  1. So I could do this and pull the cord from underneath, right? That's a great idea. I've broken one when I was younger and it was an ordeal from what I remember. Thanks Chris.
  2. They'll relax alright, anxious to lay down too like me You have some Alabama air in your shop now! That place is about 30 minute drive from my house, Anniston, Alabama.
  3. I be damned if I'd told that!
  4. If zcardepot doesn't have stock check futofab.com. that's where mine came from. From what I've read they're from the same supplier? Mine had VIETNAM on the boxes. Very happy with them too, OE bumpers are in storage for the next babysitter.
  5. My '72 has those wires going over the top of the holes which brings it about 2 inches farther away from the road, there's a pretty wide gap between the chin spoiler and the front clip. The curiosity was killing me! Did you have enough grommets for the rear panel the fuel vents go through to the emissions tank?
  6. Alcatraz Swimming Team I sure do like my #918. It's like the #110 I had for awhile, the lighting is the main determination, red, orange?
  7. You could also check were the cable attaches to the transmission.
  8. You should see fresh scratch marks somewhere if it's making that sort of sound. I went from aluminum to steel with no issues that I remember I've always put the shoes in the adjusters slots, put the spring on then press them flat against hubs. Then put those pins in.
  9. 1997 c35 laurel club s Just a wild guess.
  10. So instead of guns I can run leaf blowers, weedeaters and chainsaws to the west without much penalty. I can stay with you when I do a run? ❤
  11. If they're stock like injectors you should consider using the clips. They have held mine in place since I replaced those plugs in 2011. Bought from a popular Ebay guy that had Bosch rebuild kits.
  12. They'll have to pry this new one from my cold, callous coverd dead hands.
  13. Used my 240 as a backdrop for a new toy I bought. A real brand new 2 cycle Stihl weedeater. No valves! Weighs half as much and revs to the sky. Very happy with new old technology.
  14. My '77 has those door guards and dealer chrome mud flaps. Hate them! Looks like a clown car at the Christmas parade.
  15. Most folks just leave the valve cover gasket dry without any type sealant for the off and on you'll be pulling it, until you get it right then just once a year or so to check valve lash. I run those cover bolts down with an electric drill set to the lowest possible strength setting, that's always tight enough for mine. No leaks. Have you read about using ant-seize thread lube on everthing? It helps.
  16. I dropped and refurbished my 1st tank on the '77 I still have. Honestly it was a waste of time and a little money, the car didn't run any better. At the end of the very "long day" it was the coolant temp sensor resistance to the ECU. It could be your fuel pump? Now the '72 240Z I bought was a whole different story. That tank was like a porta-john's tank minus the big breath mints. This isn't rust, wouldn't stick to a magnet, just old fuel and sediment. The car sat for years with fuel in the tank, eventually turning to pretty much dirt.
  17. Good read here. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm
  18. I would have bought 2 gallons of new fuel. Drain the tank fuel into a clear plastic tub and see how it looks. Mine looked like Sunkist when the tank was fuel of crud.
  19. Could be an air leak, those cause high idle from my experience. The throttle blade could be dirty, sticking open just a little. Check for cracks in the rubber accordion hose that connects the AFM to the throttle body. A lot of possibilities, AAR could be stuck open too.
  20. I'm not 100% on this but next time your tank is full and it starts acting up, pull over and remove the gas cap. If I remember right it shouldn't have a "whooshing" sound as it trying to pull in air. Your gas cap could be bad, the top vent line could be stopped up? I have blown into my filler neck, cap removed, and could hear the gas gurgling around. That was my way of testing the hoses after a tank and hose refresh on my '72. @Mark Maras might have an idea to add. Good luck, it could be a lot worse of a problem.
  21. @HusseinHolland What you've done is amazing. You should design the layout for the next Space Station. Just looking at your shop is like a museum, awe inspiring the way you make use of every available inch of space. Cliff
  22. I completely understand. Main point is/was you need a good fire extinguisher. There's a lot of combustibles in a small space, looking at your pictures.
