolant temperature, thermostat open idling in you garage.

My OE fuel pump had that pinkish looking stuff on the 2 electrical connections.

Look through these photos of the 355 mile 280 on Bring a Trailer. @Zed Head taught me the car is great for reference. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-datsun-280z-39/

From what I remember the pins are made so close to the inside of the float bowls that there wasn't any side play. Is that what you're talking about?

I put my carbs on after a rebuild but had the linkage "flats" out of order. It shot up to 2500rpm, scared me. Once I got those figured out after looking at a lot of pictures and diagrams I used Blues Quick and Dirty tune for the initial run in then more specific with the air flow tool. Hopefully you get something useful out of this.
