Hooking up a vacuum gauge is somthing else that helps find problem. You can get them at chain stores with loaner programs for free.

My Dad always preached to not put old parts you can afford to replace back on the car.
Lots of exceptions to that statement but you all know what I'm saying.

If the mechanical timing sprocket is on hole #3 it won't rev up very good at the top. I set mine on #3 after I rebuilt the motor with new parts. That advances the the explosion somewhat. I run full advance with the ZX distributor on my '72 240. I think it's 17 at idle and 34 degrees at 3,000 rpms.
But it won't go much over 6,200 rpms on the street.
Why are you reving it to max sitting still? That's completely nuts. No wonder you are constantly complaining.
NO OFFENSE INTENDED
It's your car, do what you want.

You know that 3 and 4 have their own individual runners so I'm wondering if there's anything resulting from that? Maybe try snugging up the intake bolts? look for soot around the runners.
Try accepting what the mechanic tells you instead of what you're reading on the www.com. He knows more than you, live with it and do what he suggest.

My .02 cents on new alternators. Have it tested before you leave the parts store. I bought one and it blew the glass fuses, maybe not all of them but the car wouldn't crank and my gauges went limp. Ask the guys on here and found out it was "back charging"? Guys at the store were cocky but got alot nicer after it failed their test. Learned something new that day. 🙃

5 minutes ago, Zed Head said: Good old Blue wrote up a thing about them. The magnetic pickup can fail, there's a test for that. The air gap can be off
😇Good ole Blue! I miss that rascal.

Fiberglass 240Z bumpers
in For Sale
I fell off the spring cleaning bandwagon pretty quick but I will get some pictures today and post them. Maybe, with some help from the forum I can come up with a price. It's not OE anymore, bigger valve seats and an attempt at some minor porting. Came with a 240 I bought years ago as part of a hopped up 2.8 engine build.
