I get the joke Blue. A bikini car wash isn't about clean cars.

Free popcorn is all I remember.

I remember when my combo switch was giving troubles on my '77. If I remember right it was the headlight upgrade that he needed the 280 style plugs to work with his 240 harness. You sent him those and he made the harness. Let us know how much brighter they are after tonight.

Is that 110 Persimmons? It has the same color change in photos as mine did, one picture looked red the next orange. Looks great whatever color it is, spoiler too!

I found Hardway's DIY thread.

Welcome to the club! I wish I had the ones I ruined in my teens and early 20s, they were little race cars to me. Cheap and plentiful back then but no more.
-
@madkaw is doing something similar. He may shed some knowledge he's picked up?
-
Those look so good and reminded me of Hardway's thread on his restoration of seats. Try Google of "240z seats Hardway classiczcars.com". He bought the covers off ebay I believe and some "hog nose clips" if I remember right. @Hardway

I used a bunch of towels, folded and stacked to the right height on my Z when the seats were out. Other cars that aren't so low I've used those square plastic milk crates I stole off the loading dock at my grocery store. An upside down bucket, pillows, anything to drive mine. 8^)

Another thing I thought may be causing your high rpms, the throttle linkage. You could unhook coming out of driver's side firewall on that plastic marble and see what happens. It may be the linkage binding?
-
I would remove the dashpot, and unplug the bcdd and cold start injector. Then make sure the throttle blade is closing as well as the aar. Hook up a vacuum gauge and see what it's pulling, 17 hg is normal. Good luck and happy hunting. 8^)

I spoke to the owner this evening and he said the series 1 emblems would not fit flat enough I guess so he went back to OE style. Such a nice guy, I wish now I'd given him the car. 8^) Hopefully we'll see each other at ZCON in Austin. Fingers crossed I will be there to see him along with the Memphis crew. I will supply the bar napkins for Captain Obvious to school me on coolant flow. If we run out of napkins I'll grab some hotel towels or bed sheets. I seriously doubt a lack of beer napkins though.

You should have bought it! We could have road tripped it to Austin. Oh well, more money for the "Safari Gold Club" car you have.

I can't believe y'all haven't watched that? One guy stays passed out in the backseat through the whole movie. Another one does a parachute jump with a hippie pilot that put his dirty clothes in the chute pack. They run out of gas, get a cable from the median fence and lasso a train. Didn't move the car one inch, instead it yanked the whole front end off the old Cadillac.
-
I totally missed that! I'll ask him about it this evening. What are you, the Six Million Dollar Man? He had super vision too.

Your sons are so fortunate to have you for a Dad.

Euro cars had to have higher lights than U.S. We "needed" higher bumpers.
-
If it nearly died when you removed the oil cap you have more air getting in somehow. Mine drops around 200rms when I take the cap off but still runs. I've seen videos of them running with the whole valve cover off. My car is a 9/'76 and had the egr hole. The recall came out in '77. Try and be more acceptable of our recommendations, you are asking for help, not the other way around.
-
I like you!!! Two guys that love the 240s met, we agreed on a fair price and I met him in Tuscaloosa. He drove from Baton Rouge. Honesty is the key when selling 40 plus year old cars. Thanks again for the compliment. Coming from one of the forum's earliest members it really means a lot to me. Cliff

I finally caused you pause, with the best intentions, and you claim obscurity. That's one of my top ten favorite movies. Are you familiar with the "Hangover" series? Exact copy. The first VHS movie I ever bought, then Holy Grail.

Functional Movement Systems, as in the almighty Z. It's pouring down rain and I'm bored. I'll turn off my computer now, it's best for all.

Just got a text from the guy I sold it to. No more rust, repainted exterior and some interior. All new weatherstripping and shined up wheels. Looks good and he is very happy with it. Here's what it did look like, 110.zip

Here's the inside of the combo switch, it might help somehow.
