Milo's is good stuff but I don't drink much tea, too sweet for me. I'd rather have a V-8. I haven't been out of Gadsden in over a year now. Safer at home but a nice thick slice of Extra Special sure would be good! And a pitcher or two of beer.

Well the Sweet'n Low has finally give me the Alzheimers. My original '72 240 has loop carpet but the original '77 280 is cut pile. Maybe 70 thru 73 is loop and the rest was cut? Sorry. I had to walk downstairs to look.

https://www.accmats.com/ That's their website but you can buy way cheaper, about half their price buying from one of their vendors. rockauto.com is where I would buy but their carpets are all over Ebay too. Go to the website and get the kit number after you decide what you want then google that number + auto carpet and see what pops up. rockauto.com is quicker though. Lots of choices to consider. If I remember right the 70 thru 78 have loop originally but then they went to cut pile on the ZX.

I think if you read this you may understand what we're saying. You should pull the dizzy out and see where the spindle is sitting. Get the motor at tdc, explained in this thread, then pull the distributor. It could be something simple but the only way to find out is get out there and try to figure it out yourself. We'll help all we can but there's no shortcuts looking at a screen. When you're at tdc and then remove the distributor this is what you should see...

I accidentally set mine a little higher than my 23mm mark. That was 6 years ago and they've been great. Context... Rude marking using my phone. Red is 23mm scratch, yellow is where the valve closes.

13 weeks for you.

Sorry if I've double dipped but this is a cool song.

Yes! It looks like a left shoe on a right foot.

Here's a good one. It's not as easy as you think.

It's the distributor you'll need to get right. So many threads on installing correctly. https://www.google.com/search?q=installing+distrbutor+classiczcars.com&rls=ig&source=hp&ei=BBm9YNbAC-eIggeL0J_QCA&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAYL0nFHXZ6Zx3XvGF89vN8D9oyTk1nKMX&oq=installing+distrbutor+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAw6BQgAEJECOgQILhBDOggIABCxAxCDAToICC4QxwEQowI6BQgAELEDOgsILhCxAxDHARCjAjoCCAA6BAgAEEM6CwguELEDEIMBEJECOggILhCxAxCDAToHCC4QsQMQQzoHCAAQsQMQQzoKCAAQsQMQyQMQQzoICAAQsQMQyQM6CAguEMcBEK8BOgoIABCxAxBGEPkBOgcIABBGEPkBOgYIABAWEB46CgghEAoQoAEQiwM6BAgAEA06BggAEA0QHjoHCCEQChCgAToHCCEQChCrAjoFCCEQoAFQ8RlYwI4CYJaZA2gAcAB4AIABvgKIAZ0ykgEJMjQuMzIuMC4xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpergBAg&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjW0uC31oPxAhVnhOAKHQvoB4oQ4dUDCA0

Can American banks cash reparation checks from China? I need a sheet of plywood. "In addition, all nations should work together to present China for a bill of minimum USD 10 trillion to compensate for the damage they have caused and that is a very low number, the damage is far far greater. As a first step, all countries should collectively cancel any debt that they owe to China as a downpayment on reparations," he said at the convention.

Your vacuum advance module is at 4:00 o'clock and every Z I've seen has their's at 6:00 o'clock. I think your distributor was installed wrong, maybe the reason for the wires being all fouled up? People move wires around to get one to run when the distributor is off. Could be what the previous owner was trying to do. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/8.jpg

Shouldn't you have a rotor button? #1 mark on the cap Rotor button

When I was young my Dad rebuilt my '76 280. He was a Chevy man. Car wouldn't fire up and it drove him crazy. Finally asked a friend mechanic and as the firing order is the same Chevy's distributors turn clockwise. Ours turn counter clockwise. He came home, changed the wires around and it cranked right up. #1 plug wire isn't long enough to reach the firewall with my NGKs. Maybe they numbered themselves?

Some love for @sweatybettyfor starting this. It's the best way for me to understand/communicate with people now. "Heard it in a love song".

I've always thought it was to lessen a rough and shaky steering wheel, a shock absorber, plus a quicker way to remove the steering rod.

Have you read this? https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tps/index.html

A couple of suggestions you may already know but they helped me over the years. Our motors are not straight up in the engine bay, slight tilt to the passenger's side. If you mark the center of the cam towers and use that as your up reference it'll be more precise. Also you can get two to come up at a time so that helps speed things up when you do them hot. They're spread out though so I started making a mark off list on a piece of a case box for something like beer. Anyhow write it out and place it under the passenger's wiper blade and X them off as you do them. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Cold setting on top and the hot is the bottom one. It may help since you say the clicking is better after your second adjustment. Good luck with it, that ticking sound drive's me nuts.

I think you should make it clear to the carpet supplier you have the early 1977 with the sloped up rear deck. After some time I am not positive all 1977s have that. Send an email or a phone call to be sure. Sorry for any confusion.

Yes, you have a '77 and that rear hatch carpet piece would be different versus a 1976 rear carpet. The '76 would be too short for the slope up.

I have a 9/76 build date and it's considered a 1977. Has the sloped up rear deck with a space saver spare tire, collapsed with the a can of air. N47 cylinder head stamp on top of an N42 block. VIN# 355,834

I can't wait on erectile dysfunction, where it's always 5 oclock.

No color code sticker on the radiator support or a door jamb ID plate the only way I know of is to search the vin registry for a number close to yours. Thanks to @Carl Beck http://www.zhome.com/
