I used these on my 240. Then covered with liquid electrical tape. Turned out good, water proof too. Slides on the "nail head" terminals.

Looks like fuel sender connections.

My d21 jumped fire for 5 years? maybe. Ran like crap on acceleration then cleared up. It was tough pulling my boat but I cared more about the boat than the truck. My Dad, God bless him and his attitude, said try a new cap. $5 and him busting my balls for the next year is all it was.

I had those on my boat. Heavy duty crimp on battery terminals. They have some that have screw down instead of crimp.

I remember this one was for sale. Long gone now but some pics to look at. Good luck.

Yes the front cover has the water pump and the oil pump so there's a good place to mix the two. The water pump has some funky bolt lengths and if they aren't put back right they could crack the cover.

2nd nature to you Steve. You've helped so many people it's like tying shoe strings now.

Yes, that's what they are.

Looks like where fuel tank vent hoses come through to the evap tank. @Zed Head will know, he has a '76.

The AAR is a good suspect. It opens when cold to allow more air to pass, increasing the RPMs. When the warmer plate gets hot the opening inside the AAR will close, lowering the RPM. Just for the fun of it I would unplug the BCDD wire and see what it does. That thing causes fluctuating RPMs too. The butterfly in the throttle body could be gummed up and stick when it's cold allowing more air through raising the RPM. Then when it warms up the sticky goes away. You can clean that with an old toothbrush and some lacquer thinner. Here's a picture of the connection where you can unplug the BCDD and a thread that talks about function. Good luck. I hope you figure it out.

The Zx distributor I put in my '77 bearing cage came apart I suppose, steel balls were stuck to the sides and the performance was a little sluggish. Then not a month ago a guy 3D printed some new parts that look good for $25 I think? I'm going that route when it warms up down here.

I like the black on mine too. It's such a good contrast off the aluminum carbs and intakes.

I learned the hard way like you did, you must us the millimetre size hose on a 240. Low pressure hose to, it's a lot cheaper the EFI hose. 280s are a little more forgiving with 5/16" since they have the higher pressure PSI. If they are not not right you'll get a spray of fuel when the pump comes on.

Here's some things I remember reading on the stock covers. Same as @26th-Z said.

I've always read/been told and followed 0 offset without doing any mods, fender rolling. Konig Rewind 16x7 0 https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery/526089/1977-nissan-280z-konig-rewind-stock-suspension

To put a period on my post I had to get the old trusty laptop cracked open. This is a Excel spreadsheet that @Walter Moore took the time to do. I studied it for a couple of days and decided on the '79 manual transmission distributor and luckily amazon.com had one. I hope this helps you make a decision, it did for me. EDIT: I went back to my past purchases and found it. Unfortunately it's not available at this time. Maybe you could try rockauto.com? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C46L52/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The spreadsheet is below... Distributor advance curves S30-S130.xls

I used this write up to put a '79 ZX distributor in my '72. It works great too. Bought the refurbished ZX distributor off amazon.com https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html The 240 wiring is close to the bottom of the write up.

Let'em sit in the sun for a few days would help the most. They get bent in shipping, such a large box. @Av8ferg If you leave the lowest lip on the OE metal air induction to the radiator it will support the Xenon. It's adjustable so you snug them together. Mine sounded like a busted front tire the 1st time I got up to higher speed. Scared me! Then I figured out the support needed. No more problems.

You can use walmart brand oven cleaner and a local hot water car wash spray.Then aluminum polishing wad or similar. That'd be closer to oem finish. I bead blasted mine and 400? grit sandpaper over the NISSAN then cleared with satin high heat. But that was my preference. The oven cleaner and aluminum polish would be closer to original in my opinion.

Here's the one that will sale. Thanks @kats I found a side by side...

She has her lips closed, we can't see that front grill.

I thought Levy was gray haired Fabio. i sure do like Brie Larson the new Nissan girl.

Yes! They borrowed the Z logo too. I've seen that before over the years. Batt rastards.
