Another conundrum -- Rear License Plate Light housing
I remember somebody noticed the boxes in the hatch were probably the hubcaps. It doesn't look like the hold down hooks have been installed on the rear bumper brackets yet either. The different colored sticker in the window probably determines which US port they went to. Here's my inspiration photo, the reason I went back to graphite instead of black the dealership had done to match the spoiler. It's the same color as the scallop hubcaps according to Wick Hubble's "How to Restore" book.

'72 240Z Rebuild
It came to me set wrong. I put it on and ran it for a month like that. Quality control is left up to us I suppose.

To follow up, for mine pointing to #1 and adjustment screw centered, they equaled out at .015" on my feeler gauge.

My new remanufactured distributor is in need of adjustment according to Blue's rebuild. I don't have equal spacing between the reluctor and stator. Thanks @Blue Mine looks like this, And it should look like this, Another day, another problem. But I'm glad to get it right now instead of later and I need something easy to do and get off my back and feet, yesterday I was under the car all day. Today I have knots on my forehead! and transmission fluid in my ear.

Your avatar kills me! It looks like he's/she's waiting to pass another car.

I had to google.com that, so it's a little before my time. I don't remember any "comedy records" from my youth, we had a VCR as big as a microwave. I did like Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther though. I grew up in the 70s.

For me and my teenage buddies it was "Monty Python and the The Holy Grail". My Mom had a VHS tape of it. We spit our cookies and milk () out when he cut off the Black Night's arm. "tis but a scratch".

Fuel pump not running / not getting power
No such thing IMHO. Purple Rain had one too many Percocets though.

'72 240Z Rebuild
This is how it was when I pulled the motor. Does it look okay? I think it's at full advance but I never could wrap my head around electrical timing. It's the '79 zx with e12-80 module. @Zed Head @Captain Obvious

You are absolutely right. If I leave it open they'd fall out. Hell they'd have to learn to rappel to get in there.

I wish that was my air box! That's on down the road for me. 8^) Alright "Blind Mellow Jelly" we're thinking alike, heat riser it is. See post #316. "I want my daddies records" I'll put some screen on there just in case. Thank you Gentleman!

Confirm purpose of fast idle screw on twin SU's
I did the same when I didn't know any better!

'72 240Z Rebuild
Thank you Mr Arnett, I have an ugly hose with a 3/8s to 1/4 adapter stuck in it. That chair stopper will be much better. Here's what I'm talking about though, Here's what I think I can use if I need to. I was thinking the more air the better so just put screen wire over the opening to keep the varmints out?

Fuel pump not running / not getting power
There's one of those 4 fusible links that can cut power to them I think? Some have a cut off in the AFM when the flap is closed, others have it in the oil pressure sender. Kills the pump when you have an accident, no air or no oil pressure. Look at Blue's picture and find the other stuff for EFI. Good luck.

HLS30-01121 Gets A New Life
They're some drawings for a wooden crate floating around here that Zedyone Kenobi put up. I made one and use it all the time. The oil pan and the oil pump stay on too. the head can be stored in a bag but you must put something under it to keep from resting on the vales, there will always be two sticking down past the bottom. I've used doubled up cardboard on one and styrofoam on another, both work good. Put the rest in boxes. here's that wood crate. you'll need some casters for it so you can roll it around. And those bumper's boxes look just like the ones from Futofab that I bought, the rear is 3 piece though.

clutch kits
I bought two Exedy 6907 or something like that from amazonmcom. $100 and they're great in my opinion. Not to heavy, good street clutch.

Vinegar's a good idea. You can also use a short section of chain instead of nuts, whichever you may have. I used a brass wire wheel on a cordless drill on the outside of mine. Painted it black then did the bottom with undercoating. I wish I had used truck bed liner though, it's much tougher.

'72 240Z Rebuild
Another question while I'm recharging. What should I do with the big hole on my air filter now? It used to go to a heat riser (that's what I've always heard) off the stock exhaust manifold. Now I have a header. Should I block it off and restrict the air flow or put some type of screening over it and let it breathe? Thanks.

Confirm purpose of fast idle screw on twin SU's
I'm excited that I'll get to use that for the 20 minute run-in on the first start up after a rebuild. When I built my 280's motor I had to jimmy rig a wire on the throttle rod to maintain 2,000 rpms.
