Need Some Help Please
I would first take the bigger fuel line off the fuel rail in front of the valve cover, straight from the fuel pump and put it in a clear bottle. Then turn it over to see if it's pumping. If it's not you could bypass the fuel tank which most likely is crudded up by taking a 2.5 gallon gas can with some gas and sit it between the radiator and the front grill. Take the fuel line feeding the pump and put it into the gas can, bypassing the cruddy fuel tank. Then put the smaller return line from the fuel rail into the can also. If it pumps then that'll narrow it down to the tank being stopped up. If your getting fuel to the hard fuel lines along the valve cover it could be stopped up carburetor filters or stuck floats or a ton of other stuff. We'd love to figure out what's wrong with your car.

It has finally arrived :)
Those floor pans look great. That car has been kept inside, apparently. Is that paint #110 Persimmon Red? I've got that color with white interior. Didn't like it at first but now it's growing on me, the white interior. I had to put a cover over the driver's seat and now I can wrench on it and jump in and drive without changing clothes.

Cost Of Ownership
I added mine up a few days ago, $4,500. $2,000 for the car plus $2,417 in receipts so probably $5,000 all told. 1st time to put a price on the best car I've ever owned. I should get it appraised though for legal reasons that may come up someday.

Mustache Bar Bushings... Anything Special I Need To Know?
Adjust the slave cylinder where the clutch slips a little. No more THUD. Just kidding. "fackin bolts", that's funny, reminds me of that old Michael Keaton movie "Johnny Dangerously". "You lousy cork-soakers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves." "You fargin sneaky bastage. I'm gonna take your dwork. I'm gonna nail it to the wall. I'm gonna crush your boils in a meat grinder. I'm gonna cut off your arms. I'm gonna shove 'em up your icehole. Dirty son-a-ma-batches!"

Satin Black Rewinds @msa
I can get a set of graphites for $410 but without lugs or valve stems so that's not too bad. Nobody else has them yet, "exclusively at Motorsport" There goes another $500. Easy come, easy go.

Front Cover/dizzy Hold-Down
Seems like the newer ones have an extra locking screw?, kinda like a flat plate if I remember what I've seen before. Like this, http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt0/pd2110184/USED__280ZX_DISTRIBUTOR__E12_92_

Front Cover/dizzy Hold-Down
According to this spread sheet you have a '82 non turbo distributor. Does it have the E12-80 module or the 92 with 2 plugs?

240Z Bumper Bracket Question
Yes the 2 holes for the car are higher than the holes for the bumper landings. 62656 is the passenger's side, 62657 is the drivers side. I can't take credit for that photo, Dave aka "Zs-ondabrain" did the measuring of those brackets and posted them.

But You Can Drink The Crap On Your Motorcycle On Black Ice With No Worry
Can I take that back??? I looked a little closer, they have the actual Christmas theme barricaded pretty darn well. In one of the towns around here they put the Nativity Scene up in front of City Hall like they have all my life. Somebody complained to a anti-religious group in Wisconsin, they wrote an e-mail and the city took it down. For 30 minutes!!! The community raised hell and they put it right back up. http://www.gadsdentimes.com/article/20141218/NEWS/141219786

Ehh, I'm on the fence on that. If it was a display only, leave it be but letting customers pull the boxes themselves? Sounds like an easy lawsuit for
