Transmission Swap?
It would be hard to make one look as good as your's Chas. OP, I've done my front bumper but the rear is gonna be a bite that I'm not take. It's a lot harder than the front so I told myself I needed the protection of the rear bumper. There's some dipstick driver's around here. 240 bumpers on a 280 look fantastic without the cost of a 240, better ride too.

PCV? Edit: that's a shopvac hose I think so I made a sucker guess and was way off.

Transmission Swap?
A turbo ZX with an automatic was fun back then but I hated the n/a autos. They were 1, 2 and D but the speed limit was 55 mph. ,

We're bringin' back the Flat Tops!
Those things work great. They do look like they'd be easy to make the only thing is that plastic collar's size. The other screw just has a piece of clear tubing on it. https://zcardepot.com/products/choke-lever-mounting-plate-reinforcement-240z

Here's some good threads on doing that. That first one, the TECH article has a great write up from Arne. https://www.google.com/search?q=automatic+to+manual+transmission+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=automatic+to+manual+transmission+classiczcars.com&aqs=chrome..69i57.17286j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Picking up a 1977 280z 6 Hours Away. Tips?
Just make sure the plug in is the same. The early ones have a bullet type plug, later is a plastic 2 or 3 way.

Rear end suddenly clicking
Does it do it constantly forward or backwards? Usually a u joint will pop when you yank the tire back and forth. You might find a grease zerk on the u joints, also?

Rear end suddenly clicking
@Captain Obviousfill in again today. Check to make sure you don't have some type of debris around any of the rotating stuff. I've heard plastic bags, pieces of wire etc. getting on the drive shaft, in the u-joints, wherever, makes a sudden noise.

Picking up a 1977 280z 6 Hours Away. Tips?
Yes. They're the male end. The sender is. Hope that fixes it! If you're gonna buy some I'd get that thick pink tape. I love that stuff better than the thin white.

You can clamp the fuel line to the csv. Little bitty cigars? I've seen people smoking those in rap vidyos.

My Mecum Purchase - 1972 240Z
That looks promising in my opinion. $5.50 you can't go wrong! If you get good results with that you'll have done a great favor to us all. Please update if you try it.

Looks like a set of plug wires and who knows the boxy looking thing. I thought it was an aluminum radiator.

Late to the welcoming but glad you found us. Great car too! It's got that monstrous Yorx a/c mine had. They are right in the way of everything. Mine's in a box in storage with the other OE stuff I've removed.

My Mecum Purchase - 1972 240Z
I'm very sorry to say that was done by the guy I bought the car from and he told me about using that stuff. I'm thinking he called it poly butyl for windows but I'm not 100%. Been awhile back, sorry. Maybe someone will chime in that might know. Cliff

There's a small arrow on those filters that shows flow direction. Point it to the pump. Let me see if I can do this...yep! Learning this phone. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm

Here's the best I could find of the cracked dash repair with low sheen elastomeric sealant. I was thinking it was for sealing commercial glass but after googling it i saw where it's for masonry also. The cracks were above the 3 gauges in the middle.
