If you back off the timing say to 7 BTDC does the idle drop? If you advance to timing does the idle change? or There is a push pin on the bottom of the carb that lifts the piston. Does the idle change?

Where do you have your timing set and does your vacuum advance work? What RPM is your idle showing?

Do you have a volt meter other than the one in your car. If you do attach it to the battery. You should have around 12.4 - 12.6. Start the car increase RPM to over 1500 and check the voltage. You should get 13.8 to 14.1. If not it may be a bad alternator.

Does anyone know if a 1978 5 speed from a 620 truck is a direct bolt in to a 240?

I saw his web page is down today. I paid 1144.00 + 230.00 shipping. I think his current prices are higher.. I believe his headers are in the $500 range before shipping. This Header is basically new and never been torqued down. I always offer satisfaction guarantee on any part I sell. Shipping in US is probable less than 100. I am guessing closer to $60. It should be direct fit to his full system.

I thought so too. It’s only a matter of funds.

Wow so sorry. Had a similar experience in 2012 that resulted in another Z I like better without much additional out lay. Don’t let the insurance company off the hook. Start coping recent sales you can find. Also watch the kids close I did have pains show up for a few day later that lend to a year of therapy and a decent settlement. Glad to hear they okay.

@Garm thanks for responding . Knowing your experience certainly helps when offering feedback. Those are some great cars . Welcome to the club your experiences will be helpful to others. ps I have done the Subaru R180 conversion and the R200 with a new Quaife also if you want to consider that.

@Garm here is my 2 cents dashed on your initial post. Sounds like you are new to this car and possibly Zcars. If that is right my recommendation would be get as much seat time to find out what you like/dislike about it. Make some notes. Hiway speed at what RPM. Think about how much and how often you would actually do that kind of driving. Most stock 240s will run all day long at 70 MPH and capable of pushing out over to 100 MPH. If you get to a point that you are serious about a transmission swap consider so things that come to my mind having put a 83 close ratio in an early 72. How much money is available to commit? A rebuilt wide ratio trans will run $1200+. A close ratio us to1600+. used one a a gamble. Then new clutch? fly wheel? Throw out bearing? Rear seal? Adapting a shift lever to fit your particular car. then there is the diff. can you live with the one you have? My thinking is A 3.70 or 3.90 is needed. hard to find in R180 form. a close ratio could go to a 4:11. Put your car on a jack or stands. Put piece of tape a wheel and one on your driveline. Rotate the wheel and note if both wheels turn in the same direction and count the number full turn you make and how Many turns the drive shaft turns. The more turns you make the better and in multiples of 10. shoot photos of your current diff from side and back . Post what what you get and where you want to go and you will find tons of help here. it’s what these guys do best.q Ps nice car these cars a fun ride in multiple ways.

More Red Flags. Mmmmmmmm

It is possible to have a poorly adjusted choke cable preventing it from opening all of the way. Or causing the butterfly to stay open.

My experience is that when the warm idle speed is in the 750 range with SUs a cold start would require the use of the choke. Both my roadster and my Z have been the same. Cold start to me would be after the car has sit for a day or so I would choke to about 3/4 (depends on how you have the cables set) and may require a couple of tries of 10 seconds before it will catch. I immediately back off the choke to get it to idle at about 1200 or so and then gradually back off the choke to maintain the idle. After driving my will start without choking during the day. I am using Ztherapy SUs. I will let others weigh in on if that is “Normal” based on their experience. Could be another interesting discussion. Your question is making me question my “normal”.

Doesn’t seem right to set the idle speed while the engine is cold. I have always did tuning based on warm/hot engine. Living in the NW cool weather has always meant using the choke to hold idle speed during cold starts and then increasing idle speed as engine warms. Having a throttle lever helps elevate that increasing idle during warm up.

You show be able to reach the hazard switch by just removing the radio and heater vent defrost face plate. A job in its self. But going back what makes you think that has anything to do with brake light failure. If everything works except the lib rake light I would consider the brake light switch. Have you checked it.

Are you looking for just the clamp or the check valve too. I have several off early Zs.

Mike I finally located the one I have. I bought it for the door but the rest maybe able to be used with some work.

Looks like it’s gone.

72 doesn’t have a relay. The harness goes from the blower motor over to the radio and other connections in clouding the ground.

Looks like it has possibility best of luck to you. You are in the right place to get answer to problems.

Mike I have one that you might be able to us. I go digging for it tomorrow.

Waiting the Seattle summer to arrive ETA is July 4th. The Z is ready to roll out of storage.

Dropping the pan makes the gasket suspect. If you lower it you might as well take it out. Once it is down all the way rotate the crank so the pan will clear number one cylinder crank counter weight. I cleaned up the pan gave it a new coat of paint used gasket sealer to attach the gasket and waited over night to install it. are you going to do the timing chain?

Our local Nissan dealer and club sponsor will look them up if you give them the part number, but they aren't good at finding the numbers on the old cars. Usually takes couple days to get. Let me know if you want help.
