Burned up some older fuel this morning. Refilled with fresh at a busy gas station/McDonald's and had 3 experts tell me what my car was worth. Small town stuff. Get a quart of oil and a Quarter Pounder in one place. Also free Z appraisals. ? Dicks

Maybe a Flood Car...

Nice! This one qualifies for the "Zs only a mother could love". It also has that "Kardashian Wide Body Kit".

I'm happy for him if that helps. ?

Looks a George Barris car. ?

Distributor advance curves S30-S130.xls Look at this, should help.

I beat you finally CO! My typing is faster versus your flip phone.

My bad! I didn't catch that, I was watching Fast Times and The Breakfast Club...

Nuke it from obit? That's funny Kim Jong.

Spraying carb cleaner on there is also a good way to clean one. I soaked mine in lacquer thinner for a few days then hit it with 120psi air gun. Theeeeeen OCD'd the spray holes with 4 penny finish nail. You should also go with a high flow oil pump from a turbo ZX if you really want to soak the valve train.

Agree with Jonathan, newer is better. I made a mistake above, my '72 came with the Phillips head screw type. It has a newer style that I pulled off a junkyard '75 280Z now. And when you put it back on I would suggest making gaskets for the oiler cam towers. I used some gasket material and tapped it out around the cam tower's opening. I have some old cam towers that I used. @Mark Maras used an old cereal box for his with good results. The ones from the factory are like paper. Another suggestion is to use Loctite thread locker on the small bolts that hold the spray bar on.

Your top one is what's on my 2/72. Bottom is what was on my 9/76. The one with Phillips screws is earlier.

They rerouted that in '78 to keep the oil from stickying up the throttle plate.

You should be able to buy one from a member here. I may have an extra but I'll need to put my hands on it. Two different styles, the early ones have the big phillips head screws. I'm guessing yours does not. Good thing you caught that. Could've been a disaster.

Someone bought one from here not long ago. https://zcarsource.com/distributor-mounting-block

The tool bins behind the seats are the best preserved original paint on mine. Maybe yours are still 918?

'70s cars should wear bellbottoms and stack shoes. Colors should be appropriate also. I like #112 yellow green too. Thanks @Carl Beck http://zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/index.html

You mean this isn't yours? Or your daughter, my future wife?

No kidding! I have a few baby teeth at my Mom's house she might let me offer.

My something learned today, thanks to @240260280. I can go to bed now. Penultimate... pe·nul·ti·mate /pəˈnəltəmət/ adjective last but one in a series of things; second last. "the penultimate chapter of the book"

I tried my Nissan parts guy for some new floats, p/n 16061-E4310, big ole "nada" as in nada available anymore. I'd read this before and he also said the same. The floats are made of some lightweight fuel resistant foam and are solid so they can't absorb fuel. He suggested sanding them and carefully bending things back into shape. I wanted new floats to go with my new Grose valves.

I just had mine cut down and waxed. It looks different to me every other day. I know this doesn't help you but it does me.

Check msa's ceramic coated header and the 2.5 premium exhaust. Seems like it was around $500 on Black Friday. Take those savings and buy some nice wheels and tires.
