They had to add the back windows when they came out with 100s.

Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
Ask about the curing time for the Red-Kote. I've done two and both needed about a week baking in the sun. The directions say to not put fuel in until you no longer smell the liner's chemically smell. They may have a way to bake it though? The car looks great!

Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
And they are way easier to change than the rear wheel cylinders. Price is about the same too. It'd be cool if you could spend a few dollars and get it road worthy, drive it and hopefully keep it but sell it with the neat story and one owner car if you decided to sale. How about some pictures?

Closely follow the prescription, "take 4 to 6 every one hour". I'm a little dyslexic.

What tires to get tall & big NO RUBBING
I was told 205/60 were the largest without issues rubbing. That's what I have. You could plug 205/50s in the calculator and see what it says. I'll get those next time around if they'll work. Go to MSAs website and look at the 15/7 Konig rewinds, scroll down to tire size and see what they say. I believe that's I went by?

Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
Here's a cheap way to see if your tank is rusty. They are around $3. Also tank cleaning thanks to @240260280. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm Here's the whole enchilada, very helpful too. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/

Head ID?
That small mound around the plug looks a lot like my E31. My early E88 has a more pronounced hump but that could easily be ground down. I think you are right. Nice looking head in my opinion. Grinding the code off could also be a clue. Someone trying to pass an E88 as an E31?

73 240z fuel starved with mechanical flooded with electric pump
Mine runs great with the mechanical pump only, 2 round top SUs. Yours should too after you get the floats back to normal. It's hard to imagine a high pressure Holley on my 240. Fuel would be leaking out everywhere. I had the Blue ones for my boat motor, set at 3.5psi. They were fantastic pumps, noisy as hell but I knew it was running.

'73 automatic for $3,200. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/224104808219824/ $3,200 Driven 48,565 miles Automatic transmission Mechanically sound, ready to drive or for someone to finish restoration. This car has been in the family since 1984. It was reupholstered, painted and in cherry condition in 1987. Poor thing sat for 20yrs here in Central Oregon before coming to me in 2007. I won’t get into the time and money I’ve scraped together in order to get it where it is, but I’m done and hoping to find an enthusiast to take over.- Stalling issue(under throttle)
Try clamping the return line and see if it stays at something constant.- Air dam
I like the urethane too. Much cheaper here and free shipping. https://www.jegs.com/p/Xenon/Xenon-Front-Air-Dams/2971003/10002/-1- PSA Rear strut insulator
Me too Dave WM. I never liked the way it sits when you let it down off the jack, kind of "bow legged" looking to me. Thank goodness I can use drive up ramps now for just changing the oil. My car is hopefully done now at least for my monthly drive. Low bar.- 76 Datsun 280z throttle sticking
That's what caused my hanging high RPM. Cleaned the throat with lacquer thinner and an old toothbrush then rerouted the PCV hoses like the '78s. Works good now.- Ressurecting my grandfather’s 280z
I would replace the fuel filter up front, behind the radiator on the passenger's side. There about $10 or so from a chain store.- 240Z intake cooling delete
That's one of those questions without a definitive answer. I have mine plugged and can not tell any difference. It's very hot here so I don't need the heat that builds up. Here's a good idea from 240260280 on running a hardline around the front of the head to the pump intake. 280s have that line if you want to go that way, I'm sure you could find one.

Be sure and get one like 7tooZ has. I messed up and got a frosted looking one at a local parts chain store, it sucks too just to lazy to change it out plus I'm scared I'll break the light fixture.- Fuel problems? Spark?
Did you plug the one under the throttle body that comes off the EGR or BPT, I can't remember which but it's the one circled in yellow in this photo. Here's a good picture of the connections on a "77.
