Fish come from the grocery store! Teach a man to fish? So I have to grow my own ketchup?

Is that the smaller diameter of the return or is there an actual part that could go bad and need replacing? Thanks!

I always forget about the 260s and my lack of knowledge about them. I don't think I've ever even seen one in the "wild". Just at ZCON and on the internet.

That DVD method doesn't work with the newer style needle valves. You can't turn them up side down and set the distance then install them. They'll be way off. The newer needle valves are too sensitive for the weight of the floats. You have to turn them right side up and let the float hang down, blow through the fuel inlet while raising the float until it shuts off, no more air gets through. When you get there that's the .55" measurement. Like Captain says that'll get you in the ballpark but the clear tube will get you a real idea of where the fuel levels are.

I wonder if his nozzles are stuck down or the choke wires are in a bind somehow. Would that cause the overflow? I know when I got my first 240 I would leave the choke lever pulled back after cranking and running it for a few minutes leaving the nozzles dropped down. My upstairs apartment smelt like gas really bad. Girlfriend wasn't happy with the smell and I was glad to be alive with my pilot light water heater downstairs where the fuel was. Edit for clarity of dumbassedness. The choke lever bracket was broken all to hell so I tried not to use it too much until I got the metal holder from Mr Singer. Best $$ spent on a 240 BTW.

Depends on where he started.

Do it a couple more times. Use a soft bristle brush and hot water. They'll look good.

The carbed cars don't have fuel pressure regulators like the efi ones do.

I've started talking/thinking like my Grandad did when I was a kid. Seasons change, come and go about every 10 years. We have had some of the nicest weather I can remember this year. It's 78F and drizzling rain right now. Last few years have been like Hell, (from what I've been taught) miserably hot and dry. El Nino!

I want download anything to my phone.

My d21 pickup did that too. It was the vacuum hoses that hook up right beside each other, 4 side by side if I remember right.

I would put a cheap fuel pressure gauge right out of the fuel filter before it enters the metal hardline. You may have too much fuel pressure? I think 3psi is about the max. Lowes has cheap gauges in the swimming pool supply section, fyi. Good luck. You want that fixed asap. While you're at Lowe's get a fire extinguisher. They have a metal rechargeable that fits perfect in the tool bends behind the seats.

When I cleaned mine I used Murphy's oil soap to clean them then I used some left over leather cleaner from a BMW I had. The leather cleaner made the interior smell good so I still use that. My Camry has leather too. Bought all that at Walmart.

I'm a dummy too! duh... Looks like transmission and bearing tools on my phone blow up?

I have an E88 with "Birmingham Cylinder Head" on those. Seems like there's one on each end? From what I've been told it's the glue? that holds them on that gets too hot and releases the button/disc. That voids their warranty if one is missing.

I googled that heat button on the head, "Pioneer cylinder head" and it came up as a parts supplier I'd never heard of for Nissan parts. Learned something new today. That's always good! https://pioneerautoinc.com/engine/internal-parts

Finally found the page I was looking for and I am WRONG. That '79 was a 2+2 with the F-54/ P-79. I don't know if that matters or if someone had swapped out the motor? Anyway here's the write up on all the different blocks and head combos. Great read but hard to find nowadays, they changed something and my old bookmarks do not work anymore. https://datsunzgarage.us/engine/ L24 (1970 240Z)2.4 liter# E31 (flattop pistons)E31 L24 ('71-73 240Z)2.4 liter# P30 (flattop pistons)E88 L26 ('74 260Z)2.6 liter# P30 (flattop pistons)E88 L28 ('75-80 280Z/ZX)2.8 liter# N42 (dished pistons)N42, N47 L28 ('81-83 280ZX)2.8 liter# F54 (flattop/dished pistons, siamesed cylinders)P79, P90, P90a

What the hell is that? A fuel filter. You're going to need a lot of help and you'll get it here. Walk lightly my friend. It took me a year at least before these wunderful guys accepted me into their fold.

I've got a couple of sledge hammers and maybe 6 wedges. Please get them from me. I'll leave them in the front yard propped up by the mailbox.

You can get one of these rubber caps for couple of dollars. Keeps the fluid in the tranny without driveshaft.

Looks right to me. The bushing goes on the very end, slick part. The splined part is bigger. I think that's what is throwing you off. Try it on the tool in your clutch kit.

I think it's from Deliverance... "You sure are a pretty sum bitch"

I check mine at oil changes. I only do the valves about once a year, maybe longer as I don't drive it much. Thanks zkars. I will now go check mine. 💣 Another reason it's a garage Queen.

They'll have an exta foot. Oh wait, I have a third foot. And Happy Father's Day to everyone, the four footed children too. Mine...
