1976 280Z Restoration Project
Looks great. I'm trying to decide my plumbing now. Not sure if I want to do all the 6an fancy stuff- but it looks cool. I have to run all new lines from the tank on my 71, so I'm starting from scratch. How many hours do you have in making that intake look that good? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Well I don't know how to save the pic, but here's the link to the pump http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=84/category_id=61/mode=prod/prd84.htm There's a video on how to install. I remind you that I am running a non Z tank, so your results may very:) Not much of a plan but to cut a hole in the top of my tank and drop this in. No surge tank necessary.

That's why I also opted for using my flywheel for the trigger- less stuff Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

But it's just another item you have to find space for and more places for leaks and maintenance . I thought about that route myself , but opted for the in tank option. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I believe Dave offset grinds the crank to his preferred rod/stroke ratio. When he does the offset if creates smaller journals and he utilizes Honda rods. Your project sounds like mine. 75 intake . I just ordered my pump set up from Tank inc. it would simplify things for you if you can make it work on a z tank. No surge tank needed. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

The dreaded oil pan pull!
That's why I said find 4 bolts that are very easy to access and save them for last. You can always set up a jack stand or wood to hold pan for when dropping the last few bolts. The crossmember will help with the front , but you can use something for the back. That way the pan wouldn't hang from any bolts and tweak the pan Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Everything in here for sale- excluding the air box - came in a kit directly from Mikuni- including the air horns. All these pieces were meant to work together to bolt onto your car and go. The kit came with installation instructions and recommended jetting for your motor. The manual shows hp gains made by using this kit. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

The dreaded oil pan pull!
Don't need a right angle drill at all. If the car is jacked up you have plenty of room for standard drill- might use an extension actually Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

The dreaded oil pan pull!
And I use a dab of sealant to hold the gasket to the PAN. And a dab of sealant at the lip seals . You don't need anymore gasket sealant then that Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

The dreaded oil pan pull!
Reduce your time by utilizing a cordless drill to remove and install bolts . A drill with adjustable torque is best . It will reduce time on your back and wrenching of the neck. Pick 4 of the easiest bolts to get to and leave them for last ( at the four corners) . Undo the front 2 first and let the pan rest on the crossmember . Then you will be able to see if the crank needs to be rotated. Then the last 2 to drop pan. I just used a Felpro gasket ( non cork) , get them from Autozone. Make sure pan isn't dimpled at bolt holes , work it flat if needed. Install in reverse order. I usually start all the bolts with my fingers and then use the cordless to set them. Then follow up with a 1/4" ratchet. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

[SOLD] Complete Triple Mikuni Induction system
I could make more , but need to get my own TIG welder . I'd really like to make one for pressurizing , even though I think this cover would handle a few psi . I forgot to mention the air horns in the sale , but I guess the pics say it for me. Lumens is right , it gets expensive when you add it all up. Don't know if I have ever seen a turn key set up like this for sale. Usually manifold and carbs , maybe some linkage . I've seen the 40's carbs go for 2500$ just by themselves Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Long time 240 owner, forum newbie wondering about a triple carb setup.
Comparing my Mikunis to my friends Webers I noticed that some adjustments were easier for me. My 40's allow for a external adjustment of the float . Very accurate too. I believe acceleration pumps are also more accessible on the Mikunis- but can't say for sure of all Weber models . I think Mikunis are more desirable but also more $$.
