Tire leaking along rim
When the outer bead seals onto the rim it'll make a loud "pop" sound. If it comes loose normally you just fill until the POP. Ive used nylon racket straps to squeeze tires down so the air won't rush out along the rim then take it off, continue filling until the POP. You could put half a can of fix a flat in each one to get them to stay sealed. I wouldn't use slime on a car tire. It settles at the bottom when cars sit and you have an unbalanced tire hop. Tire guys hate that stuff. Id get the thinner fix a flat and drive it immediately to get it spread evenly around the wheel. Good luck!

Valve stem replacement w/ head in car
Good decision! Those valve keepers are a pain with the head on a bench.

Valve stem replacement w/ head in car
I think @rossiz bought one and he lives in Seattle. Maybe he'll see this and possibly rent it to you or see this and tell me to shut the hell up.

Valve stem replacement w/ head in car
This is the one that most people use with the head on the car. If it were mine I'd check with a machine shop and see what they would charge before I bought the tool. Somebody that has one may loan you theirs?

This is long but has all the info.

Fuel tank hose with a hook in it (240-260z)
I used 5/8 from O'Reillys for the 180 bend hose. 1/2 for the long one from driver's side to evap tank.

Are the links the right number apart? I can't remember the number, Google if you don't have it. I see you are starting on #3 timing hole on the cam sprocket. I've done that to two new motors from advice I heard/read. I will be going back to #1 on my 240. Those motors turn more rpms than the 2.8 and peter out around 6,000. I am not happy with that. My 280 is okay on hole 3 i guess but #2 would've been best in hindsight. Low end power plus still some left up top. That's my opinion.

180 degree bend. I used two 90s on mine, so my confusion. Plus three or four more confusions.

There's two holes they come up through in the hatch. The drivers side and the hose you show comes up towards the centet of the passenger's brake light assembly. You need those rubber grommets to, where they come through. Hope I'm helping, not confusing. Just got home from work and scattered. 8^(

No, i said that wrong. The one that runs the whole rear isn't the 90 degree that you have. That one is on the fat end of the tank.

Looks like #5 in that diagram. You're gonna have to remove interior panels.

On my 72 that hose goes all the way down the interior side of the brake lights to the evap tank on the passenger side interior, behind the strut tower.

You could pull the feeder lines off the carbs and see if they are supplying fuel when you spin the motor. My experience with the first crank has always been the distributor timing. Loosen the hold down clamp and have someone crank the car over and turn the distributor to see if it'll crank. Good luck.- Auto 101 test

I thought it was passengers rear, the farthest from the m/c? I've been doing it wrong! Not a big deal though, it stops.- '72 240Z on BaT Already at $45k with 6 More Days to Go!
Something in your/our future we'd all like to see. Hopefully we'll have that sort of appreciation for our Zs. Good to hear from you. Trevor is still enjoying his classic ride I'm sure? Cliff- Auto 101 test
