Oopps, I did mean Silvia. Don't know why I spelled it that way. Probably because I have an Aunt Sylvia. Cant seem to edit my previous post. Chris A.

Hi Justin, Shoot some pics of the engine for us. We can at least advise you on what fuel system is in it now. I swapped an L28 (2.8 liter) into an older model and you can just bolt on the carbs and manifolds. Very high interchangeability with these engines. Some guys go crazy and swap in a complete turbo motor with injection computer and all the wiring as well. Makes for a quick little beastie. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Someone will answer. Chris A.

Welcome Justin, Can you tell us where you're located. Any members here that are close to you would probably help you out if needed. From your pictures I think the car looks pretty good. Check the archives here for where to look for rust. I'd love to have a 260Z. Nice find. Chris A.

It will take a little time for Administration to approve your pictures. They should be stored in your personal gallery. If you click on the Photo Gallery link in the Main Menu on the left of the main page, you'll get to the main gallery and you'll find another link that says "My Photos". That's were they'll be. At least that's how I do it. Thanks for the pics you've posted so far. Love that Cherry. Chris A.

Correct, in the US, the L20A 6 cylinder was never seen unless in those rare circumstances the car was brought in from a different world market. The L20B 4 cylinder was very common in models sold in the US. I had a 1977 200SX (S10 Sylvia) with a superbly built L20B with twin carbs and lots of Electramotive goodies. It was a really ugly car on the outside, but had a nice interior and was wicked fast with the modded motor. FWIW, Chris A.

Welcome Kari, Enjoy your stay here. I had an old 79 Datsun 310 which I think would have been a Sunny in other parts of the world. Regards, Chris A.

I thought it was OG.....Vilonia's own. :laugh:

Jeff, sent you a PM. Chris A.

Stephen gave you good advice. 1973 240Z flat tops were Hitachi HMB46W-1 or HMB46W1 depending on what you're reading. I dont know if the 260Z carbs were exactly the same model or not. I'd bet they were very similar if not the same. Have fun with your project. Chris A.

And now you're gone and I will always wonder what the above quote is supposed to mean. ????????????????????? Hey, thanks for sharing!

Hi Mike, Count me on the interested list. I have another 73 with all the dealer fixes except the hood vent. I think it'd be neat to have it. Chris A.

As a matter of fact.........http://www.brockersbeautys.com/htm/46.htm

Bill is enrolled at the University of Arkansas this year. I remember what it was like to be a freshman at a new school in a new town far from home. GO BILL GO!!! Anyway, what is the worst part of this club? Members with huge amounts of knowledge leaving for one reason or another. Bambi and 2ManyZ's, etc. Overall, the worst parts are very insignificant IMO. Chris A.

Hey Caleb, I thought it was spam at first also. But based on both his threads so far, it might be a legitimate question. I'm in the "Rust Belt" so I won't offer any opinions about the cars or their availability in my area. Chris A.

I once pestered a guy for two years to sell me a set of those wheels like on the blue car. He had them on a junker 280 in his back yard. He'd wouldnt sell because "he was gonna fix it up". I offered him $200 bucks for them even. Awhile after, I noticed the car was gone, so I asked him where the car was, he said he'd had it hauled off for scrap. $85 bucks if I recall. :stupid: Chris A.

LOL Luckily I've got space in a barn a friend of mine has on his property. After 19 years she's forgotten what all I have stored there. :devious: Besides all my Z parts and three Z cars, there's an old Mini Cooper, a 57 Chevy Bel Air and a 72 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. I'd love to buy those 5 Z's but that's a long trip and a LOT of gas. I'd love to have the lot just for the wheels on this one. Chris A.

Now that's what I'm talking about! You'll get there, take your time and do it right, you'll be rewarded each mile after mile. Chris A.

Hey Caleb, those wheels did clean up nice. Looks good. And I see why you got a Z, dude you're like 6 foot 5 already and still growing! :laugh: I've always loved the leg room in the Z car and I'm only a runty six footer. Best of luck and most of all have fun with the Z! Chris A.

Umm...500 strands in a 14 gauge wire on a car is overkill in my opinion. We use this....never fails. You can order it online. http://order.waytekwire.com/IMAGES/M37/catalog/218_004.PDF

All the parts houses in my neck of the woods stock 10,12 and 14 gauge. My own shop stocks 10 and 14. That's plenty big in my opinion. FWIW, Chris A.

Holy crap Adam, I don't even know what to say about that................

So you'll come and do mine for steak and beer? My COD is leaving the right front strut gland nut loose.

Hey Mike, Is that for those of us who mushroom a spindle pin? Chris A.
