Have you thought about the white blob further up and centered, more like James Dean Spyder style?

Congratulations! Now it's time to wizz the neighbors off with that exhaust.

Wrong side.

I hope that works for you. I bet you're going nuts not be able to drive it after all the work you've done.

On mine the ZX shifter stood straight up and I would almost hit my radio going into the top gears. The ZXs have a different boot, no leather and a different console position. I went to a junkyard that has some 280s and got a couple of shift rods. ZX rod on bottom The ZX shifter compared to the 280Z

I could mail you my practice rod if you want me to. I'll take a picture tomorrow, I mean later today when I get awake for Thursday. Didn't @Dave WM have this problem too? Sorry to bother you if you didn't but it seems like we talked about it.

Yes, that very well could be the reason.

Budweiser and auto-fill, bad combo.

I didn't get it either but it was what it it wuzzz. I hate that phrase but sometimes it's true? I just told myself it sat lower in the the "pot" and went forward with my plan. Pull the shift rod and look for those little nicks or scratches. And leave everything off like Zed said until you figure it out. I drove mine for a hundred miles with no boot and could see the transmission turning and hear everything. Thinking back mine popped out of 5th and reverse when I let the clutch out. I went to my honey hole junkyard and got a spare shift rod to grind on first then when that worked I only had to barely grind the good one. You'll get it I'm sure. 8^)

Are y'all talking about shims or the inner and outer spring seats?

I left that metal limp behind mine, it's adjustable and adds some firmness.

The shift rod won't go far enough to completely engage the gears. I bet you if you pull it you'll see the nicks I've shown you. Put some paint or fingernail paint around the bottom, put it back in and go through the gears. You'll see the new scratches. Just a little grinding and recheck it. Don't take off too much but as long as your don't gorilla arm shift it will be fine. I'm speaking from expirence I promise.

I don't think I've seen one connected to the valve cover? Always the intake or balance tube. A picture would nice.

Trannies are mixed up in the head and the now the bathrooms.

Mine turns almost 2,500 rpms at 75 mph with a B type out of a '79 ZX 2+2, R180 differential. I thought I was getting the Borg Warner close ratio most ZXs have when I bought the motor and transmission together but the 2+2 uses the wide 5 speed. I was mad at first but it does fine for my light driving. Have you tried zcarsource.com again?

It's the PCV system. I've seen pictures where people held the pipe in with JB Weld. It has a ridge around it that should be up against the block, beat it in with a rubber hammer. Here's some info in this thread. If it keeps blowing out your valve is probably bad, not allowing air to pass through.

Thailand, where my brake lights and bumpers came from I do believe. They are nice as hell so who cares unless they come from Trump Towers. He's more into "Chinenuh", rhymes with vagina.

Wrap that with carpet and let the cat use it as a scratch pole, like the one beside the potted plant.

Does you matchbox have two connections, one on top and one to the side. I think that's the e12-93? or something like that.

If we're talking about the same thing, this stuff confuses me, my weights are stamped 8.5 so advance is 17 degrees and I have verified this with a full advance setting on my timing light. At 2,500 rpm my light shows 34 while the pointer and pulley are at zero. The numbers stamped on the body of my dizzy are the '79 specs on Mr Moore's spreadsheet. He was in an accident and lost his 240 so I don't know how involved he is anymore on this forum. Maybe he'll see you notification and respond? I've read on Blue's Tech Tips on recurving the dizzy. Maybe try and google that.

I bought from amazon.com I put in my vehicle as a '79 ZX and got the one for '79s. I have good luck apparently.

Would it not be easier to return it and get one for a '79 ZX?
