Rating the factory 240Z fuel vent hoses
Would it be easier to push the hoses through their grommets then hook them to the fuel tank 1st. Snug the fuel tank up, then attach the hoses to the vent tank? I'm trying to work out a plan in my head and that's the best way I can figure out??? Thanks for any past experiences.

My new rod is bent just as the old one is. Hopefully it'll be close. Now back to the shoes. I'm no Imelda Marcos but my foot's been size 10 since I was 14, so I have about 50 pairs of shoes and boots, no kidding. Good shoes last a lifetime! My girl friends get a big kick out of my shoe closet. And Thorlo socks, ONLY, they're the best made.

You're right, I ordered one too. $1.54 You'd make a good FBI Agent, take in everything not just the obvious. Mine are Sanuks though, Sanuk Vagabond Brown - Zappos.com Free Shipping BOTH Ways- Developing story...
How old can this thing be? it looks like it was made and packaged yesterday. Came from Irving, TX Nissan warehouse. $40 at my Nissan dealer, got it in 2 days.- Yes, another noob "Should I buy" thread... help appreciated!
I've always looked for cracking where the hatch's top line comes down to the side window. It's where the strength and rigidity of the body design comes together with a weld and smoothed with some type of body filler. A friend of mine a looong time ago cut the top out of a '75 his Dad gave him. It started "folding up" and he had to have reinforcement welded along the bottom side. Dummy used angle iron and it would get stuck on speed bumps. It's kind of like an eggshell, when you take part of it away you loose the strength of the whole. If it's inspected and has been insured it probably is OK. I'd do some research on it, talk to the shop that did the top and make sure the guys being truthful. My $.02 only.- Building A L28 (Na)

It may be your coil? Mine was low and I could shake it to hear the sloshing of oil.- Modern injectors, new fuel rail - no heat soak problem
When I had my 1st problems with a Z back in the late eighties everybody told me I needed the "280 Lady". This guy had a huge junkyard he started when he came back from some war, Vietnam or Korea I'm not sure but his daughter grew up around cars and used the Zs he bought like go-karts. She's forgotten more than I'll ever learn I'm sure. Her Dad passed away and now she drives a 350Z, no heat soak issues with that. Now her and her siblings are selling off everything for scrap and trying to sale the land for a county landfill, it's about 75 acres of oil and anti-freeze soaked ground. What Zs are left have been robbed of good parts already and nothing older than 280s with N47 heads. And there's an Alabama girl on hybridz with a V8 swapped car she drag races.- Car stops pulling at 2500 RPM
I went through pretty much the same with a 240 I bought a month or so ago. I replaced the distributor and coil with the newer ZX's electronic ignition. It let it go past the 2500 rpm stall, under a load, it would rev up fine sitting in the garage. If you want to rule out fuel starvation, secure a gas jug in front of the radiator. Drill 2 holes in the top and run your fuel lines into the jug, supply and return. I put a shop towel around them then taped it up real good and went for a drive. Still wouldn't go past 2500 on the road. get one of these too, https://www.google.com/search?q=clear+glass+fuel+filter&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=kgOgU5fDGIqeqAaskoGABg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1280&bih=620 I put one before the fuel pump and it would cloud up like a glass of tea but the bigger plastic filter caught the crap 1st. Now I'm in the middle of cleaning the tank and replacing fuel lines. Look at these photos, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/funnybone/52471-developing-story.html- removing stuck rotor

So you're saying the wider spray out of the FJ707Ts is good? I hope so! That's what I bought because of price only, no research.- Developing story...
Question for you guys. Hopefully the baffle in the tank is only welded on the very bottom section? It steps down a couple of times before the actual lowest section so fuel can get around the sides, I'm hoping! Thanks, Cliff- Developing story...
I've got a step by step of my on that works pretty good, about four 5 gal. buckets and write down my next steps on a pad so as not to panick. And the 240 tanks are a hole lot easier (smaller) to slosh around. $30 for the Red-Kote liner, $20 for the muratic acid and acetone, gallon of each.- Where can i order this part? Black Dragon?

...like many beloved racers my luck has hit the wall. Fuel gauge wasn't working on this car I bought a few weeks ago so I pulled the sending unit.

I tried taking mine off and it leaves red and green wires exposed as well as the bracket and two threaded holes, not to happy with it like that and I may take the ZX dizzy out to put in my other 240. It does way better than the points type they have, not so much on the 280. If it's not raining this Saturday I'll go to the JY and get you one. I need to find a injector fan switch for Andrew aka Zcurves too. I'm wearing long pants and shirt soaked in Deet. I'll send you a PM for your address if I'm holding one.
