A shaved p79 on top of a flat top pistons f54 is a good build. A member on here has about five of them! They also cam from datsun spirit. Elji? No detonation problems on his with SUs. I can't understand how the skirts got broken though. The pistons taper down toward the skirts. Maybe they're ITMs and not OE Nissan? Cast vs. forged maybe? At any rate you need to find the cause or history will repeat.

I'm pulling a little DB Cooper here, sorry, but Zs-ondabrain is about to get a chunk of change from me. 8^). 240 upgrades, all I can afford!

You may get a reply from Dave by tagging @Zs-ondabrain. The search on here isn't too good and thats being polite to Mike. I use google.com and add "classiczcars.com" at the end of my query. Good luck.

Was this a motor from datsunparts.com? Seems like it was but I can't remember. You could have done a lot more damage had you not started fooling with the plugged pcv hole. So sorry or happy, I don't know what to say? At least it's in good hands now. 8^)

Fastwoman's theory was the ecu would drift out of spec over the years causing the resistance to raise or lower. So it was get a new ecu or spend $5 at Radio Shack. I chose the $5 fix. What like about mine is you get to tweak it on the fly. When I'm on the interstate I can lean it a little and get better MPGs and also lower the temp gauge. I've got mine in the passenger's floor board. Too lazy to hide it under the dash for now.

For what its worth I use Fram G2s on my 240s. They have smaller nipples.

I got a call today about a lime yellow 240 a guy needs to get rid of. Hopefully I can see it soon. I love that color and its original, no paint job. Needs struts and brakes. Perfect to me! I'll let you know with pictures. Thanks again.

You should be able to push it down off the clips then turn it it clockwise until it clicks down onto the clips. The plastic on back of the horn pad has three indentions. Start to the left of those and turn, it'll click into place. I can show you pictures tomorrow when I'm on my laptop.

Maybe I'll find something associated with you he a/c. I pulled out all of that too. Thank you Zed Head, I'll find it sooner or later. Most likely later. 8^)

I knew you had a female. 8^( All dogs are boys to me. "Here boy!" Can't help it. Cats are kittens too, no matter how old. " come here kitty kitty"

Would the white/red coming off the alternator burn that fuse? then kill my gauges? I put the radio fuse in there and the gauges started moving then back to nothing. Looked at it again, smoked. Then like a dumb a** I touched it. Know I have a blister coming up the size of a fuse on my finger. It sounded so good, I'm crying into a half of a case of beer now.

Well fooey! Everything worked and it cranked right up. Went to set fast idle at 2,000 rpm by my timing light. got in to watch the temp gauge. Nothing. None of my gauges worked. Pulled the fuse box cover and the IGN 20 amp as smoked. Shut it down. I put a new alternator on and that's all I changed electrically. I will get some new glass fuses and unhook the new alternator to see if my gauges come to life, tomorrow. I'm beat! Carbs got super warm too. I will close off that coolant circuit too and see what happens. I've got something wrong somewhere in the coolant routing. Sounded great for about five minutes!

Well Mr Zed I got it! 10 BTDC on the pulley, turned the dizzy until the reluctor's points lined up with the stator's points and voila! the rotor button pointed to #1.

You threw me off with that, it seems it's "dewg".

Pink panther strikes again! That's not my dog

Okay you got me stumped with that. Curve over the middle of the plate? I missed the exit on the bridge I guess. Sleep tight

He's a weenie dog.

This doesn't mean much after hearing about John's passing but we have to keep trudging along in this life. Ups and downs. I stopped for a new set of plugs before firing it up. Now I'll wait until in the morning.

Oh no! This is horrible news. Sad, sad. RIP Mr. Coffey.

I'm pretty sure @Blue found that video a few years ago. I sure do miss the stuff he put up for us to see, always a good sense of humor.

A stretched Vespa! That's cool.

I peeled a piece of red-kote out of the first can I bought for my 280, about 4 years ago. It stays pliable and I dropped it into a jar of gas for a week or so, no change no pink gas either. I think the trick is to let it cure for a couple of weeks. People get in a hurry and put fuel in the tank too soon.

I sure am sorry to hear about your health issues. Fortunately they have come so far with treatment now you have a good chance of beating it, my next door neighbor did with something called "proton therapy" at MD Anderson in Texas. Best of luck. I personally wouldn't spend another dime on your Z, $9,000 is a lot already for a 280. If it was a 240, maybe you'd get your money back. Again, best of luck.

You can get a new sender and o-ring from Nissan for about $50 then lay it beside the old one and get the arm bent the same. Then cut all that crap off the old one and use it to seal the hole. Sender part #25060-E4100, $42. O-ring #17342-18000, $1.50 My old one. See the crud line? The new one,
