I believe that the Mustang you reference was sold as a 1964.5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_(first_generation)

Maybe it's just in 4th gear.

Not exactly. I've talked with him about this and he does not do anything that directly fits the MSA headers out of the box, it will require a small bit of pipe and fabrication to mate the two systems. It did not sound like very much, and knows of others who have mated the two systems so it can certainly be done.

Yes, that is correct.

We were installing the fuel tank this morning and I noticed some stuff peeling off of the under side of the car in the VERY rear. While most of the under side does have body paint this area seems to have some kind of coating over the orange paint and that is what is flaking off. See pix. The fuel tank is back in the car now so I no longer have access to this area, hope these pix help.

Nope, the filters nor the expand/collapse functionality is available. I do no think that is a huge issue though since the sections are expanded we can see everything and I believe that if some one were to save a copy then they could make use of the filters and expand/collapse functions (I did not test this though).

I don't see when this ad was posted. I know I've seen this one listed for sale before though.

Here's your mounting bolt kit: https://www.zeddsaver.com/products/datsun-240z-air-cleaner-bolts

I have heard good things about the Falken Azenis for many years.

I like this one! I just used it to compare the OE tire size to the new tire size on our Tundra and got the info I wanted. Thank you for the link!!

Glad to have been able to help. 🙂

Perfect although now I have another question... The small hose coming from the block breather tube flows TO this check valve which the directs flow to the air cleaner. The large hose that comes off of the block breather tube flows to the balance tube between the carbs (see pic for both). This seems redundant to me. What am I missing or not understanding? For anyone wanting to use these pictures in the future I've corrected the flow arrows through the check valve (see pic below).

I have a few related questions... What is the direction of flow towards the engine (the direction of the arrows in picture)? Is there a check valve in that block that only allows flow in the direction of the arrows (see picture)? If both of the above are true would it be alright to have both hoses coming out of the that block go to the air cleaner?

Yes, I'll be holding on to and reusing those. Satin black, thank you for that tid bit! I replaced nearly all the fuel hoses in the rear of the car this past weekend and found several of the OE hose clamps missing and in their place the typical style you would buy at any auto parts store (worm screw style). Time to keep an eye out for any OE ones I can get a hold of on the cheap to have refinished when I do a full restoration later down the road.

@SteveJ and @jfa.series1 for the info, using what you both provided I found the line and am attaching pictures of where it goes under my hood. Clearly there have been issues, you can see the dry/cracked hoses and electrical tape on one (assuming this is because it was cracked through), also the fact that one of the hoses is missing (I'm guessing this is the one that would go to the air cleaner housing). Something that will be interesting is what to do with the hose that currently goes to the crank case breather because my new engine (an L28) does not have a provision for this, it only accommodates the one large hose. Any thoughts on that?

The "air supplier tube" is #13 in the attached diagram. What purpose does it serve? Where does it go (looks like towards the engine bay)?

Ask him if he has them, KlasicFab's website does not have everything available listed...just reach out and ask him. 🙂

I was under mine replacing some fuel lines in the rear today (with the fuel tank out). HLS30-08215 has body color (paint only) on the under side at least in the rear where the fuel tank goes.

Auto Panel Solutions is in the UK so you may want to check KlasicFab first.

Check out https://www.facebook.com/Auto-Panel-Solutions-418351785395614/ this guy has many pieces that other places do not. It sticks in my mind that KlasicFab may have these also, https://kfvintagejdm.com/product-category/datsun/?swoof=1&product_tag=240z&really_curr_tax=37-product_cat I'd start with these two, I'd be willing to bet one if not both will have what you need.

Not my car unfortunately, pix were grabbed from the internet as examples.

When I removed the old fuel filler neck I noticed some sort of seal on the underside where it screws to the body. I'm guessing that this is to help prevent exhaust fumes from entering the cabin. What should be used to help seal this when installing the new fuel filler neck? See pictures for location I'm talking about.

As I look back over this thread we should have asked you for a picture of the broken handle so we could have helped you better.

This has been my experience also.

Yep, I've done this myself over the years. 🙂
