I started "ripping and tearing" the emission stuff off mine. That little hose on the right of the throttle body had me stuck dead in the water. I do believe Mr Obvious saved my arse on that as he has many times. Thank you @Captain Obvious if I haven't told you lately.

Lash pads jump off rockers. It's happened to me before and I almost crapped my pants. I was a long way from home putting some miles on a fresh rebuild. Babied? babyed? carefully drove home and got it back on. Never happened again. Thanks @Jeff G 78 for helping me with that.

Some pictures of my original paint #918. Single stage buffed down to the slick then waxed. It looks different in different light. Your paint lid looks like some touch up paint I bought of the www.com. They called it "Mexican orange". Too dark in my opinion. There's a jeep color a few years ago that's the closest I've seen. @Matthew Abate is a very detail specific guy and he went through this too. Maybe he'll see this and share his experience? Now I can show off my car. Inside the detailer's shop with fluorescent and some sunshine... In my garage under LED lights... outside, only the sunshine... outside at dusk, not very sunny... Outside, just the sun after washing...

Late to the party but get one of these for the transmission side. Keeps all that stinky fluid from spilling out.

I've always heard and seen it should be to the left just a hair, and found that to be true over the years. As for the the valve gap I'm saying true TDC is equal for the front two. I don't remember the numbers but once they were the same it was at tdc on my car. So for instance and I mean JUST for instance they would measure .10 exhaust and .10 intake with feeler gauges. That's one of the few ways I was of "measure 3 times, cut once" mindset. It was winter and I was overthinking big time but it worked. My motor is nice and tight, dead on all the marks. I'm sorry if I may have caused any confusion but it all worked for me in the end. I was overthinking the whole thing and got a lot of laughs but it was fun and I entertained a few of the engineers on here. That meant a lot to me at the time. Maybe gained some respect? Actually they are too nice to call me a doo-mass so we all got a laugh. Good guys, they are, no matter what I say.

I'm constantly distorted whether I like it or not. Somedays are cheaper than others though.

Sharpen your Sharpie. Now it's Tennessee and Arkansas but you could bring it down here too.

I finally found a picture of the hose that has to plugged when deleting the EGR and warming plate, thermal switch or something like that. It's the yellow circle in my picture and from what I remember it's ported vacuum, before the butterfly. Anyhow just an FYI thing I said I'd do so here it is.

When deleted all my egr crap there was one sneaky little hose under the bcdd I didn't plug. I have it on my laptop but I'm away from home, bored and using my phone. The girl I'm with is getting pissed. Exactly what I wanted.

Don't worry about the dampener oil being too full, it'll blow out. No big deal. My clutch wasn't working when I first bought my orange 240z. It wouldn't back up my driveway. There's adjustment on the pedal and the slave cylinder that I found. Fixed the problem until I replaced everything. https://www.google.com/search?q=adjusting+240z+clutch+classiczcars.com&client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&ei=ZJFeYL-LBdrWtQaNq4DIBQ&oq=adjusting+240z+clutch+classiczcars.com&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAM6BwgeEAoQiwM6BAgeEApQjlhYx2Bg-nVoAHAAeAGAAa8BiAG8CpIBAzQuOJgBAKABAbgBAsABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

Well maybe it was 2 when posted. I'm sorry and a little tipsy. It's 2:46 am here. I'm in bed with the dog, no freckles, no beer. The bad weather went through about 6pm central. 4pm your time.

No sir. There's 4 time zones. I'm #2 from the right coast.

Yes I do. So we're saying the box is wrong? That makes good sense to me. Thank you.

I imagine I've posted this before, it's one of the all time greatest, so I apologize.

Insurance is like our boobie thread. Look but no touchy, worthless.

If a tornado hits I guess I back them out into the driveway? Then nothing happens and they get soaking wet.

We've had some bad weather all day and I'm wide awake. Lucky for me I have a low psi electric pump from my boat motor that I've used in tandem with a small Jerry gas can up front to bypass all the fuel BS and run 3.5 psi to my carbs. It ran good so I worked my way backwards. Rebuilt carbs, dropped the tank and cleaned it then coated with a fuel resistant liner Red Kote and it's been perfect ever since.

I'm just guessing but with the needle dropped all the way down you have a fuel starvation problem. Clogged lines, tank, pump the whole $^!# and caboodle. I'm not able to point one thing out but posting your problems will help the guys get it figured out sooner or later hopefully. Any details you can remember will help. It's frustrating for sure but you have to go through the crap piece by piece to get it right. Sorry but there's no breaking line on this stuff. We'll hit the problem sooner hopefully than later. Hang in there. More details will help I promise.

I agree with your selling reasoning. If you're not in a hurry I'm sure you'll find someone that will appreciate the car for all you've done and pay you a fair price. I wish you all the best in the process, hoping the buyer will to.

After thinking about it the reason I bought the Empi flow meter was that it lets you open up side air input letting it breathe without choking out the carb.

I use the "snail" for air so I'm not familiar with your thing, sorry.
