Holy crap! Give me a motor rebuild any day over interior work. Putting the OE radio in last month used up my months supply of heroin now the new heater valve and hoses finds my bag empty again. Flushed it out with a hose pipe then stuck my finger in the out flow hose to check for leaks. It leaked around my finger only, thank goodness. I can't take anymore today but tomorrow the inlet hose and valve go on then I'm checking myself into rehab.

I can't see any oiling holes in lobes so maybe it's not for an EFI turbo head? It's a mystery!

The 240's valve shuts off the flow through the core. I was worried that coolant would be coming inside the cabin all the time but it won't be until the valve is opened. So plugging the elbow on the head is the same as closing the valve. Don't know about the 280's, they are different

Too funny! That's where "working is for suckers" comes from I guess. As Fred G. Sanford does, I coordinate.

I've always read EFI cars don't run good with high lift or smaller base circle cams? That one says "turbo" so it's made for EFI. Chickenman has the best advice. Get the number off the end and google it.

That's a real pisser!

My rebuild kit came with SMs from Ztherapy. Runs good on my slightly modified free flowing 2.4. msa 6 to 1 header and 2.5 premium exhaust. Their dvd has old info on setting the floats though. You can't measure .5" with the lids upside down. Needle valves are too sensitive.

Works fine, thanks Mike. Working is for suckers.

What's going on here? Limited access, had to sneak in for this post.

Put on a 10 lb. flywheel for even quicker revving and fun driving. I kept the 2.4 block with the small rods, weighing the same, and 6,500 rpms is easy to get to quickly after I got my carbs straight.

That's a head scratcher right there! Great idea too. I'm guessing a longer cable through the firewall to the valve?

Those look completely different. Sorry I ask. 8^(

Here's my green wire on the red 240 I had. It follows the freon hose from the compressor to inside the cabin I think, I sold that car. Might help?

I've seen it both ways but would like to hear what the factory configuration is for a 1972 240. The inlet hose coming of the head to the heater valve goes through the bottom hole in the firewall? The outlet comes out the top hole on the firewall? That's what I've been able to find so far. Also I think it'll work either way but if someone could be so kind as to confirm this I would appreciate it. Thanks! Cliff RED=inlet BLUE=outlet

I haven't been keeping up with this project and am curious as to which injectors you are using? Looks good and apparently runs good too.

Who in the hell would risk losing everything to make "moonshine" when I can go two miles to the liquor store and buy Patron?

That's what terrifies me, most vets go into law enforcement.

"I hate f--cking electronics" I hate electronics too. Never tried to f♡ck them though, my girlfriends have!

Reverse image search through google. Put your cursor in the image, hold down "S" key and right click.

You can pull the inlet of the pump and stick it in a gas can to see if it pulls fuel. You could have a crudded up gas tank?

The first 240 I bought I was hypnotized by the 240 itch and paid too much for it. Lucky I kept it long enough to get my money back but that's my lesson learned, don't jump on one too quick there's plenty to be had for a good price. Use searchtempest.com I think it is, for all of craigslist listings.

$4,000, yeah but they want $14,000. That's a big difference.

Passenger's side of the hatch is a lot tighter than the driver's side too. Looks like a damaged car to me but if your son likes it oh well.

I'd take a GTR if someone feels the need to be philanthropic.

This may get a quicker response? @Apoc628
