240Z Fuel Pump Replacement
I remember removing the brackets that hold the compressor to swap out a bad fuel pump. One on the bottom and then the fan had to come off to get the top one. It was an ordeal for sure. York system lives in storage now.

Fitting a HEI Module in Transistor Ignition Unit 1977 280Z
This probably has nothing to do with your current issue but I read the bcdd removal and wanted to ask if you plugged that little hole in the front of the throttle blade?

Starter failing, battery meter pegged?
Is the smaller black wire to solenoid where the spade connector clicks on the copper blade looking terminal in good solid shape. I honestly don't know if that could hurt the solenoid but I can't see the connection so I do not know. 😁

Starter failing, battery meter pegged?
If the starter or solenoid gets hot you may have a bad ground connection. Shine up the contact surface on the cable and the block. Might help.

[2023] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Here's one that looks more like the 2023 Z. I really like these and have had good luck with Toyotas. Jeff you are my hero, well you and Guy...many more too.

[2023] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Dog's in good health just older and tired BUT the ride to the other side of my small town in the Z was so neat and funny. He sits so low in the seat all that people see is his head which is 2 eyeballs a nose and ears. He has huge ears and they were flying around like a hairless duck. 😄 It was great. I did loose a front centercap though. Crossed a few train tracks at a good rate of speed so no big deal. Can hardly wait to get him out more now the sun has set away from here. What a miserable summer we all had.

Engine rough running - at wits end
You could clamp off the return line coming out the bottom of the FPR to raise fuel pressure. That's how I found out mine was lean and then added the potentiometer to add fuel through the coolant sensor.

[2023] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Gave the Beefeaters the day off and eased out one of my crown jewels. Cranked up and ran good but all that sitting ruined another break cylinder. My dog has a doctor's appointment Thursday morning and he likes riding in this rather than my truck so I half assed cleaned it up for him.

Advice lining up MSA exhaust on a 240?
The heat shield needs some trimming too, on mine anyway. Post #21

Advice lining up MSA exhaust on a 240?
I had to trim some aluminum off the bell housing that my msa 6 to 1 header was barely rubbing on the 280 5 speed transmission. Did not on the 240 with another 5 speed just like it.

Advice lining up MSA exhaust on a 240?
I hope you won't have to add a resonator like I did. Luckily it's not too expensive if you get one in their stock. I think mine is 18" and they charged like $50 maybe? The resonator was $20 i remember that. Odd that my 2.4 did not have any odd noises, drones. They both sound great and are quite if you step lightly.

Have you tried flipping that Z shaped pipe at the rear? My outlet right before the muffler is all the way up. Your's looks lower. Good luck, you'll get it I'm positive.- Nice Beepers!

MSA has one similar if not exact but fiberglass. '70 thru '73. I would bet it's the shorter radiator. I put a 280 radiator in my '72 with a full shroud off a junkyard ZX. Works great too. I have always wanted the scarce as hen's teeth 240 belly pan. One day I'll find one for a reasonable price. https://www.thezstore.com/product/5386/radiator-shroud-70-73-240z- Smoke coming from head light switch

Here's a good one that I used. It's older PDF so you'll have to download it. It's clean I promise. 😇 repairing-240z-combination-kamikazeracing-org.pdf- Camshaft Oil Spray Bar Redesign and Rebuild
Do you have the newer version from '75 and '76? Could be worth a try.- [2023] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
Drove that little baby...2 hours, 3 gallons and no sense. Ran great after I got out of the driveway. Brakes were stuck. 63 degrees this morning. Things are looking up! (or down I guess, temp wise) I needed that drive too. It's been a miserable summer for me but a "change is gonna come".- saturday night music thread
I was at the bar getting a refill at the Flora-Bama during "Writer's Weekend" one winter back in the 90s when this guy with wrist sweatbands stood beside me and put all of us at the back bar's drinks on his tab. Now I doubt he actually paid but it was pretty neat.- 1978 280Z - Won't restart when hot, all interior gauges, fan motor, backlighting not working
You could also drive a flat screwdriver in there and gently turn it out.- Arkansas twins
