Best ways to improve street performance while keeping it mostly original
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 ++

Replacement Muffler Advice (78Z)
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

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

5 Speed Transmission
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.
