Seems as relevant today as it was in the 80s. Change some names and whatnot around but basically 2020.

What's the most needed Z part that's currently NLA?
240Z motor mounts were a pain for me. The dowel pins are all for 280Zs now.

We sell Brunswick stew and you are right, every piece of meat we have left at the end of the day goes into the stew. No squirrel meat though.

Machining cylinder head for more compression?
Or you could start straight off in #3 hole on the cam sprocket. It advances the valve train components action. Intake valves open sooner as well as exhaust valves. 8 degrees if I remember right. Read it in the Racer Brown article. I lost some top end, maybe 500 rpm but they're street cars. Red light to red light, no top speed racing around here Edit Hole #2 would be better. A happy middle. I've thought about going back one but that's it, just a thought. They pull hard from about 2,000 to 6,000 or a little more. They're loud that high and I live in fairly small town.

Neck, head who cares. Trump says "they'll follow rules and laws in my administration". Sorry about the crap shot lady but you went there, you got hit. Stay home like I did.

COVID-19
Oh my god at the idiots here in Alabama. "Idiots in Alabama "? that's an oxymoron. They won't get the vaccine for their kids or themselves. Child abuse! My mutt dog gets a Corna HP shot every year. Trumps locked Twitter 12 hours.

If you're going to count, start with 25. The 25th amendment.

These people are most likely getting a government check. Disability, unemployment or some other excuse for poor old pitiful me. Why are they not at work like we are? I just had a week off for Christmas and if I asked for another week my boss would say "take the rest of your life off". "I need you here, working."

Speaking from my past when you do not have stability in your early life you will have insecurity in your later life. Look at me! exactly. The lies you'll tell just to get that recognition. Most people change that way of thinking when the real world hits them. Some do not and I'm watching them on my television. So very sad but I'm not feeling sorry for these fools.

Talk about a Super Spreader event! You can easily spot the undercover law enforcement by their mask they're wearing. Nobody else has one on.

Tensioner sounds
I've always read 2 full turns when spinning by hand is okay, more than that and you need a new clutch. And for the knuckle draggers, some advice, use a piece of cardboard to go in and gradually try and stop it. If you can stop it you need a new one. My experience only. I'm no mechanic FWIW. If you can stop it pretty easy you need a new one, IF YOU CAN'T STOP IT ALL, you need a new one. Sorry but I forgot they do freeze up and sound like an airplane.

I'm a politician. Wait a minute! I am NOT a politician. That's more truthful.- What's the most needed Z part that's currently NLA?
Y'all are getting in the "no helment" debate for motorcycle riders. I don't want an iron in the fire but I wouldn't through my leg over a bike without a full face helmet on. Me, my personal choice. I still have shards of glass that work their way to the top of my eyebrow from a wreck in 2001 and that was a crash with Ray Bans on.- Original Areas Painted body
I'm sorry Mr Arnett, I was wrong. Imagine that! The 240s are black with no overspray, just a little rust. Mine is still 1972 except the motor and transmission. They have been reworked. 280s seem to be unpainted, zinc coating?- Exhaust smoke
The inside of the tailpipe would be all sooty if it's fuel related. Like spark plugs, check those too they will tell a lot.- Original Areas Painted body
Were the horns black then got body color over spray? That's what my early '72 looks like.- Floor Jack Question
That's my lift spot too when I'm HF jacking off. The squarish middle of the front crossmember. The low profile fits nicely under my front spoiler on my lowered car. Very light weight too. Grab it up and go, no problem. Handle pops out for going in the hatch or trunk of my Camry.- Recent from Sports Car Digest
That's like 280zforsale.com and 240zforsale.com. Opportunist jumping on anything to make some quick money. Those guys search craigslist and find cars then bug the $^!# out the original poster trying to get around craigslist internal email system that goes directly to the owner. All their listings are cross listings from other sites. They listed one of my 240s with a phone number in Michigan. Do a backwards image search on one of the cars and you'll see. Hold down S and right click. - Original Areas Painted body
