My original AAR had the electrical coil windings break loose. The part that has the electrical connector would slide out if I remember right. I found a good one at an old junkyard locally. I've read where people put them in boiling water to see if they close but I don't think that's good since there are electric windings. Maybe a hot hair dryer or a heat gun would let you test it? I could have glued the innards back in I guess but found the better one.

That's what she said.

I run a ps20 fireball coil with the e12-80 distributor on my my 240. I split the the low and high and gapped at .041 with the ngk bp6es. Runs great.

Oh boy did I miss that one!

Another temporary option after a little filing.

Thanks! I'm bookmarking this link. Haven't seen them before. 240Z slam panel

Wait a minute! You have the injector holes on the N47. Are you running carbs? @Jeff G 78 can tell you. He runs a p79 with carbs. Same as n47.

I would search around the parts web sites and see if the same manifold gasket, diamond shape is what they call it, would fit the '77 280 and whatever year 240 exhaust manifold you have are compatible. Felpro makes one that would be the most universal I think. I've got the gaskets downstairs I could put over each other and take some pics tomorrow and let you decide. It'd be close. Actually I think that's why Felpro makes the diamond shape. To cover both exhaust ports.

Thanks to our buddy Hoover here's a good read. Once you wrap your head around this it all falls in place. The "ah ha" for me.

Me too!

Well you said it ran better all the way up so that explains the yellow part. I would make sure the nozzles are completely up. That flat bar Mark spoke of can get out of shape and keep them from reaching their height and lessening the fuel. Have you a way to meter the air flow, balance that? These are great and fairly cheap. Well after googling it there not so cheap anymore? https://www.amazon.com/Latest-Rage-5385730856-Carburetor-Airflow/dp/B00CMC57R0/ref=pd_aw_fbt_img_2/140-4982961-2615742?pd_rd_w=Xlzjj&pf_rd_p=76328f70-5fff-49b7-869a-94bfdaa768fc&pf_rd_r=JECHWPJ6RGT64TVVHVNZ&pd_rd_r=42368007-404a-49b9-87a3-cbbfc73c54b5&pd_rd_wg=n1J8w&pd_rd_i=B00CMC57R0&psc=1 I agree with Steve and Zed, a good tune 1st. When I got mine the best running ever I had my timing full advance at 17 at idle then the dial back set on 34. At 2,500 rpm it sits at 0 on my light. BUT! I have a ZX electronic distributor. Love the old car but the simplicity was increased with the newer ZX dizzy.

That and white with blue interior from all I've read. So I guess blue interior makes that true. @Bonzi Lon would know if he's still around. He had blue on blue that's in Saudia Arabia now and I'm positive he got PAID.

I'll mention this too. If you rebuilt them with the newer needle valves and adjusted the height like the DVD shows, upside down at 5/8", your floats are off and starving the carbs of fuel. There's a bunch on here about that and I'll help find the threads but 1st off what does yellow mean on colortune?

I had a problem on a Z I had once and couldn't figure it out for anything. Turns out the nozzles were not moving freely as a result of the previous owner using regular fuel hose instead of the more pliable "J" hose that they are supposed to have. If the chokes are disconnected you should be able to reach under and pull them down and they should pop back up on their own. Good luck.

I miss the direct phone conversation days. I'm selling Ben Moore paint and they want to email everything. I call and after 20 minute hold they can tell me what is available and not. The email snail takes 2 days at least.

I think at 52 it would be hard to get adopted but I'd be the best! Your living a good life @psdenno and I know it's your good decisions. You're a good friend and I appreciate all your experiences you share with me and the forum. Keep on trucking!

I know it's a car club but I'm a Southerner. When it gets cold we stay inside. This makes me smile. I made it out of an old stain glass wine stopper and a vase I bought at a yard sale. Inside down time is hard for me. I hope you others are not suffering "cabin fever". It's a tough problem for compulsive people like me. Bengals by 10.

These are the closest to mine from 1972 I've seen. They have 280 ones too. I don't like the empty block look around "240" some of the others sale. https://stripegarage.com/collections/datsun-240z-260z-280z The others... Stripegarage.com... Mine from '72...

Put a 240 bumper on there! Looks good to me.

Looks good! Like @Yarb said it has layers of body filler on the hatch which could be a negotiating factor in your favor but also a catastrophe with a shiny paint job. I don't think that's an original Nissan color? Definitely have a body shop look it over.

I've recently noticed these round holes on cars before my 1972 which has the storage bins. What are their purpose? Thanks for any response.

Tire inflation? Higher money doesn't go away in my experience except groceries and gasoline, which is very little and not timely at all. Katrina taught me that. Now covid is going to teach us all a new normal. 20 more years hopefully and I'm out.

Those look good to me but they could be higher doing the testing different. Good read...
