Overheating & EGR Delete
I sure wish there was! I read for hours before I figured mine out but it was worth it. Maybe the block off plate and gasket? But there's a lot more to it than that if you do the hole $^!# and kaboodle.

E-31 Milling Questions
My e31 had steel seats installed and my guy said they were common size, the Chrysler Hemi uses the same size. Mallory is the brand. It's not expensive to do so I would say do it while you're at that stage.

Stolen Z?
I'm in the "if they want..." group. Repo guys can get anyting. So with their knowledge and equipment anybodies stuff is steal-able. To add, my car lives in a garage and is never left alone at car shows, isn't parked as a normal car. My Camry is my DD. The only thing more important is my dog.

Putting in a replacement L-28
Yeah, look at our millitary, they'll take anybody over 18 and pass a physical. I do beleive in the 10% theory but the other 90% seems to set us up for failure.

Headers and an N42 intake off a '75 or '76. Pre EGR.

Putting in a replacement L-28
I agree with you on the free money for the young folks but I've had about 25% taken out of my pay for over 30 years. I pay for public education but haven't any kids. My next door neighbors home school their kids and get some kind of tax refund. I do not get that refund money even though I have no kids. Life sucks then we die they say. Bring it on!

240z 1973 Valve adjustment if my car has a non-stock cam
My Schneider. 460 lift which is considered a "stage 3" on MSA's website has the same cold adjustment numbers as factory specs, intake .008 and exhaust. 010.

Getting the 73 Back on the Road
Okay I'm a pervert, I'll admit that but I apologize for going to the dark side after reading the above. Would someone please agree with me? Steve is my hero and I don't wish to upset him.

Boy oh boy! That's NSFW (almost). I must congratulate you on walking the wire, tip toeing around there. Excellent job Steve!

1975 fuel rail
That's absolutely true. My fuel rail is cool to the touch. I consider it an open system. I used a '78 fpr with one in and one out. It constantly flows fuel.

Pulling L28 engine
I'll add don't overthink or get intimidated, just get a good plan after researching the previous posts. It's really easy. I did my 1st one by myself after reading this book. It's the Z Bible if you ask me. https://www.amazon.com/Rebuild-Nissan-Datsun-Engine-Publisher/dp/B004X9A0OA

Pulling L28 engine
Set some time aside and read. It's been gone over many times and you will learn the tricks/shortcuts. Very easy with the right preparations. https://www.google.com/search?q=280z+engine+removal+classiczcars.com+&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=WpdPYdLgGsKygge18KiwCQ&oq=280z+engine+removal+classiczcars.com+&gs_lcp=ChFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocBADMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKsCMgUIIRCrAjIFCCEQqwI6AggpOgUIKRCgAToECCkQRzoFCCkQgAQ6BwgpEAoQoAE6BggpEBYQHjoECCkQCjoNCCkQxwEQrwEQDRCTAjoOCAAQ6gIQjwEQjAMQ5QI6BQgAEIAEOgsILhCABBCxAxCDAToICC4QgAQQsQM6DgguEIAEELEDEMcBENEDOgsILhCxAxDHARCjAjoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6CAgAEIAEELEDOgsILhCABBCxAxCTAjoLCC4QgAQQxwEQrwE6BQgAELEDOggIABCxAxCDAToICAAQgAQQyQM6BQgAEJIDOgQIABANOgcIABDJAxANOgYIABAWEB46CAghEBYQHRAeOgUIABCGA1CULljI3AFg0OcBaAJwAHgAgAHFAYgBwx2SAQQwLjI2mAEAoAEBsAEe&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp

Random Misfire while cruising
Yes, pretty much narrows it down to the rear carburetor. I'm not sure if the SUs have an idle circuit but that's what it sounds like.

Radiator support panel
A quick google, I was looking for Tabco but they don't have anything.

COVID-19
Those dopes that have TV shows for living in Alaska need a little covid. That's what I consider ironic. They go off grid and then have a production crew around all the time.

Triple carbs for stroker motor
I've used futofab for parts simply because of the shipping prices. I live closer to the East coast so he saves me a good bit. But he has been very helpful as far as a gentleman that owns a business. I give him 5 stars! Would buy from him again.

New job for me!
There's 3 kinds of jobs in my experience. 1. Wash your after the restroom. 2. Wash your hands before the restroom. 3. Wash before AND after. I've always washed mine beforehand. That's because I hated school and wound up working in the service businesses. I'm a hands on type guy that gets a good feeling helping those that can't help themselves. The pay sucks but money has never been a priority in my life. My parents always gave me a good life and i loved them for that. I'm so thankful for you guys positive comments on my ife decision to go to less stress/less money. I do not care about money. I want to sleep good.

New job for me!
I've got a few more years before I can retire so I figure I'll make them the best I can. I didn't really want to post about something so personal but now I'm glad I did. All the positive replies from you guys have really made me feel good about my decision. Thank you all so very much! I don't like change but y'alls support has made a huge impact on me and my decision. What a great group of friends I have here! I only hope my contributions are helpful to someone. 1 person at least and I sleep good tonight.
