I'm still watching for you Steve.

I see, thank you for the info Vicky. I know that 5-speeds were available in '77...I have one of them. I just figured that they all had a 5-speed.

Hmmmm.....where in central Texas are you? A 4-speed in a '77...what happened to the 5-speed that should have been in this car? Do you know?

I wish you had watched it, I could have made a little more money and even delivered it to you. The buyer may flake out, he doesn't sound very convincing yet about coming to get it...he's NW of DFW. They charged me $150 but didn't really have to do anything except pull it apart to make sure there were no problems then put it all back together with all new seals. It was worth it to me to know that this is a solid tranny and I should have no problems after I install it...I don't want to have to pull it back out again.

Honestly I don't know. The car has been parked for a couple years and I was not ever the driver of it, another member here was (thefastestz) though.

Thanx for the update Jim, please do keep me posted on what you decide to do. A 32gal parts cleaner...I'm just not getting a mental picture of how big that is. What would you say you could fit into it? Or are you back in Houston yet where you could shoot a pic of it and something else showing scale?

I had Cottman's do my 5-speed Z tranny, not sure if you have them there or not though.

Can you tell me about the parts cleaner please? Size, condition, pix would help but I know that you are not in the same location as it is right now. Also, if you decide to sell the car please contact me with all the details!

Those 6-spoke are the ones I was hoping you were talking about! Shipping time is not a concern so the slowest method to save on cost is fine by me. These wheels only weigh 16lbs each so total weight with box and packing material should be well under 70lbs which is most carriers' limit. From past experience the box should end up being something like a 16x16x33 which will be considered an oversized item but still should fit within shipping size restrictions (I have had a set of wheels shipped to me before). Please let me know if you would consider this. My shipping zip is 78613.

If you decide to ship them I may be intesrested in the 6-spoke. Could you post a pic of them please?

More items added!!

Yes Bill, everything that the above links returns is mine.

I currently have a bunch of parts on eBay almost all of which start at $1 so please check out the auctions and bid high. http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZdjsting1QQsorecordsperpageZ50QQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1

I agree with the others, this no certainly not a $3500 car.

All very interesting information. Thank you to all who have provided input. Now I suppose that the question would be 'what is the best tripple set up: Webber, Solex, or Mikuni?' This would be for a 3.1L stroker used for autox and weekend driving with a '77 5-speed and an R180 3.9 diff.

Are Solex and Mikuni the same thing?

Which place is this?

I've see these items on eBay in the past, they had a pink handle I believe. Is this what MSA sells?

Are you on PayPal yet? I would like to get one of these as quickly as possible as I have just run into some electrical gremlins in my Z and want to eliminate as many problems as possible. EDIT: Sorry about this but I'll have to cancel this request. I just got a call from The Z Clinic (the shop that has my car) and they have already done the headlight relay work as part of their troubleshooting so I no longer have a need for this part. They reworked the tail lights, the dash wiring, and the headlights as mentioned so everything should be in good shape now!

Thank you 26th-Z. Yes, we have discussed this to death in other threads and I appreciate your willingness to allow your pix to be archived to my site for future reference. If you have anything of particular interest please shoot me a note and I'll be sure to get it on my site. Also a note to all, you can bookmark my page if you like as I have a static IP address and the pages are hosted on the server in my home office so there should never be access issues unless it is due to temporary outates for upgrades or DSL being down.

Please read through this thread, I have posted a link to the mirror of this information on my site.

I think that what you are looking for is located on both sites in Cheat-Sheet/240Z-Cheat-Sheet.html

He was kind enough to provide me with a copy of all this information months ago and I have it all available on my site (I'm pretty sure that this is the same guy). I have also added to it since I got all of the info from him. Please take a look here. If you have something you would like to contribute please shoot me an email.

Buy it and take it to another state that is not as strict.
