1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
I'm with Pilgram! Those cheap arse studs from msa are paperweights. Split washers on the manifold are a joke IMHO. I'll post the Nissan p/n that I bought. Google "out of round nuts" or "squash nuts". You don't want lock washers, they loosen up after the heat and cooling down cycle. My .$02

Ceramic coated vs straight stainless for header and exhaust system
I have the MSA coated header, 2.5" full exhaust on my 280 and 240. 280 had a slight leak and needed a resonator, now it sounds great. 2.4 motor sealed great. I love the sound of the smaller motor, no resonator. Very "raspy" sound. MSA sends their headers to be coated. The coating company sends them back in a single box, seems like it's close by? but then MSA was sending them across the country in the same box. We brought this up and the problem was recognized and then corrected. Here's the coating company in Santa Anna, CA. http://www.embeeperformance.com/ MSA is located in Orange County, CA. too. They wrap the $^!# out of them now FYI. Here's what I received and sorta of started the whole thing. Joseph at MSA was great helping sort it out.

1971 240z Refurbish in Denver
"For those in need the joint is made by Motor Master and the specific unit is: Kawasaki ATV700" @Dr. 240Z found them for $22 in 2014. Good luck. https://www.google.com/search?q=240z+steering+shaft+u+joints+replacement+kawasaki+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=240z+steering+shaft+u+joints+replacement+kawasaki+classiczcars.com&aqs=chrome..69i57.40742j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

280z 78 Wont idle, Running Rich, out of ideas.
That hurts like hell, like a hundred papercuts. If you have the valve cover off you can use the cam sprocket bolt too. You don't want slack on the driver's side of the chain so if you go past the mark don't roll the car backwards.

I would loosen the distributor and have someone crank it over while you turn the distributor. It should get better one way and worse the other. You say it cranked but now it won't. Check the simple stuff. Coil wire, rotor button, etc.

Mint '71 240Z - More Fun Coming to BaT
@jfa.series1 might know the answer? I was thinking the "summer/winter" flap housings were the first but after a Google image search I proved myself wrong, once again. Good to hear from you Bob. You've been missed.

Rockets from Iran hitting US bases in Iraq now
I read up that trait years ago and found something that has helped deal with it better because it's usually someone you work for. Don't blow air into their ballon.

AFM Boot?
I agree with the others and should have kept my mouth shut. When I bought my 280 it was my hobby of the moment so I read all I could find. Then rebuilt the motor and deleted a bunch of stuff. My thinking was less is best so I quickly bought a 240. If you can spend $70 and keep it stock buy a new accordion boot and consider yourself lucky.

AFM Boot?
I ran my valve cover hose to the backside of the throttle blade to keep it cleaner. They get sticky after a while. The efi cars are so effected by closed up intakes that I can't see how that would work very well. Remove the oil cap and see how it dies down. The 240s seem to run good without them, I've seen that a lot. I've seen it on 280s too it just doesn't make sense.
