Carb linkages
Here are some threads on that. Maybe you'll find something useful. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=B8Q6YK-iE6SE5wLytoOoDA&q=throttle+rod+lengths+classiczcars.com+&oq=throttle+rod+lengths+classiczcars.com+&gs_lcp=ChFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocBADMgUIIRCrAjIFCCEQqwI6AggpOgQIKRAKOgQIKRBHOgUIKRCRAjoICAAQ6gIQjwE6BQgpEJMCOgcIKRCxAxAKOg4ILhCxAxDHARCjAhCTAjoICC4QsQMQgwE6CAgAELEDEIMBOgUIABCxAzoFCC4QsQM6DgguELEDEIMBEMcBEKMCOgIILjoCCAA6BQgAEMkDOgUIABCSAzoLCC4QsQMQxwEQowI6CwguELEDEIMBEJMCOgsILhCxAxDHARCvAToGCAAQFhAeOgUIIRCgAToFCAAQzQI6CAghEBYQHRAeUNMbWM-WAWCzoAFoAnAAeACAAbkBiAGaGpIBBDAuMjOYAQCgAQGwAR4&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp

Worth of round carbs
That means someone is making floats too. I'll read more tomorrow, thanks Jim. 👍

Worth of round carbs
I would be a negative too. Description says new floats. They were $200 5 years ago if you could find them. I'm glad you went with ztherapy. Maybe you could sales yours to the ebay girl? I think $100 each is too cheap, they don't make these anymore. Enjoy your new carbs. They'll make a big difference in your car, I think. Cliff

66.7 feedback. I don't remember seeing one that low.

Worth of round carbs
There's a set for sale on here now for $250 and they look to be ready to go. That's cheap to me, the rebuild kits are $230. If it were me I would pay the $200 and keep them.

Datsun 240z weird startup
Can you look at the butterflys in the carbs? They should be closed. I think it's something in the linkage too if you've been working on that area. Here's something that I had out of order that caused high revs. This is a picture of the right way by the way. Oh yeah. Now my turn to play Captain Obvious. If you put a new ignition switch in maybe you got a wire in the wrong spot?

Cat 5 data wire is what I use for stringing stuff. No where near what you guys are doing but it's cheap and works for me. 5 pairs=10 copper wires. 500ft for $50.

240Z 72’ wants to die once it gets to op’ temp
Try removing the air filter and see how it runs with the cold air coming directly in. Won't cost anything...

How can I get digital coolant temp on my 240z?
I'd try and find another upper coolant housing and then figure out what needed to be done to put whatever sensor you need in. zcardepot has them for $43. https://zcardepot.com/products/thermostat-housing-water-outlet-oem-240z?variant=19274718118001¤cy=USD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsIyr_4aB7wIVgcqGCh17LAGdEAQYAiABEgLX4fD_BwE

Hollow fan blades?
It's a thing they're doing. Ford was back in 2014 according to this. Guy thinks like me, "seems counterintuitive..."
-
Hollow fan blades?
Yes! That's where I heard that and was trying to ask about other hollow parts like a crankshaft. Then I got a text and ran off the road. Sorry for the half arsed post. Seriously though I was wondering if that is possible on something like an F1 car where money doesn't matter. Hollow parts to lighten the motors? I've never thought of that and am curious. Thanks.
-
Hollow fan blades?
That doesn't go together very well. If they made a hollow crank shaft it would spin up a lot better but that rotating mass thing always comes to mind for me.

240z values - 4 speed vs 5 speed
I may as well have left the 4 speed in mine. I never use #5. 😇

1977 280Z Stuttering
Congratulations! If that's a before and after shot, wow! It looks great. Enjoy that car.

1977 280Z Stuttering
That was suggested to me so I ran the gauge to the windshield. It let me see what was what at idle then through the range of throttle. @FastWoman helped me through all of this. I miss her help on our cars but she moved on, I guess?
-
1977 280Z Stuttering
I ran a gauge up to the driver's side windshield, under the wiper blade. Had good pressure constantly. The ECU was getting a lean reading and feeding less fuel because of the coolant temp sensor function. I forced more fuel by clamping the return, it ran way better. I realized I was on to something and asked on this FANTASTIC forum and then went to RadioShack and spent $5. Runs like it should plus I control the fuel flow. I can lean it out on the interstate and run cooler. I've thought of putting a camed up head on and fattening up the fuel? I've read EFI can't compensate for small lobe cams. One of these days, when I'm bored...

1977 280Z Stuttering
From all I've read on here the FPRs rarely fail. I think it's a simple diaphragm but I'm not positive. You can clamp the return line to increase fuel pressure. That's how I discovered my coolant temp problem. The shitty running up until 2,500rpms.
