What did you do to customize thos emblems. I have a 71' as well and want to use the same emblems. mdixon@thoughtware.org -
I have the exact same problem with the rear rocker piece, as well as the bottom of my driver fender. How did you fix that? Please let me know. mdixon@thoughtware.org Thanks, Mark -
Thanks for your advice. I thought about rebuilding the carbs myself, but was a bit intimidated about doing it correctly. It sure would save a lot of money to spend on other things. Like I said I have had Z's before but never really done any work to them. I guess I will try to re-build the carbs myself, but I'm not sure I am qualified to open the engine. I wish I had someone who knew about Z's in North Georgia who could help me do this stuff. Thanks again, Mark

I bought a 71 240 for less than $800. I have had 3 240z's in the past but never tried to restore one. The interior on this car was in mint condition(well worth the $800 alone). It was not in running condition when I bought it, but I cleaned the carbs, replaced some hoses, new plugs, dist. cap & points, and now she runs. Not well but she runs. Some days she fires on all 6 cyl. and some days only on a few. I plan on buying a pair of reman SU's from Z therapy soon, but untill then the manifold is leaking so much fumes it is hard to stand in my garage while the car is running. I want to buy a header and new exaust so I can at least try to work on it a bit. I do notice a great deal of black smoke coming out of the exaust. Will that quit when I get new carbs and adjust the timing and valves. Thanx, Mark
