Captain Obvious is dying to fly down and work the bugs out. He's that special kind of guy, extremely helpful. You have the plane he has the knowledge, zip it up. I would but my dog is not feeling well.

I'm not sure I'm following your idea but this may be another option? https://www.amazon.com/Star-brite-Liquid-Electrical-Tape/dp/B0000AXNOD/ref=asc_df_B0000AXNOD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312131680281&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10573119427317070475&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=21143&hvtargid=pla-574384539732&psc=1

I think Phillip is having fun stretching those pictures? Could be a LSD Whopper he's munching on. I've had LSD sugar cubes back in my past life. Laughed for 10 hours, slept for 20.

The red Zs are over $100 from MSA. Blems are $79 plus shipping. I'm about to figure out this e-commerce thing and make some extra dough-ray-me. Not with these scallops though, they ain't leaving except in the hatch when I sell it.

I found 4 original scallops today for $100. They look great too. pictures when I get them, they're already removed from Marketplace and I didn't get a copy of the image beforehand. They will be the last original parts I need for when the time comes to sell my baby doll. Many years from now.- saturday night music thread

A little late maybe but you all do know those nuts on the T/C rod's cup ends are one use. I found that out the hard way. They may not come loose the 2nd time around but mine did. Luckily it happened backing up my driveway so I got lucky I guess?- Putting in a replacement L-28
Oh yeah, it would rub the paint unless you put some type of cushion in between. I did that on those 10mm bolts on the top left and right side where the spoiler attaches to the metal close to the headlights. I used those flat rubber fender washer looking things from Lowe's. Did you have as much fun as me attaching those two bolts? Those were a pain in my rectum.- Putting in a replacement L-28
Man! That looks great. I put the original lip behind my Xenon spoiler to stop the high speed flexing, flapping maybe, and it made a big difference as far as reinforcement. You can adjust those front lips so I did mine right up snug behind the spoiler. The thing circled in your picture.- One Needle Valve Larger than the Other?
The ones you bought are the better in my opinion. The pin that rides on the float tang is closer to OE. A lot thicker and rounded off at the tip. The others are more like pins and more sensitive I imagine. Here's a bunch of reading and pictures on the different valves.- One Needle Valve Larger than the Other?
You got the good valves too! Mine have needle tips like the Schrader valve pin on valve stems of tires. Who did you get those from if don't mind sharing?- One Needle Valve Larger than the Other?
The front bowl goes low on acceleration so the longer one goes on the front to compensate. There should be a R stamped on the short one. Ztherapy sends both the same length. You add/stack washers to make up the difference. Best thing I've ever done to my carbs was put two rear lids on mine, front and back I got that right? It's 2 rear lids that are shorter.- Cold Start Issues - Engine sputter (77 280z Auto)
You can pull it and it put in a glass container and see how much it fills. Like s30driver says it only comes in at start up but they do leak when their bad adding fuel. They're on the same 30lb something high pressure side of the pump. On cleaning the bullet connections I say shine up all connections. It won't take long and cost nothing. Here's the main thought on shing up old connections. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html- Cold Start Issues - Engine sputter (77 280z Auto)
Post #2 shows them. They get corroded over time and loose their sensitivity. You can remove them and sand them down until shiny, steel wool works best.- Cold Start Issues - Engine sputter (77 280z Auto)
Have you cleaned all the brass sensors in the thermostat housing? That helped mine.- Cold Start Issues - Engine sputter (77 280z Auto)
Has anyone mentiond the cold start injector? Sometimes they add too much fuel on warm up. The fuel sensor bullet connections are also suspect.- Cold Start Issues - Engine sputter (77 280z Auto)
Here's what I'm talking about. That flat blade heats up and turns the metal disc inside the housing. Opening and closing it.- Cold Start Issues - Engine sputter (77 280z Auto)
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.- Door panel clear washers for Series 1

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. - Bought 4 hubcaps
