You can clamp the fuel line to the csv. Little bitty cigars? I've seen people smoking those in rap vidyos.

That looks promising in my opinion. $5.50 you can't go wrong! If you get good results with that you'll have done a great favor to us all. Please update if you try it.

Looks like a set of plug wires and who knows the boxy looking thing. I thought it was an aluminum radiator.

Late to the welcoming but glad you found us. Great car too! It's got that monstrous Yorx a/c mine had. They are right in the way of everything. Mine's in a box in storage with the other OE stuff I've removed.

I'm very sorry to say that was done by the guy I bought the car from and he told me about using that stuff. I'm thinking he called it poly butyl for windows but I'm not 100%. Been awhile back, sorry. Maybe someone will chime in that might know. Cliff

There's a small arrow on those filters that shows flow direction. Point it to the pump. Let me see if I can do this...yep! Learning this phone. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm

Here's the best I could find of the cracked dash repair with low sheen elastomeric sealant. I was thinking it was for sealing commercial glass but after googling it i saw where it's for masonry also. The cracks were above the 3 gauges in the middle.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I must. Is your cold start valve out of the picture?

This fire extinguisher fits perfect in the passenger's bin. It's metal and rechargeable. https://www.lowes.com/pd/first-alert-fire-extinguisher-rechargeable/3057083?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-rpe-_-google-_-lia-_-173-_-smoke-_-3057083-_-0&kpid&store_code=1640&k_clickID=go_625853472_42756562215_195658873186_aud-305162224742:pla-314310822465_c_9012730&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu9uyq5ju4QIVGovICh149w2JEAQYASABEgLWw_D_BwE

- gas tank vent line question
Is it carburetors or efi? I know a good informative thread on carb vent lines it's long but has good info and pics.- Calling all engineers
@madkaw is an engineer. Maybe he can help.- Oil filter adapter removal
Don't even tell them the car right off, just run the part number. The youngsters like to argue what your asking for. My experience locally. Next day pick up if they have one close by usually.- 1976 280z engine runs rough then dies, will not idle.
so you actually got the "chicken dinner".- tail lights not working on 75 280Z
You can take a 4 penny finish nail and push the center pins out of those rivets and get the rivet out plus reuse it. You have to find the pin though and that can be tough. Nissan still sales those and there's some good alternatives on ebay.- My Mecum Purchase - 1972 240Z
I had one that the PO had filled in with a low gloss black elastomeric caulk. Like you use to seal commercial windows. It looked pretty darn good to me. I'll try and find a picture when I get my laptop out.- seat spacers
maybe this one, I can't remember if mine reclines or I turn a knob? If it is it looks like p/n 4. https://www.ebay.com/i/273616919573?chn=ps http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/body-240z/seat-slide/type-1-adjuster-seat - gas tank vent line question
