Help getting engine started again after 9 years
Check you've attached the fuel hoses thr right way round at the tank and check that you can suck fuel up to the engine bay filter. If you can suck fuel to the engine bay but the fuel pump can't, you need a new fuel pump.

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
My car does exactly this, but has an EZwiring style loom. I've assumed its being backfed from the alternator by the excitor or sense wire and I'll need to add a diode somewhere. I've not bothered to do anything about it yet.

CAD or ZINC.. now we know.
Official documentation from Nissan. Nope, that's not conclusive. An assay of 15 random items from Carl. Yep, that'll do it.

AI - it's not reliable
LLM AI (it used to be known as machine learning, but that doesn't sound so cool) is at best only as good as the source material it wallows in. If you ask it about s30 screw and bolt sizes, you'll get lots of wrong imperial sizes. If you ask it about how and what LHC Cern does, it'll generally be right. Because of who wrote the source material. Broadly speaking, the more popular a topic is, the more likely the LLM is to ingest popular but incorrect info. Its fairly predictable that as the years go by, more and more of the info its ingesting will have been written by the same or another AI (either as primary source or regurgitated by gullible humans). Soon enough the brief era of being able to lookup all of the knowledge of mankind on the internet will be over and all will be AI slop. Or... The investment bubble will burst and we'll be back to where we were.

Installed Pertronix 3 ohm Coil - Car Hesitates, Loses Power at 4k RPM
Sure, there's lots of potential downsides with buying from aliexpress, although Sherryberg are quite a well known brand, even though you've not heard of it. The internet is full of reports of Pertronix being junk, and that's been my experience too. Conversely I know a couple of people who have the Sherryberg distributor and are very happy. This is not rocket science - I find it more surprising that a long standing US brand manages to make a product that fails so often, than that a cheap chinese brand manages to make one that works reliably.

Rocker arm noise when accelerating in 3rd gear! Timing too advance?
It sounds like it. What head, compression ratio, fuel and ignition advance.

Z Restoration Progam
Sounds like the argument for god. "Yes Darwin, Einstein et al, you may have shown how everything that is may have come from nothing, but you've not proved that Nissan didn't ship any cars with cad plate bolts in the 70s"

Z Restoration Progam
It seems to me a lot of weight is being put on what Carl Beck reported of what someone at a materials lab 35 years ago told him. What if the guys in the materials lab were busy, stuck Carl's bolts in the drawer and fobbed him off when he came back? Why would anyone believe such an anecdote in the face of a document from Nissan at the time saying what they used? Just as OEMs today thoroughly check suppliers work against the spec, I'd be very surprised if Nissan in the 70s accepted cad plating when they'd specified zinc.

Doesn't make sense
Fwiw, I think what's going on here is that the logic for which post to go to varies in a number of ways. E.g. if you click on a thread in an activity stream and you've not real all posts in the thread, it takes you to your first unread post. If you've read them all and you're clicking on the thread title then it takes you to the first post. If you click on the post count, it takes you to the last post. If you click on the thread in someone's profile page, it takes you to their contribution to the thread. Etc etc. this is all pretty normal forum behaviour I think.

Will a Triple Weber Canon Intake Work with Jenvey ITBs?
The stud pattern on the jenvey 40 and 45 itbs is the same as the 40/45 dcoe carbs. Thats the point. The itbs come in 3 lengths I think, and I suppose it is possible that the longest ones might be too long. You should be able to measure it up on your car.
