For the bolts that mount the brackets on the sides of the engine to the motor mounts, do the bolts go in from the top or the bottom? A picture or two would be wonderful please. My son and I are planning on putting the engine and tranny back in the car tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

Laying it out in the sun was going to be my suggestion also.

Do you happen to have a video showing you doing the fog testing?

I thought that I had seen some paintable silicone in the past, might be worth looking into for anyone interested in that.

Passenger side is backwards on mine also.

If anyone ends up buying this one to scrap for parts please let me know! I'd rather see someone fix it though.

I just looked and have the same issue (haven't visited my profile in a while so was unaware). Based upon the message it looks to be an easy fix for someone with admin rights to the site. It's not like Mike to let things go so I suspect he may be on vacation.

The year and models listed to the left of each picture...would this align to the transmission being used I presume? For example if you have an L24 engine with 5-speed from a '77 280Z you will want the collar that is listed above for the '77 280Z correct?

This has been my exact experience with them...more than once.

That "next" person to have to deal with it could be you, whether it is the car you have today or another one down the road. It's always nice to think of the future when doing things.

Looking for one of these, please let me know if you have one. The site I found this one at is currently out of stock.

GREAT CATCH!! I would believe the FSM and the picture you show here is exactly what I was asking (which direction is the flow of each hose). Thank you for the update on this topic.

In my experience the alternator tends to be a whining sound that matches the RPM of the engine (i.e. the more you rev the engine the higher or faster the whine sounds). This is caused by a ground loop and you have to find a better ground or buy a noise filter. A crackling/static sound could be several things... Check speaker connections, if it's all speakers I'm not sure that this would be the issue. If you have a manual volume knob the internals could be dirty, though this would normally only cause the static sound when adjusting the volume Is this only when listening to the radio or any source? If only radio I'd suspect something with the antenna or it's connection. If it is only when listening to a CD then I'd suspect something with the read head. It could be something with the head unit so it may be worth further troubleshooting on that as well. These are a few things that come to mind immediately.

I too thought it was on the expensive side though figured I was paying for the effort someone else put into forming the bends that I would now not have to deal with. In the end I decided it was worth it for me at that time. Agree about the Continental labeling on the hoses, that was a disappointment as it was nowhere in the pix nor the description. As far as the clamps, I simply reused my old ones everywhere I could, I think I ended up using 2-3 of the new ones and they are in locations where nobody will see them fortunately.

FWIW I ordered one of these kits from this seller in 2021 (they were cheaper then, like everything else). So far I've installed the rear hoses, had the tank reconditioned, replaced the filler neck, the filler flap, tank strap isolators, new sending unit with new o-ring and lock ring, new electronic fuel pump, and probably a few other odds and ends in that space. I'll be installing the engine bay portion of this kit when I put the engine/tranny back in the car (hopefully this year). https://www.ebay.com/itm/304629344865?hash=item46ed52ea61:g:OasAAOSwl85hQSig&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4Djh0wu66%2B0K8CRP7zNqsCuSo6SZkzi655mh8qwSKOQoIONK8PjgpmqBF%2FpTwtSb2cUwJ9CZ9CjcrOGifB0iR%2FrIj2yH67YFvIodFw%2BQ55EqJHeXJzlHNxKrmMG58xvrn6wCidWBg7SMTyGpKjT6ljXnl4MJdo5w2PwbtswFVHxBNvXLz7JW74Rp26sLzDZBNeg0G5ZblmEdYgcMWbqpM5SM2POxuG%2BvfFNRaqj0rMdbJ4XWVMuwTvYDjX55qfUKehz0yo%2BV%2FJYg3TUj%2FY36bTxwKEcgKolrNmXLZZbkA65h|tkp%3ABk9SR6anubvQYQ

Dynamat is the big name brand you may be thinking of. @Jaymanbikes please post pix/video, I'm very curious about exactly where you are seeing this coming in from.

And I continue learning new things about these cars every day, tank you @Yarb! Thank you for the link @SteveJ.

Have a look now, I've attached them differently this time. I would suspect that the tab would be there since when the body was built they likely did not do things differently for AT/MT due to cost of tooling change etc.

Here are a couple more pix showing this area with a line and slave attached.

Was that keying kit an eBay find?

For the brake lines from the master cylinder and the difference from the early style to the later one (starting in '72) I think that this thread will clear things up.

Nice! Got links to the items you purchased?

As is often the case, this information is "loosely" accurate. I have an 08/70 build that has the plastic evap tank.

OMG I wish I'd have known, I would have gone with you! I'm in the Austin area, have a truck and trailer...we could have picked up so much stuff in one trip. 😞
