Do the clutch slave cylinder adjustment and the correct distance from floor to pedal. You can google "240z slave cylinder adjustment classiczcars.com" and find the info. Good luck, don't want to drop the transmission if you don't have to.

Could be in the timing? Glad your making progress! Just rembered my ordeal. Once the float levels are right you must start over with carb balance and tuning airflow. But once you do it all over and get them right, say goodnight to Mr Carburetors. They will be solid for years.

From your photo. If your tangs are at this severe angle you'll have problems. That bent upwards tang will keep the float pushed up and no fuel will enter

Have you read about stacking washers on the valves. If I remember right I had two on 1 when I the different length float "ears".

You are.

How old is the fuel filter? Maybe time for a new one.

He found those on ebay, NOS. They're no longer on ebay either 'cause... I mentioned wanting a set in a post above, he found those and, drum roll please, they'll be here next week! ? I love that man.

"For motorcycles he used glass for the larger ball to keep the mass down and deal with the vibration better." Don't these look like glass?

From the www One day I decided to drive up to Stoneham, near Boston, and pick up a Grose Jet. This was in the days before Mapquest or GPS so I looked up the address in the ad and found a map of the town. It was called D & G Valve Mfg. Co., Inc. on 8 Mt. Vernon Street, and I really did not know what to expect. Would it be a large brick factory with chain link fence and guard house? It turned out to be a house in an old Stoneham neighborhood. I went to the door and knocked. A large man with a machinist apron on greeted me and invited me in to the manufacturing shop set up in the basement of his house. He wanted to know what model of carburetor I needed a gross jet for. Since I was there I picked up one for the Quadrajet on my mother’s Pontiac as well as the Holley on my VW. He took the time to show me how his jigs were set up to manufacture the different Grose Jets. For motorcycles he used glass for the larger ball to keep the mass down and deal with the vibration better. He pulled two Grose Jets out of the drawers of his cabinets and sold me what I was looking for. I drove home enlightened to see what a Yankee inventor could produce out of the basement of his house and become famous for in an underground sort of way. Look up D & G Valve on the Internet, you can still find it. Amazing.

I agree 100%. I would love to have Grose valves. I bet someone could get the patent and start remaking them. Seems like they were in Massachusetts maybe? Anyway... @Captain Obvious I'd buy four.

I'm stumped on all of the sudden overflowing but here is what Mark is referring to I believe. When it's assembled and overflowing I would suggest sticking a red straw from a can of WD-40 down the overflow bung to make sure the float isn't stuck somehow once the lids are on.

From what I remember that other spade on the matchbox was for a crank sensor? I got lucky and got a '79 ZX one with E12-80. Here's that Excel with the different specs if you haven't seen it. Distributor advance curves S30-S130.xls

Nope, and I followed Blue's Tech Tips I think are the same as your diagram above. EDIT It's the same, "John Hull". http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html

I sent Schneider Cams an original Nissan cam that has "JAPAN" stamped on it after reading about the failures of those CWC cams they will send you if you let them. You might look at Schneider or isky's web site. They have a few different profiles for our cars at a lot better price, send your rockers to Delta Cams for resurfacing. Cost $50, $3 per - $36 plus $14 shipping.

I use a 1.5 Ps20 Fireball with my ZX distributor after researching. Works great! You may need that specific cap and button too, they're bigger than Zs. And the resistor is bypassed. Oh, it says that above. Sorry...

That's the reason I don't like felpro HGs. They go from '70 to '80, same part number. Something changed in 1981 Captain Obvious.

Sunroof was like a chimney.

I'm soooo glad they included that odometer pic.

Here's a good quick read and a possible lead on some '72 wheel chocks from @7tooZ

The ones in my 240 look like the ones in Whee's post above. The 280s have folding ones. Mine... 280 ones...
