Same here, different layout but the info's still the same and is working fine for me. FWIW

Bad news Palmetto bug. It must have gotten thrown out during a spring clean up. I think I remember telling the guy at the recycle place it was off a 40 something year old car. Sorry, I kept it for a few years and got crazy one day and threw a bunch of stuff in my truck and hauled it off. Here's all I have, 240mm 225mm and aluminum 225mm.

Okay I'm aware of my mistakes now. Left is off my 72 I'm rebuilding now Right is off a ZX motor I tore apart. I hope that round thing with the starter gear around it is in my storage building. I'm working this a.m and hadn't looked yet. Also thinking back the auto has a half of a separating plate, no?

Wow, that's nice! True Z porn. Those pictures and a tub of axle grease, I'll be right back...

I have found you a flexplate and I never throw stuff away so I'm hoping the flywheel's in my storage building. I can try and check today. I would try and shim your starter (if it's the right one) like Montana Z suggest, that'd be easy to do. I'll let you know how the search goes later today. Not sure about Dot 3 fluid not working, that's all they had back when the car was new? If it's dark and greenish looking, you should try and push all the old out until you see the new clear fluid. Rear passenger's bleeder is the furthermost from the master cylinder. Automatic plate is on the left, I believe?!?

I bought a '73 motor with an automatic flywheel and flexplate. I'll see if I can find it today and report back. You can have both items, if I can find them.

I danced all around your question! sorry. Read this thread and see what you think about rebuilding on the car, I don't think it's possible but I didn't think I's gonna get that old pump off with all the crap in the way. http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50679-rebuilding-the-nikki-fuel-pump/ If it's been sitting and you just want to start it I'd slap a cheap electric pump on there and plug off the in and out of the mechanical pump, those left open might create a vacuum leak.

My car has the same A/C, Yorx I believe. I replaced my pump and it was a huge pain. Alternator is in the way of that bracket that holds the compressor. It's a big job, be careful not to break your inspection light, take it loose and lay it off to the side. Here's mine when I first bought it, the A/C is gone now.

A can of air duster for cleaning computers will work, walmart or office max.

I may be waaaay off on this, but I used to buy used parts from P.A.P in Atlanta. Porsche Audi Parts is what it stood for. That was 20 years ago and he had tons of crashed sports cars.

Very nice!

Mine has an A11-600-000, built in 9/'76. I've read that if it has the green sticker it'll swap out, not for sure on that though just from reading when i was having problems a few years ago.

Your Schneider cam comes with a "cam card" that shows the valves clearance recommendations. FWIW

I cleaned my engine bay with Simple Green. I had my air line in one hand and a Scotch Brite cleaning sponge in the other. Never thought about spraying water dissipating WD-40 on the electrical. That's a great idea Bart! I wouldn't spray in there with a high pressure wand like with a pressure washer or a spray car wash.

Okay, he's talking about the steel eighth inch plate. Not the aluminium mount. Maybe zcarsorce Com or zcardepot.com will have one. I beleive the points distributor with the small cap was different than the newer ones. I wonder if a Maxima at a junk yard could be a source? There's a few more of them than Zs.

Yeah I shouldn't have even brought the AAR in the conversation. You can just plug the hoses and bypass it. Not a reason for stalling out. My bad.

Maybe it's something in your cold starting system? Cold start valve or the auxiliary air regulator? Nissan rerouted the hoses for the AAR in '78 I think, so the oily vapor from the valve cover wasn't going into the AAR. They put the hose from the accordian boot to the AAR, cleaner air.

I would definitely get a quote for repairs on a 40 year old car before the adjuster cuts you a check. He probably wasn't born when your car was built.

Good call. It looks like brown caulk to me.

Dang Jai, you just can't catch a break! So sorry to hear but I can top that by miles, the love of my life passed away Tuesday on the operating table. She had cancerous tumors and internal bleeding once they opened her up. I'd give my three Zs for my dog back. Life is tough, but we trudge along anyway. My days are getting better and better and I'm sure your's will too. Enjoy the small things and drink lots of alcohol. Kidding (not really)

Good news, for a change.

You're the best!

The whole kit is very reasonably priced to me. I just hope it comes with instructions!

FANTASTIC! I wanted to mount the big I have somehow but others talked me out of it. Now you have helped me again, I didn't know they made those.Which port did you use? I've plugged all of mine except for the brake booster. And I've already tapped them to NPT threads. Thank you, I love gauges!
