Look at the rubber on the pedals. Can't hide that wear.

The squeal goes away when you depress the clutch. Bad throw out bearing. Could be backwards or not pressed on correctly. My 280 whines because my dumb a s s pounded it on the collar myself. 240 is quiet. I paid my machinists $10 to press it on.

Those look like the Capitol's Dome.

240s, 260s have carbs. 280 are efi. That's a line you need to set. Carbs are best imho but an efi once it's working is trouble free mostly. I like the 280 out your 3 choices. Hold off another month and search everyday then decide. The bad ones will still be available but the good ones get gone quick.

I haven't been keeping up but that is like a igniton module failure, no?

Does the motor shoot up or just the tach?

Thanks MrArnett. Reading their website I'm more inclined than before towards the tight fitting indoor fleece cover. Thanks again, can not read enough anout the Z and the goodeaZe that are available. Cliff

Have you looked at the throttle position switch? They cut in around 2,500rpm. Up until then they're on the low side, rpm, contact. Then at 2500 they are on neither for a second. Then they'll click onto wide open. Lots of info on those. Just a bunch of reading. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&ei=2moWXf_gLqHm_Qb-3LY4&q=tps+classiczcars.com&oq=tps+classiczcars&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.1.0.33i160l2.15674.26999..29083...0.0..0.160.1231.4j7......0....1.........41j33i299j30i10.a2JfS2XZEAA

If it's brand new I wouldn't do it. You'll have a brand new afm with a zip tyed plasic cover, not a good thing. ?

When you recall, call me! CoverCraft has a nice one too but the BRE is tried and tested for many owners I've read. That black stretchy one asked if it's a single or double pocket so i need to call them direct. Their website is horrible, like a damn circus!

you can get a pressure gauge from Lowes in the pool section. It's for the pool filters pressure. https://www.lowes.com/pd/aqua-ez-pressure-gauge/3151541?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-lwn-_-google-_-lia-_-241-_-poolproducts-_-3151541-_-0&kpid&store_code=1640&k_clickID=go_1792976560_68785408469_346853782070_aud-299487635210:pla-416743622626_c_9012730&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrNyVgeyM4wIVChgMCh0LowYKEAQYASABEgLOcfD_BwE

have you pulled that black cover off and tried fingering the sweeper vane in the AFM? I bought one and that thing was stuck by spider webs. 10 minutes and i had a good running '76 for dirt cheap.

When you have some reading time here's where I started. Thanks @240260280 http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/EFI&fuel.htm main page... http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/

can't you just unhook the fuel hose or the 12v clip on to CSV? I guess the 12v clip would be easiest.

There's some bored SOBs in this world. Changing the wheels out in the comments?

I can get the BRE for $189 https://www.bre2.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=080A02&Category_Code=car_covers Or this tight fitting indoor black one that has some good reviews for $160 with a coupon code. It'd be a little harder to take off and on I think but I do like a tight fit. Giggity... https://www.carcovers.com/covers/cars/datsun/240z/1972/black-satin-shield.html#customer-reviews Opinions please.

It'll get shinier the more you do, duh... Is that the OE #903 I think, red? Here's your car's step by step from the one of the best.

Sounds loose somehow. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&ei=yT8VXeG-Dsbr_QbP0KbwBg&q=classiczcars.com+map+light&oq=classiczcars.com+map+light&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.12...0.0..40952...0.0..0.0.0.......0.5Jvvsft9VQo

Have you gone to the bronze bushings yet? Cheap and easy while the shifters out. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/shifterbushing/index.html

Clamp off the return, builds up higher psi. See if it'll crank then. Good luck!
-
A good cheap way to keep trash out of your carbs. This is for the larger fuel line on 280s, he uses a G3 but on a 240 the G2s work better. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm

Nice car! Welcome to the classic Z car forum. Hybridz.org calls us "purist". Not a bad classification in my opinion. If that's the original paint a good cut and buff will make it look like new. The two pics in my signature, the one on the left was before cutting and the right was taken after the cut and wax by a pro. I'm too scared to put a wheel on my cars.

Throw out bearing? One hair off a rat's a s s.

And wooed them all. ?
