    I have a valve just like that
  2. I did not notice a disparity between my cylinders because of my non tapered box. I think the capacity was enough not to choke air volume to any cylinder .

    I will speak on rack boots. All the aftermarket I’ve used did not fit as well as stock Nissan boots. Also lower grade of material. Yes they are 5 times the price , but a bad fit will tear faster.

    Wow- that’s terrible - could that even be trimmed up or was it meant to have extra material to be trimmed ?
  5. I think the 37k sell was a bit of a fluke. I think it was the perfect storm of 2 bidders that wanted the car badly. Not saying it wasn’t a clean car, but cloth seat covers :0
  6. There’s only one option- the Nissan CAI

    Anything that cuts- torch , plasma cutter , partner saw would be the fastest

    Yes- makes for a nice heavy stand . Yes - I’ve had one semi successful run and it works pretty well. Need to dial in my technique.

    Cut off wheel(ssss) straightening a n47 head in a kiln

    Alas - the engine block sacrificed for a worthy cause
  13. I am also very lucky - in many ways- but also the fact that I was able to build myself a Z studio behind my house for my playing time .
  14. That’s just not right Chuck - for one man to have all that ?
  15. Sorry guys - I can’t work that way- I think I’m a bit anal . When it starts to look a little cluttered or I can’t find something - it’s time to clean and organize

    Well- not much then. You could sell the rockers if not too bad of shape . Someone might want the stock cam also if it’s in good shape . Springs and stuff aren’t worth much really.

    If I had room I might consider keeping it - but I’m Lucky enough that I already own a very nice Z. I also have another 1972 Z that I want to make a lemons racer with. So right now the plan is to just fix the car up and sell it for funds for my other Z‘s.
  20. Without putting a gauge in there - you still are guessing .

    Is this car a keeper or is going on the market ?
  22. might think about putting a fuel pressure gauge on there to see what’s going on . I had a zxt that was giving me a fits and it was a clogged return line. Showed almost 100 psi at one point - don’t know how things didn’t explode -

    I think you are right Lumens , it all adds up. The diff was open - though solidly mounted . The engine was the sneaky part . I didn’t race or solo cross at all ,so not familiar with the rules as far as mods. So it looks as if he ran a stock cam on a shaved head ,bigger valves , but punched the block out to 86mm- which no one would know unless it was cracked open . It had triple Weber’s and a header at one time . Kind of fun trying to put the puzzle together
