I'm going to dig into the carbs today. My fuel tank will be done this week. I had it boiled, the extra vent ports removed, and it will be lined. I'll "por 15" it and paint it with vht. I just had a guy leave here that will be installing a 10K lift. When sears went out of business these guys bought their lifts. I bought a rotary spoA10 trio from them for $2200. I was getting quotes for lifts when I came across these guys. Awesome deal.

Here it goes again quoting where I don't want quotes. I've got spark at the plugs, but no combustion, even when I spray starting fluid in the carbs?

for what ever reason the forum only allows me to post a response to this post. So here goes, it's not realated to this post. I like the idea of keeping my postings about my car under one thread, if admin suggest otherwise I will try to post under specific topics. Right now I'm trying to start the car. I've go no spark at the plugs. At least I tested the number 1 plug. It's been a long time, and I've done a little reading here, but I'm at a loss. The coil has spark. What next?

I've been looking for an old truck, and have been without a project for a couple years. I have two jeeps that I'm selling to convert to "Z dollars". I forgot how I need a project to keep motivated. I've never even been a passenger in a Z. I've always loved them from a far. This will be the first one I've ever actually been in.

Done. Only one vent

Thank you for taking the time to so clearly point this out. I know it takes time to make it this clear, but I really appriciate it.

I’ve got the newer oil spray bar on it’s way here. Thanks for all the help.

Sorry. I decided to hold on to them.

Where is the return. I had no idea there was a return. I can probably figure it out. I”m assuming it’s a line from the engine back to the tank. But why? What fuel is returned.

I’m having a blast with this Z. I think it’s too early to start looking for another one. Is there a cool Datsun truck around 1970 that would pair nice with the 70 240Z? Just an idea

I’m ready to turn it over now. My fuel tank is out. Can I connect a fuel line to the inline fuel filter and drop it in a can of gas? Bad idea, good? Also on the Oil spray bar, can I leave the valve cover off and check the spray? Or will that be a big mess?

Are you telling me that none of the vent tubes are necessary?

Thank you. I set the valves cold. It took me awhile to figure out that keeping the lock nut fairly tight helps. Also, I took the gauges out of the stack and then just put them on the outside of the stack for the next time I need them.

I called and had them reverse the vent tube that has a "u turn" in it.

I sent you an email about the oil spray bar on the right. Your email didn't work. I'd like that one on the right?

Does the vent line that has a "U turn" in it need to have that u turn for a functional reason? If not, I think I'll have the guys that are cleaning my tank reverse it? Good idea, bad?

" Oh yeah, the motor is tilted. Take a Sharpie and draw a center line on the cam towers to use for getting the lobes pointed up right". I'm not sure what you mean by this. Can you try explaining another way? Sorry, I want to understand, I'm just a little slow some times?

I got the fuel tank out. Off to get it cleaned and lined. A stop at harbor freight to pick up some xl 7mm glove and a crows foot for torquing my valves. If I was to make a tool for adjusting valves what would it look like ? has anybody done this, or is there a special tool already made.

If it's that important, is it possible to get a new one?

This is the one. Thank you. Great stuff.

I've been reading about fuel tanks. Some of the links have been on here since Al Gore invented the net. Is POR still the thing to use? Is there a better product? Or a similar product that is the latest. Since I know nothing about 240z, and I've heard about fuel fumes in the cabin, how can I eliminate the possibility of fumes ?

ordered. Thank you.
