Has anyone tried these extended headlight buckets for LEDs?
Search for LED list. The updates from October of last year are the latest. Vendors on Amazon change their product lines, so some searching may be required. Auxito for the bulbs Koito via Toyota for the H4 housings or Hella.

And THAT is a good reason to consider their product.

By the way, if you go with the brand bulbs I recommend, they are polarity independent so you don't have to incorporate relays into the headlight circuit.

No. I have done the H4 with LED bulbs MANY times without issue. @HusseinHolland did the same thing with the parts I recommended. No problems.

Why? H4 housings with H4 LED bulbs work fine in stock buckets.

73 240 su flat top to round top swap
The hole on the thermostat is threaded as BSPP. I don't think ACE will have that.

73 240 su flat top to round top swap
If it was easy, why would it be worth doing?

73 240 su flat top to round top swap
What do you mean? The N33 (73) and N36 (74) manifolds will accept round top SU carburetors. Those are the manifolds on my cars, and they both have SU carb bodies attached to them.

While this doesn't directly answer your question, it's still a good (and short) read:

SU flat top bowl drain screw
Nope. No drain screw, at least not on the set I had handy. There was a heat shield on the bottom. The shield covered this: Still no signs of a drain screw, so I took off the bottom of the float bowl. Nice and gunky! Here's a side view of the floats. And the float bowl chamber. No penetrations on the sides that I could see. I'm thinking that valve is TOAST. Anyway, when putting it back together, note that 1 screw is shorter than the rest. The short screw goes where there is an indentation on the bottom cover. Don't dismantle unless you have a new float bowl gasket on hand. And don't buy the cheapest kit since that kit does not have as many gaskets.

Fuel tank evap hose leak and tank fuel level question
Yep, those work great. I even used my impact gun to raise/lower the jack.

78z Fuel Gauge is not working
Is there any chance that the dash harness to body harness connector was disconnected?

Was the key in ON?

78z Fuel Gauge is not working
You have to use a small piece of wire to jumper the black and yellow terminals where the wiring connects to the sending unit at the tank.

78z Fuel Gauge is not working
This test should only be done with the gauge in the car. The voltage regulator needs to be connected for the gauge to function properly. @gotham22 Here is a video of setting up a bench test. Follow the wiring exactly. If you're not sure how it should be wired, stop and ask questions, otherwise, you could damage a gas gauge. I have not been able to ascertain the state of your sanity.

Impossible Oil Leak?
Just because I like resurrecting old threads every now and again, I wanted to add a product review. I put the gasket @Zed Head linked in post #26 in this thread on my ebay watchlist. A couple of weeks ago, I got a "special offer" that knocked $2 off the price. I figured I could spend the roughly $6 to get one of these printed gaskets, and it arrived today. It is much more pliable than the old gasket. The reproduction is 2mm smaller diameter than the gasket on my spare oil cap. It's also not quite as thick. Does it matter? Probably not. It will mate to the sealing surface of the valve cover, and I don't think there would be any gaps. The cap with the new gasket is on the left.

There are little retaining clips you can put on the pins of the emblems to help hold them in place.

I wouldn't be surprised if Randy Jaffe has a copy of the photo if it exists.

@dpascual1986 hasn't been on the site in over 4 years. You probably won't get any feedback.

280Z Fuel Injection to Carb Swap
Are you swapping in a 240Z or 260Z engine? If not, you have to open up the window in the head for the mechanical fuel pump, and you'll probably need to source and install the eccentric for the fuel pump. And let's not discuss the poor quality of aftermarket mechanical fuel pumps.
