That is what it looks like to me...

practicing on small pieces of metal will be good practice for you. AS far as a place to weld, I can't think of a better place than the floor. It is very well covered by the carpet and also from the outside. As far as having someone do it for you, try to find a mobile welding service or find a freind that knows how to weld. I am lucky, the local community college welding school is local to me and needs things to weld for class. Since I am not in a hurry, my car makes a good canidate. Cheap too. -Bryan

THe TOKIKO are just bolt in, and with the springs it lowered about 1/2 to 1" BIG BIG difference!!!

DEFINATELY worth the few dollars. A sloppy shifter will just drive you nuts and possibly embarass you if you miss a shift. Hate to watch you turn red if some ricer beats you from a red light.....

Yea, the change is relatively easy. I have recently changed over my 71 240 from auto to man. PM me if you need some help... -Bryan

That is about the only choice that you have, either live with the chalk, replace them, or remove them. I have 2 in my garage and I get it from BOTH sides whernever I exit the house from the garage, but at least I match.

I tried to GIVE AWAY better crap than that and got no response...

place the cam in the head then rotate it until no lobes are touching the valves in #1, and with rotation the exhaust valve will hit #1 next. (the piston in #1 is Top Dead Center) To make the smaller adjustments, the cam gear should have a marker dot to go in line with the mark on the chain and the mark on the crank.

I have the Tokiko adjustible struts and springs on my 72 and stock on my 71. DAY AND NIGHT. Worth every penny.

1. New distributer VS new pickups = new has new bearings whereas replacing pickups on an old dizzy can give wobble. The Zeds are notorious for wobble. 2. MSA is cheaper for that fact, it replaces points on the existing... 3. I would replace / upgrade the coil. Not much cost, no electrical loss... remember the car is around 30 years old. 4. If your stock wires are good (no cracks or electrical loss) they should hold up fine unless you get soem kind of radical coil. This is a good upgrade that will also give you reliability and a better drive. Also, for the gain and benefit, the cost is not too bad.

regulator??? I would start there...

I am in Cleburne , Texas (south west of Fort Worth) and I am 31. I have a 1971 (late) and a 1972 240Z. The 72 will be an autocross car while I am trying to get the 71 into a daily driver/ show car.

Paint is one of those things... You get what you pay for. Easy comparison, go to MAACO and lok at a AFTER example of what they just painted and look at the other guy's work. The quality will be there. I always want to see someone else's car after it is done before I get the same done to mine.

Ken, you live in such a nice neighborhood. Boy I am glad I left San Antonio...

I have had a few exhaust systems that I have had to pull the exhaust, and some that I could just leave alone. It is jsut how the header is made and how the pipes are laid out. Good luck!!!

It should interchange. The really good part about that early 71 is it is adjustable where as the later ones are not. Make sure you usr the clutch fork from your origional 4 speed (it has a hole in it for the adjuster) This will give you the ability to adjust your clutch.

Nope, it is still dry. Gotta drive at LEAST 15 minutes to the nearset beer store. In fact I am gonna go there in a few minutes. Cooking out today...

And to think I just saw some of these REAL motivation posters up the other day and talked about how stupid they are. This is so much better. If I owned a bar.......
