Mine has an A11-600-000, built in 9/'76. I've read that if it has the green sticker it'll swap out, not for sure on that though just from reading when i was having problems a few years ago.

Your Schneider cam comes with a "cam card" that shows the valves clearance recommendations. FWIW

I cleaned my engine bay with Simple Green. I had my air line in one hand and a Scotch Brite cleaning sponge in the other. Never thought about spraying water dissipating WD-40 on the electrical. That's a great idea Bart! I wouldn't spray in there with a high pressure wand like with a pressure washer or a spray car wash.

Okay, he's talking about the steel eighth inch plate. Not the aluminium mount. Maybe zcarsorce Com or zcardepot.com will have one. I beleive the points distributor with the small cap was different than the newer ones. I wonder if a Maxima at a junk yard could be a source? There's a few more of them than Zs.

Yeah I shouldn't have even brought the AAR in the conversation. You can just plug the hoses and bypass it. Not a reason for stalling out. My bad.

Maybe it's something in your cold starting system? Cold start valve or the auxiliary air regulator? Nissan rerouted the hoses for the AAR in '78 I think, so the oily vapor from the valve cover wasn't going into the AAR. They put the hose from the accordian boot to the AAR, cleaner air.

I would definitely get a quote for repairs on a 40 year old car before the adjuster cuts you a check. He probably wasn't born when your car was built.

Good call. It looks like brown caulk to me.

Dang Jai, you just can't catch a break! So sorry to hear but I can top that by miles, the love of my life passed away Tuesday on the operating table. She had cancerous tumors and internal bleeding once they opened her up. I'd give my three Zs for my dog back. Life is tough, but we trudge along anyway. My days are getting better and better and I'm sure your's will too. Enjoy the small things and drink lots of alcohol. Kidding (not really)

Good news, for a change.

You're the best!

The whole kit is very reasonably priced to me. I just hope it comes with instructions!

FANTASTIC! I wanted to mount the big I have somehow but others talked me out of it. Now you have helped me again, I didn't know they made those.Which port did you use? I've plugged all of mine except for the brake booster. And I've already tapped them to NPT threads. Thank you, I love gauges!

Read through this,http://damonq.com/techsheets/red-kote.pdf, write down your plan because it's kind of time sensitive. Get some dollar store baking soda and a few empty 5 gallon buckets. A leaf blower works good to blow the soda and water rinse after the acid wash. Then pour in a quart of acetone, slosh it around dump it then hit it again with the blower or some kind of air. Pour in the red-kote, slowly rotate the tank to get good coverage then let all the excess drip out. Make sure the small tubes are not clogged with the liner. You'll have fun, just be really careful with the acid. Cliff

I agree with that! If you can get it done for anywhere near Hazmatt's price I'd jump on that. I spent $50 on 3 things, $30 for a quart of Red-Kote, $10 for a gallon of acid and another $10 for a quart of acetone. It's an all day thing too, well most of a day. Make sure the Red-kote or whatever liner's used has cured fully before adding fuel. I waited a week on the last one I did. If you can smell the liner, it's not cured yet. Set it out in the sun when you can to speed up curing time.

I'm no historian but all I've seen were blueish green, FWIW.

I saw this race car's set up so I'm sure the stock drums are adequate but a little outdated looking.

That's what I'm after to. Seeing the rotor and caliper through my Rewinds is nice looking up front, I want that in the back.

Boy oh boy! Can't wait to see what that finally goes for. I see a lot of neat idea in the pics. John Williams was quite a racer and just all around Z guy, from all I've read.

I have and like! 15" Rewinds on this car, the springs had a coil or two cut out. Those bigger calipers need the 16" wheels, I believe.

Need to add. When you put that Singer flat mount on, you don't have remove the cables. It mounts everything to the sheet metal tunnel, no longer attached to the console. If I remember right.

Do like Chuck says. Try to slide it back to the rear and see if that plug I showed you earlier is connected. Dont forget to remove the choke handle with a small screwewdriver.

Check out Zcardepot. Coms rear disc conversion. thats my Christmas present to the orang Z.

If you have the stock air filter you'll smell overflow before you see it, the overflow hoses go to the filter housing. As long as you aren't smelling a strong fuel smell you're probably okay.
