Huge help, than you @Yarb Now I need to find one! I'm looking for part #13015-21002, the part is called SERVICE FILE CAM-FUEL PUMP. It is #9 in this diagram: https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/engine-240z-260z/camshaft-valve-mechanism/9

What is the round part that is on the front of the cam which the fuel pump arm rides? I'm needing to get one and need to know what it is called so I can search for it.

WOW, and mention of Cybersanford (eBay seller) too...I've not see that name in many years.

Is this what you are looking for?

I just wanted to verify something before placing an order. I'm needing these: https://zcardepot.com/products/water-hose-nipple-intake-bypass-connector-oem-240z?_pos=68&_sid=780dca1dc&_ss=r Per the description these are for numbers 19 and 22 in the diagram. Would this also not be the same part for number 20 in the diagram? Or is that a different one for some reason?

That's perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Does anyone have a good picture of the rear driver side of a 240Z engine showing how the rear engine sling and water bypass are mounted? I've searched all over the internet and the closest I could find was something Arne posted in 2009...it just did not quite show what I'm after. I believe both of these go on the rear most intake/exhaust bolt/stud though I'm not sure which order they install in. I am thinking that the water bypass is first and the engine sling is second. Please help me verify.

Welcome back @=Enigma=, good to see you on here again. As for others I remember, KMack, escanlon...oh man my memory is failing me at the moment. There were so many regulars.

Thank you for confirming what I thought to be the case.

I was at the local Z shop yesterday for something else and talked to the guy who basically was saying the same thing. Because of the overlap you'd have to decide which piece you want to save unless you were able to undo the spot welds (if in fact they were spot welds). I'll go read up on that other post.

There was a request for pictures. In the first 3 pix I think that the lead fill is in line with that seam on the inside of the hatch area. Is that correct? I could not tell even after sanding off the layers of paint/primer. Also, in the last pic you can see rust along the top edge where the windshield seal was. Is that a deal breaker for people who would want to use the roof skin?

Yes, my primary goal is to salvage what I need. I figure I can sell the roof to someone who needs it so I wanted to attempt to not screw that up in the process of pulling what I need. I'll have a look at this next time I get out there to work on it.

I have a shell that I'm about to cut up for parts to save other cars. I will not need the roof and will be putting it up for sale. Where should I make the cuts for this piece?

Why is that?
