Top Dead Center
@siteunseen help me under why it so important on a stock engine that maybe more than 20 years old. I use a timing light with a dial back and it seems impossible to tell a difference of 2 or 3 degrees Unless it’s a highly tuned motor there so many other things that vary how well it runs. How many timing degrees might there be between when when the piston reaches the high point and when it starts to move down. Just curious. 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

Okay so do you know if you have compression pull the plugs and run a compression check or just put you finger in the plug hole. Could the valves be bent or frozen in place. Compression will tell you. Check the oil in the carb and lift the piston let it drop. Compression spark and fuel is all that needed except the timing could be way off???? 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

Pretty big day today 70 240Z
Great idea. I have been doing that for years. ZCCW member get a discount from our sponsor. I find the parts numbers, replacement number and go to the parts counter. Their system can verify the parts if you give them the numbers, but they don’t seem to be able to look up numbers for early cars. 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

California 1978 Datsun 280z Restomod
Don’t second guess the water pump do it while the front cover is off. Order a stainless steal front cover bolt set. Just pulled my front cover and two water pump bolts snapped in side the front cover. I was lucky. With the front cover off I was able to use penetrating oil, heat and a good set of vice grips. Good luck and enjoy the process. 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

I’ll dig through my photos from years ago. But here is how I would describe it. The inner wire of the cable has a medal button attached to it at the very end. In front of it is a nylon looking grommet shaped to snap into the back side of the tab at the top of the gas petal. That grommet allow the gas petal to ride on the inner wire and allows the gas petal to move freely until the lever pulls the wire to make contact. When the lever is pulled back it holds the gas petal at that position. Works good for holding a higher RPM at cold start without using the choke. Aids in warming a cold engine. It could be used for increasing idle speed for sync the carbs but SUs have a screw for that. Really doesn’t do much. 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.- keep blowing the fuse for the dash lights/tail lights/park lights, Please help.
One way would be to disconnect all of the items you just installed. Add a new fuse. Turn on the light circuit and if the fuse doesn’t blow start adding one light at a time while the lights are power up until they go out. That will tell you where the problem lies. Look for a short or a misplaced wire. You may have one of the ground wires switched.

@26th-Z that is a great point. Most do not know the correct petal is needed.

Yah sorry I should have said that I didn’t have any direct knowledge about the car or the trans. I noticed the shifter location early in the auction and asked the question. The seller took days to even response and apparently doesn’t know or understand what was done. Hope the buyer isn’t surprised when they figure out what they got for The $. I am still curious why you would even think to do that to that car. 72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler. - I've been looking for a project
