  1. Engine idles dead flat and under acceleration it runs smooth and strong. It does however surge during light acceleration or trying to hold a steady 40 mph (for example). Vacuum leak? Smells like it’s running rich, not sure? Carbs rebuilt for the Z Therapy folks in OR, New distributor, Cylinder head, timing chain ++
  2. Seems like the only option. Thanks.
  3. Had the "Sound of Speed" guys do a new pipe and Turbo muffler system. For me it's way too LOUD. I was told this is close to the original muffler set up. Anyway they said they could install and 18" resonator in the middle of the car. I get the feeling from talking to them that this will not make it much quieter. Any advise for the group is appreciated. Thanks in advance. CG
  4. Nothing from Hung Vu. I sent him a message throu FB yesterday. He's active on FB.

  7. I haven't received a response from theguppies. Email, message directly and a phone call. Maybe they are on vacation.

    I agree. Fix it right the first time, then go out and play.

    My original factory clock on the 1971 240Z stopped at 5PM. Must mean "Happy Hour". wouldn't mind getting it replaced. Cheers!
  10. I sent them an email and a message. Thanks again.
  11. I'd like to order mats for my 1971 240 Z
  12. That's what I'm looking for thanks. I'll see if I can find Guppies
  13. I like the 30 products. I got a fuel tank and door moldings from them. $645 for the mats + shipping is too much for me at the moment. Thanks
  14. Okay good news. Thanks for that. Soo now I need to find a good transmission.
  15. Looking for some nice rubber floor mats with Z logo. Also need a glove box door
  16. It's been a year + & $28K for the restoration on my 1971 240Z. Just today added insurance and been driving around. Happy with the motor suspension results. Planning on driving back and forth to SLC to see my kids and thought I'd rather have a 5-speed transmission. Haven't found a trany yet. Wondering if I'll be able to change out the trans without pulling the motor? Original 4-speed feels strong 73200 originals on it.
  17. Good read. Thanks for sharing. My Z is running strong and is now at the upholstery shop. First time it's been on the raid in 15 years.
  18. Fuel Tank is Now Only $20 bucks.

  21. Jenny’s having a look around. She just had hip replacement surgery so she’s in recovery Thank you
  22. I just ordered the stuff from Amazon. Thank you.
  23. A Video I watched from Z Therapy showed a wrapped fuel & return line, they talked about possible vapor lock due to heat. What suggestions can I glean form the group?
