Here's something from Energy Suspension that make sense on what grease to use. What kind of grease should I use before product installation? Answer: We recommend Energy Suspension's Formula 5 Prelube. This is included in most kits which require lubrication and additional Prelube may be purchased from your local Energy Suspension authorized dealer. If you are unable to use our Formula 5 Prelube, we suggest using a synthetic, water resistant marine-grade grease for optimum lubrication and retention. Energy's Formula 5 Prelube may be purchased in bulk for commercial shop use.

I'm with you! He hadn't been back but what's the angle? Some kid, I'm guessing, with wishful thinking.

A small flat tipped screwdriver will pry the injector's clip up enough to slide the connector off, at about a 1/4" up it pop into the next indent and stay. Then the connectors will slide off. Squirt some dielectric grease into the connectors before you put them back on. The OE band hose clamps are stainless is the reason most people try to reuse them, they're better for high pressure too. As far as dripping fuel on top of the cylinders, I would take the plugs out and let it evaporate and maybe spin it over to to get the rest off the tops. All the fuel hose on my '77 280 is 5/16" high pressure line. I think it's easier to take the whole assembly off as to just get the fpr if it's an earlier style, the later 280's only have one inlet on the side and another outlet on the bottom to the return. The older ones have two inlets on the sides, PITA. I made my own fuel rail but they're is a guy that makes them, search google for "pallnet fuel rails". I just copied his but I have a drill press and the taps needed so I had to buy the aluminum rail stock off ebay and the barbs, cost me $50. Look at Blue's tech tips for some pictures on fuel injectors, http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/EFI&fuel.htm

Can you make any decisions on your own? Brush your teeth? Wear clothes? Eat? JAJAJAJAJA, not teasing, seriously. Please answer!!!!!

While your there grab on of those potted plants behind his house. Privacy fences and tarps are good for the neighbors but they have to sunlight so you can't cover the tops. Is weed legal in Spokane? Just thought about that. Black Gold Man could do a lot of good for the DEA, he's got good eyes. Looks like some are on top of a washer & dryer to me. my a** off.

Finally! After much prep work and some other outside my control deals I got the oil pan back on, RIGHT! this time. Golf tees helped hold the gasket in place while I brushed a thin layer of aviation gasket sealer on. Used the flat rails off a ZX motor I had to secure the rear of the pan. So happy I re-did this, it gave a chance to paint the pan blacl like I should've done to begin with. I'll re-tighten the bolts over the next few days. Thanks eveybody for your suggestions! Cliff

Awe come on, go check it out for us. Just kidding, stay safe, stay away!

Hilarious! Nice looking neighborhood for it.

I think it's a "swatting" type prank. All those cars and has a "by the minute" phone plan? Can't put in a battery to hear it run? Kinda fun guessing though.

I googled the name and address info, WOW! This is some weird stuff. Molested as a child, killed a child later in life and went to prison. This is a dangerous scam I think. Nobody puts their name and address on CL, most people won't even put a phone number.

All you need to know about the head you can find out in 5 minutes. Look above the front two plugs for the code N42 or N47, 1 minute. Remove the valve cover and look at the valvetrain for a spray bar and holes in the cam, 4 minutes. My early '77 that was built in 9/'76 has a N47 head with a spray bar and oiler cam, round exhaust ports with liners. Nissan did some weird things between September 1976 and September 1977, it is often referred to as a "changeover year" to meet the USA's emission standards.

I bead blasted engine parts, boy oh boy what a cleaning pita! I ended up making a siphon feed air gun like the diy soda blasters on youtube. Smaller hose and lacquer thinner though, worked really well. Fwiw Cliff

$2,000

Ahhhh Yeah!!!

If you ride around on empty you will overheat the pump for sure. I have a stupid nephew that put five dollars worth of gas in his car when it was three dollars a gallon. My sister carried him to work for two weeks after his pump fried.

You're right, nothing weird about it.

You have a hose that runs from the valve cover to the brake booster? Yes, plugs get gas fouled and are no good. I went through 6 a week on my speed boat when I was racing it.

Build a frame and put on a lawnmower gas tank. My Dad had one when I was a kid for a 350 Chevy. Straight headers!

Mine are a little "heavy" feeling when I lift them up with my fingers too, but they work good so I feel that's okay. A stupid question, you do have the nozzles set at 2.5 turns down, counterclockwise from the top. Are the nozzles dropping down when you pull the chokes on? They're not stuck are they? They should twist a little too on the way down. Are you using a mechanical pump or electric?

I bought one from my Nissan dealership, $50 if I remember right. I've got the invoice with the part number and price if you need it. That CLR soaking looks pretty damn good though and much cheaper.

Yes! The smaller side should be in front, I think, and it would look like 11:25 if it's right. At tdc on the compression stroke, the first two cam lobes should look similar to a rabbit's ears or actually mickey mouse's ears.

Was it an empty hole you put the 240 dizzy in on the front cover? I'm asking because the f54 aka zx has a different oriented mounting ear for the zx dizzy. I'm using my phone so I can't show you a picture but you could google images of the difference.

Both my '72s have the elephant, I was just curious about the earlier ones.

Did it come with the elephant cap?
