Original color of 1972 240z steering wheel
Im about to paint the metal spokes of my 1972 steering Wheel. I will use a wire brush and then a satin or semigloss black paint with primer spray. Anyway i wanted to know what is the process to clean the Wooden Wheel and the correct original paint color.

Stock front speaker panel restoration
i bought that kit but the 5.25 speaker magnet were too deep and thick and they did not fit flush. Maybe i should keep shopping around for speakers of thinner magnet.

In the process of restoring my 1972 datsun 240z steering Wheel. Should i use satin black in spray and no clear on top or should i paint it using a compressor and gun in satin black? The original Wood color is red?

Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam

I bought the msa kit but the speakers magnet are too big.- Stock front speaker panel restoration
The paint on my stock front left and right speaker panel is pretty worn. Is it worth painting it in black matte spray and installing them again?- correct driver and passenger seat location to activate seat belt warning light
I am planning on buying the seatbelt kit sold by zstore for christmas. Mine are really worn, so i guess this issue is irrelevant as with the new seatbelts i wobt be able to activate the seatbelt warning light. Does anyone differ?- Instrument Brake lights dims a little bit when parking brake is off
Problem came back again! Brake Light started to dim lightly. How can i service the Assembly - Switch Brake Indicator??? Any kit is being sold?- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
I dialed both carbs to 2.70 turns clockwise. Drove it for 30 mins yesterday night including a couple of street light no longer than 30 second stops. Response at 1st gear got better. Once at the parking, i took all the 6 spark plugs out and this was the result- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
OK. We´ve got a point!! SM´s were too rich for stock engine or mild build (my case). What i want to achieve is the following: Good and fast response on 1st gear when speeding and good acceleration over 4K- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
THis is the cam i have installed: http://schneidercams.com/274FL6.aspx Sincé my engine was overhauled due to wear of the original engine by DATSUN LLC increased to 2.6L, i was recommended to buy this camshaft. If replacing the needles with another type will compensate and solve the driveability issue at low rpms while mantaining the same response over 3000 rpms, i guess that is something that will need to be considered. I will drive the car today after increasing both mixture knobs to 2.65 as i need more power but not too much that will foul the plugs during long idle time in traffic.- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
Mark, Just be advised that my car has a schneider 274f cam and not the stock cam as my car was overhauled to 2.6L with oversized pistons. Could this affect? What needles may be recommended better than sm needles for this upgrade.- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
SM needles provided by Ztherapy when the 3 screws carbs where restored by them. Ill drive it today and take a picture of the plugs. Should i just race the car for 10 mins and then shut the engine off or normal driving on traffic jam and then shut the car down?- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
Just drove the car yesterday with new plugs at 2.5 turns clockwise both carbs. It lacks some power at 1st gear though. I think it needs some more fuel at the carbs.- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
Gap how much?? Using petronix ignitor and flamethrower coil. 2 Su carbutetors- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
Left to right in the following order 6-5-4-3-2-1. I pulled them out yesterday after the long idle on saturday evening traffic. I even noticed that the spark plug gap was reduced from .031 to .028. Is this normal? Too much heat is causing this???- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
should i take all the spark plugs out and clean them once again?- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
ill be cleaning them today and lowering the mixture to 2.5. Ill let you know. Thanks Mark!- Misfiring and sluggish acceleration when exiting traffic jam
Just installed a coolant reservoir tank to my champion 3 row radiator. It´s working better now. Anyway, the car is still presenting some sluggish acceleration after getting stuck on a 5 to 10 mins short traffic. Can someone explain to me why if i pull out all the NGK BP6ES spark plugs and brush the carbón off, the car accelerates fine? I have both of my carbs set to 3 turns clockwise. If i lower it more, i start loosing power at 1st gear. - Stock front speaker panel restoration
