		Carburetors in all the wrong places. 
		
		When it's buried you can't tell.

		Okay, instead of an elephant's ear graft I guess an elephant's trunk sewed on would be close to OE. It'd be a lot smaller but it's all in how they use them. Hardy har har!

		Possibly, if you have nut allergies like my school teacher friends.

		1972 Float Adjustment ...
		
		I do things right the first time so nothing needs to be tested, girls either. Even though some girls seem to like repeated "test".

		I have to be real careful, sometimes all that heat do a spontaneous combustion kinda deal. My peta just blows slap up! They say there's no more skin grafts left? I bet my dog would sacrifice one of his ears for me though. Might need a an elephants ear?

		You need to be careful when exposing your hose unless it's to more hose.

		He's pushing that motor, beating the hell out of it from the last few post. When I have something that's nothing but problems I baby it or get rid of it (girls).

		Silly like farting and giggling? Instead of pull my finger they were saying pull my choke!

		Did you remove the fur from your engine on last rebuild?
		
		Rocket fuel! I'm having some right now.

		You can buy a tube of assembly lube for the cam lobes. You'll end up using it a lot more than you think. I think mine is a moly type made by CRC?

		Riding low in the rear huh? 227 gallons is pretty heavy.

		Weber selection and initial jet tuning
		
		I'm almost positive my machinist used seats from a Dodge hemi engine for the exhaust valves on my Z. He had a bunch of those on hand. Just an FYI...

		Which takes us full circle back to the California Datsun motor, known to be problematic from the reviews of buyers. Not only is it from California Datsun but a California Datsun "high performance motor". Would that qualify as an oxymoron?

		'75 280z - Head temp sensor question
		
		- Paint Stripper BewareI have 9 toes thanks to a 3 wheeler. They won't turn with the front tire off the ground. Hard acceleration out of a gas station straight into a street sign.
- '75 280z - Head temp sensor questionTry and sell it then get a 280 head. Easiest path in my opinion. Like Zed said get a p79 and have it cut then put '75 to '78 valves in there. Here you go, http://datsunzgarage.com/p79/
- 280z air filter housing snorkleI got rid of mine and used the screen wire to keep Alvin and the Chipmunks from storing their nuts in my air box. Cute little things until you find that then dead little things. Chip-mignon, the other white meat.
- '75 280z - Head temp sensor questionLooking at that cam he'd be easily dissuaded.
- Always scratching the paint when removing orange air filterOr paint the bay orange. Come on man, you're smarter than this!
- Paint Stripper BewareThe way that reads if I go to Lowes and buy a gallon of muratic acid and drink it it'll kill me. Well duh, stupid is as stupid as stupid does. Please read the warnings if you have no expirence with a product.
- 1972 Float Adjustment ...How about loosening the screws on the choke cables so they are free and drive it? Would that be a good idea or digging a deeper hole? I don't think his chokes are right. Mine will crank with no choke, his should too, takes a few more seconds though.
- Beginning of rustThe stuff I've used has to have rust worse than that to adhere to.
- '75 280z - Head temp sensor questionBy the time you have the notches cut out, bigger valves and seats done to the E88 I don't think it'll be worth the time and money??? I would find and N42 like the '75s came with. That's a good cylinder head. Here's something I found from a couple of years ago when I was trying to decide on the head differences.
