This speaks a little on that special car, SAP.

I'd rather have ZZAPP.

Their gasket is like a compacted bunch of paper towels. They fold over when held outward. If you sprayed them with copper they may be okay but I always use Nissan when available. Their exhaust stud kit that comes with the headers are like the hardware you get with stuff from Lowes. Through away immediately. The nuts spin down the studs with my fingers. They need to be flanged clamping nuts, out of round, conical, pinch nuts, whatever you want to call them but SELF LOCKING for sure. Zcardepot has all the choices and info on his site. I bought mine from Nissan for a 4 cylinder Altima. 8mm with flange lock nuts. If MSA's will spin down so easy they will spin off that easy too eventually. People say use lockwashers, don't do that on a header. The pressure should be equal around the manifold stud.

That's a "Redneck emergency brake" aka telephone pole.

Wide OpenThrottle Boy was I wrong.

I'm hoping I can get one of these to work with my factory air in my '77 that has the old R12 compressor. The 240 had that huge York system but I've gotten rid of all of it so no more air for that car but the 280 I'm hopeful now after seeing your's. Thanks again. Cliff.

Sorry to hijack your thread, for a second I promise. You've opened a box of ideas for me, THANK YOU! My '77 may have air this summer. @S30Driver reading Freez74's thread got me looking at ebay. Would this switch work for what you and I talked about a year or so ago? https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-C-High-Side-Pressure-Switch-Santech-Industries-MT0227/402534671196?epid=115079981&hash=item5db8efa35c%3Ag%3AXvcAAOSwWc1eYDb8&fits=Year%3A1977|Model%3A280Z|Submodel%3ABase|Engine+-+Liter_Display%3A2.8L|Make%3ADatsun|Trim%3ABase+Coupe+2-Door|Engine%3A2.8L+2753CC+l6+GAS+SOHC+Naturally+Aspirated

They also say use their stud kit. I can't find a sarcasm font.

They say curiosity killed the cat. I have buried some cats! If there's something to click on I'll click it. Amazing what my dumbass has learned on these things being curious. Now I'm finally figuring out these smart phones and my 13 year old nephew laughs at me like I'm the guy that keeps pushing the elevator button. Oh yeah Zed Head. You reply to each quote as you go. Don't load up up at the end.

A lot of people delete the CSV for the problem it caused you. One less problem it seems. I live in a warm climate so it has no bearing on my 280. If I remember right it just knocks a couple of seconds off cranking anyway. You may have to turn it over twice without it? Overkill in the early EFI systems. The newer ECUs measure the ethanol content for cold start-up.

An easy way to get a guess at fuel pressure is to simply try and pinch or squeeze the hoses. The one coming off the top of the metal filter should be as hard as rock. Then go further upstream and pinch the one that feeds the CSV. The one from hardline to rubber before the injectors etc. Good luck.

A+ plan! Those two are the best money spent.

My dogs butt looks like a wad of chewing gum.

Sunroof and off chart paint. It'll be interesting what it brings. Looks good though.

Both of mine have MSAs ceramic coated 6to1 headers. I love the fit and finish plus the sound is music to my ears. They have their flange thickness down pat. too. I bought Nissan manifold studs and out of round clamp nuts. I'd read a lot of bad fitment issues with all the others. Rebello sales pacesetters but then I read they rusted out too quick. You'll be happy. But going along with the "while I'm at it" mantra you should get the 2.5" performance exhaust. Beautiful sound.

I would check the throttle plate in the throttle body. The sweeper vane under the black cover on the side of the AFM to make sure it moves freely. Then maybe the idle contact on the TPS, the other black box. How long has it been sitting?

I was about to mount mine in front of the passenger's seat after reading a lot of folks doing that but I found a good one that fit in the storage bin so that's where it lives. I'm sure you'll figure out something, they are a MUST have with carbs.

Buy it! I'll go get it and put it on a trailer or in a dumpster to be shipped to you.

That's a Fred Flintstone Z.

Will it crank and idle? Dies out when you give it gas from the pedal? Just reading the cold start valve running the car. That's a good point.

Could be the same holes?

Okay I see now. I guess my suggestion would be go a little tighter, maybe it will go away?
