He must be a little horse at the moment making that hotels.com money?

We're having a "pollen blizzard" around here so I abhor nature at the moment. If only I had a Kirby salesman to vacuum this crap out of my life...

Tom Monroe's "How to rebuild your L series motor". I'd never built a car motor, read that book about 4 times and now have a great running healthy 2.8 in my '77 280Z. Easy to understand and everything is explained in simple terms which was great for me. https://www.amazon.com/Rebuild-Your-Nissan-Datsun-Engine-ebook/dp/B006VUICHG

More great images from Mr Hoover. One day I hope to be mr Kirby.

I'm sorry to say, remember, my thermostat was donated to the cause. We were wondering what the innards looked like and i took one apart. The connecting pipe for the two intakes is still on mine. As I recall those SOBs wont come loose. I'm getting some folks moved in a rental and will be going to and fro my storage building so I'm still gonna be looking for your parts. Will update asap.

The drapes don't match the carpet that's for sure on mine. Knob and wheel are completely different.

What about the "potheads"? They weave really slowly. And motorcycle riders? Woof!

I'll look and see what I have off my 2 sets. I don't need the heat down here so I deleted mine. Maybe a thermostat and that pipe around the back of the cylinder head plus the pipe in between the carbs (I think)?

Also the float runs horizontal like the photo. Kinda tricky getting it in but not too bad. Good luck!

Right side up is when the arm raises up. When it's all the way down you're on empty. If you still have the old one lay them side by side. You may need to bend the new one to match. I didn't and now a quarter tank on the gauge is empty inside the tank.

Holy moly, that's as bad as I've seen. I will never complain again about our roads.

Bleeder valves work good for me also. Definitely worth the money.

Here's a shot of my E88 with the early spray bar attached and the newer design laying beside it. The newer one came off an N42 head that was changed to a newer oiler cam. This was a common upgrade from all I've read. Those spray bars a problematic and should be checked often, like every oil change for my 240. 240 spray bars... 280 with a oiler cam...

Got it out in the sunshine for awhile. Wore the flat spots out of the tires.

Those look to be rebuilt OEM cores. The only place I've recently seen with left and right was MSA. Someone went through this not too long ago is what I remember. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic21a09

here's some good glue blob shots also. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/afm/index.html

When they come to your house!

I bought all my 240's brake stuff off amazon.com. Rotors and pads, new reservoirs and master cylinder, booster to. Best prices I found. The rears are different though. You can put new cylinders on for $50 or $200 for the OE style. I went the $50 route. On your thermostat I would say get a Nissan, they're bigger and more robust than the chain stores. I think mine's a 160 degree and my car idles in my garage at 176 degrees with zero wind flow. I'm sure it drops when I'm driving. zcardepot.com has everything you need in one place or you can search for nissan p/ns and get your local dealership to order stuff for you.

Looks good! I used this to redo my '77's combo switch. It's a little different but easy to figure out, more wires for the 280 if I remember right. http://www.kamikazeracing.org/dl/ZTech/Rebuild_240Z_combo_switch.pdf google search... https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ei=aNyTXIDjOPDU5gKvoKGQCw&q=280z+combo+switch+repair+classiczcars.com&oq=280z+combo+switch+repair+classiczcars.com&gs_l=psy-ab.3...13550.23249..23683...0.0..0.121.1576.15j4......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j33i299j33i160.6c9QNyOgTuI

If @Diseazd liked tanks.

Looks like a vinyl top maybe?

Thank you Guy, nowhere for a chipmunk's turd like me to go and be welcomed by so many good people.

You guessed the right inspiration for that.

Ferg I had to ask the community about that one, I wasn't positive it was a Z. Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling seeing your car on a money management commercial, makes me think I finally made a good decision.
