78 air intake probs
here's some pictures to look at so maybe you'll find the wires. Scroll down about mid-page. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html

Fuel problem
I thought for sure the paper in the fuel filter had folded in, sorry. I'm not 100 percent on this but it seems like one of the four fuse able link wires powers the pump. I'm with Fastwoman, straight wire to the post on the pump from the battery. I use speaker wire with alligator clips. Where is Enterprise? Seems like ive been through there going to the beach? Ive got a spare Bosch pump is why I ask. You could go to ZCON in Memphis this July and put that deevorce in the rearview mirror.

I had my speakers muted yesterday, that laugh makes it even funnier today. Thanks for sharing that.

Anyone have experience with hy-per lube ZINC REPLACEMENT ADDITIVE?
Maybe Jalex from Panama has too much zinc in his engine causing the "shaking, back and forth"? It has the Zinc Shakes.

Unexpected Surprise
That reminds me of the "how to modify" book's little snippet on Turbo Tom Wyatt's 510 being 9 seconds faster than a turbo 930 and 3 seconds ahead of a 427 Cobra at Road Atlanta with an L20 4 cylinder.

Lifting engine & tranny from the side?
That's what I'll do Mr Warner, push it half way outside and come in from the front. If you had to remove tires anyway it'll be the same as what i ran into when I pulled it. That's a very good list you've posted (it's exactly what I did except the hood is in my spare bedroom ) for anyone else that will be removing their motor. I've got a low ceiling down there so my winch idea didn't work, even with a steel bar through 3 floor joist. Thank you though Zed Head. After seeing that Jarvo used the 1 ton from Harbor Fright that's what I'm buying. Thanks again for all the help, y'all are the best!

Did the vanity mirror have a cover, originally? Seems like one of my first ones did, waaay back then.

Lifting engine & tranny from the side?
Could the motor come out from the side without all the hassle? I've got a 3 car garage and the one in the middle is the project stall, so I would have more room from the side. Thanks for the repiles everybody, I'm trying to figure an easier way. I guess I could just try it and see?

Lifting engine & tranny from the side?
I've got a decision to make, buy a 1 ton cherry picker and come at it from the side or buy a larger hoist and come in from the front. I've got limited space for storing the thing I'll use maybe once a year. Do many people do it this way? Thanks for any replies, Cliff

Fuel problem
Take the hose off the bottom of the metal fuel filter behind the radiator on the passengers side. Put it in an empty container and spin the motor over. Gas should come out. Go to a parts store and buy a new filter. If gas doesn't come out let us know. Cliff

Bad Dog Expands to Fiji
That picture is very disturbing. It has nothing to do with Fiji though. I was playing off the name, Bad Dog Cafe. Not too funny looking back over it. Sorry. China has a problem, they kill kids too.

Blasting pots are great if you have a large air compressor. I've got a small 20 lb one that I shoot glass bead and baking soda through with a 60 gallon 12 CFM @90 psi air compressor, I have to quit every 10 minutes and let the compressor cool down and drink a beer or three. Makes one hell of a mess too. I'm buying a cheap igloo shaped tent with a floor so I can get in there and be able to reuse some of the glass beads, 50 lbs cost $32 at Tractor Supply, $42 at Harbor Freight. I couldn't imagine doing a whole car in my garage, it would make a HUGE mess. Have you found Grannynot's rotisserie rebuild thread? It's a good read. here it is, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/45430-240z-rebuild-restoration-right-down-to-the-shell/ read post #16, $3,600 quote for sandblasting and chemical dip.

1973 Rebuild
I downloaded the '77 FSM and EFI bible on a flash drive, took it to a office supply place and had them print it, hole punch then put them into 3 ring binders. Cost around $50 bucks! I've used it once to get the transmission and differential fluid amounts.

CDL1542 That's a cool looking car. Any interesting stories behind the tow hook and the numbers? Stock motor and interior?

L24 vs L28ET
"high in the nineties" reminds me of a Sanford and Son episode where Donna, a.k.a The Barracuda brought one of her patients to Fred's house, Osgood Wilcox. They had some wine and Osgood says "White wine. Nothing like white wine. White wine should be drunk young." Fred said " Yeah, I was drunk when I was young."

L24 won't run properly (video). What can cause this?
Anythings possible I've always been told, I don't believe it though. Get TDC and pull the valve cover to see if the chain sprocket notch is lined up with the cam plate mark.

1973 Rebuild
My problem was going from dirt bikes to street bikes and showing my a$$. If I had a kid, he/she would have a dirt bike. That's why I don't have any kids. :: :: ::

I got to watch the video this morning, sounds horrible like the timing is way off.
