I didn't want that metal on my paint either so I went to Lowes and bought something similar to these. The rear bumper side mounts and the front bumper sides are all I remember needing the rubber. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-2-Pack-1-in-Rubber-Washer/3130433

Anyone heard an update or I guess a down-gate on this zcon? I don't think it looks too promising. Maybe we all rent RVs and stay in our own bubbles? I remember worrying about bed bugs at hotels a year ago.

Wow! That looks like a crustacean family has been living in there. Can't wait to see pictures after you get the block's core plugs out, I like to get grossed out.

I bought my y.o.m from the tag doctor in Georgia. Super nice guy that restores them to like new. Very happy customer. https://www.tagdrstore.com

One of my most used tools ever. I swear it seems like I use it everyday. Small with brake off blade that extends out 4" at least. Olfa wallpaper knife I got in 1987 is in my tool bag today. You never lose the good stuff.

That's Dutchzcarguy's photo of the thread subject car I posted. My '72 does not have one. Sorry for any confusion. His post got fouled up somehow.

I bought two "J" hoses from my local Nissan dealership a couple of years ago. They weren't much money but I don't remember the amount. Call your local place and tell the parts person to punch in these numbers, 16356-25610. They should be able to get them overnight, no shipping charges for you to pay either. Maybe they can still get them? I like these better than ztherapy's, Nissan's are pre-formed and will never kink. Good luck.

Maybe? OKC, 405.

I'm sure the Round-Up was on the same shelf, Zantac and baby powder too. I was working in a paint store back in the 90's when the EPA cops came in and took all of our wood preservative Creosote off the shelf, put them in their car and drove away. The owner came in later that day and was pissed to put it mildly. Told me they weren't EPA, they were thieves in broad daylight and did I actually read their badge. He was mad at me! Our refrigeration guy claims he has a drop in for the older walk-ins with R-12. It's in a pink bottle, 401 something I think he said. I'm going to try it someday in my 280 with factory a/c. We have about 212 percent humidity today and that drains my old arse out faster than a hangover.

When I rebuilt my motor I decided to delete "potential" problems. I'm a Murphy's Law believer and over my lifetime that has proved beneficial for me at least. You know what us poor people say "more money, more problems". More things that can fail. Break, leak etc. so if I don't need it it gets gone. It's hot down here plus my 240 lives in a warm garage so after reading a lot of threads I decided to do away with the extra heat. The thermostats go bad and the coolant flows through the carbs all the time, at least on the set-ups I have owned. I talked to Bruce at Ztherapy beforehand and he said just use NPT brass plugs in the soft aluminum. They would make their own threads, no need to tap the holes. I did the thermostat housing and the rear carb's intake. I left the pipe in between the intakes though. That rascal wouldn't budge when I tried to turn it out and I didn't force it so it still looks good and isn't all bent up. I plugged the red circles and removed the hardline behind the cylinder head. My car runs great and my carbs get cold to the touch in the winter, they are cool to the touch even in the middle of summer. I'm now race car mechanic but I'm very familiar with nitrous and know the cooler the fuel the better a motor will preform. Like I said it hot down here.

He could have gasket issue from the pump to the head causing a small amount of motor oil leakage but if the OE pumps have oil in them I learned something new today. Thank you 26thZ.

We all know the "pain" working on these old cars. Pain in the arse, pain in the hands. I said I'd get a manicure after building the last motor but guess what? I lied. A peticure would be more cost wise for me. Chris they say that THC is helpful for pain but I would'nt know. It's illegal down here.

I'd say "their" expectations were way off! Have a bottle of wine and do the Yelp review.

I would try a long steep road to see if it starts to cut out. You can always turn around and get back down. I went ahead and replaced the original on the last 240 I bought, don't like having car trouble on the side of the road. If it runs low of fuel going uphill the front carb will dry up first and then you're driving a 3 cylinder.

When you get ready to do the rear tail lights you can buy repros from futofab.com, that's what I did on my second 240, or use @Dr. 240Z method as it worked out great on the first one. Money was tight! A lot of good ideas in his thread...

This holds my phone perfect but honestly, buy a television. Edit: smart television!

I have an n42 block and n42 cylinder head I beat the hell out of occasionally. The harder I run the cooler it seems to run. I do have a newer 3 row radiator, full shroud off a ZX and a belly pan so all the air pulls through the front opening. If I shut it down immediately it will get pretty hot but I always let it idle for a minute or 2.

No charge I imagine. He works on tips, like a mohel.

I had the same thing happen! That's when it broke loose though and the car came back down. I now have a Bernzomatic torch head that works with those cheap green propane camping bottles. They get hot enough for my needs.
