Another option would be to take the old hose to a auto parts store and ask the parts clerk to match the hose with something he's got in stock.

Merry Christmas guys. May St. Nicholaz bring you your Z parts.:classic:

I would leave it also. Most 4 & 5 speed gear boxes are identical in gear ratio 1-4. The fifth gear is a overdrive, which is better for gas milage. A lot of people have changed their 4 speed for a five for that overdrive. And when it comes to the differential unless it is going bad you should leave it alone, just change the gear oil. ED

Try Motorsports they have a pretty decent variety.

I think your biggest challenge is going to be to find a Zed that isn't a rust bucket. Especially in your neck of the woods. It sounds like you already made up your mind on a 240. Depending on how much you are willing to spend most of those mods your thinking about can already be part of the car. For instance a lot of people have already put a 5 speed in a 240. Wheels Tires......etc.... If you have the patience, shop around. There are still a few good Zed's around. The biggest mistake I've seen is people will spend there entire budget on the initial purchase of the car, then you won't have anything to do those mods or upgrades. Happy hunting and good luck!

Sorry, My engine is in pieces right now (It's getting rebuilt). I basically removed what I could since I didn't have to worry about emissions back in California. Question, how often do you have to take an emissions test, every year?

Here's some more.redneck

You bet! Most of the electronics are 30 yrs old. I started to replace most of the relays and other electical components as a preventative measure.

$400.00 the pair sounds too good to be true. Aren't they that much each? Brian, how can you tell they are fake?

Happens to me everytime. I think it's the sound of the engines. It has a hypnotizing effect.:sleep:

C'mon, I thought everyone enjoyed F1. Or are you a left turn only guy?

You will probably have to put the pump and your EGR back on.

I'd forgotten about that post. It's your VR. Replace it and your bouncing meter is no more.

I was told the same thing by a mechanic at Z-whizz in San Diego. I guess ATF is the same as 20wt (or was it 30wt?).

It was a while ago but the guy told me he did have to replace something. Don't know what for sure. But it has been working fine since so I can't complain.

Yup, just when you think your done you always end up getting more. And the earlier you start the more you spend.

On my 73 with 72 carbs I removed everything that had to do with smog. I did leave the PCV valve and the hose that goes from the top of the valve cover to the air intake. Go to the Gallery and check out some of the other members rides. You can get a pretty good idea of what you can get rid of. Most of it probably doesn't work anyway.

You could also install a Catalictic Converter on your exhaust. First you should check with your state's smog requirements. In some states a 30 year old vehicle is smog exempt. Or did I missunderstand you and you are trying to reduce / remove smog equipment currently on your car?

Can you hear the pump, pumping when you turn her over?

What a tool!:stupid:

If you can give us some more info. Like did it slowly come to a stop? Does it turn over? Any unusual noises? Start with the electrical. Does it turn over and do the spark plugs get spark? Next check and make sure the engine is getting fuel. (I can't help you with FI sorry). Let us know. After you eat offcourse.

I would say it depends on how much material is being removed and how much weight is still on the car. If possible pick a couple of points front to rear, top to bottom, side to side and measure before you cut. Then measure again and compare before you start to weld. Just to make sure you don't have a sag going. And on the flip side if you do preload the metal, how much? Good luck.

I wanted to vote on more than one. But I'll just put my 2c. worth on being silly. It IS a great opportunity for relatives to reunite and share a meal.

Yup, you can do anything with a little fab work.:classic:

I trully admire the overspray in the door jamb.
