you should hear the pump near the passengers butt location in the right side wheel well when cranking. Check for 12 volts at the pump when cranking.

" Shaved rear end, no bum"

Sounds like a whirring buzzing belt or bearing. Worn lobes "clack".

Not mine:

This adjustment sometimes helps the way a Z "feels". http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/steering/racktension/

Cool... who needs the waybackmachine when we got this!

Nice!

Is the reverse switch (or the plug in the "other hole" for the neutral switch) causing the binding you experienced?

The light comes on when the handbrake switch grounds the circuit or when the differential pressure switch in the engine compartment grounds the circuit. A wiring fault shunted to ground (abrased or simply a connector touching the body) can also cause the light to appear.

Keep it. Get a shell. Refresh and paint the shell. Migrate the parts.

Here is what it looks like inside the booster on a Jan 71 Series 1 240z

Always glad to help another Z friend! After you do this job once, you will be speedy every other time the future.... right of passage.... welcome to the world of the valve train.

You may have to rotate the cam cw or ccw a degree to help with alignment of the sprocket with the cam nose.

Yeah I hear you. It looks easy in the pics but assembling, sliding it all together, greasing, working in the grease, and fitting the rubber boot all at one time is a fun task. Glad to save you some agro.

I saw a valve cover do airbox duty. Top End may have something too:http://www.racetep.com/ztripdcoe.html

I think so... maybe "Stonehenge" Midnight Blue (here) as a tribute to the man. I am also thinking "Blue" will become "whitey" and migrate to track-only duties in Japanese racing attire....I have a g-nose waiting and Team Zero calling. It will be a fun year.

I would not drive it in San Francisco or near a Mary Kaye convention but other than that, it is safe on any street... it is just a stock 280z with nice big wheels and flares. So sad about the stink. It needs to be gutted.

If you have enough pressure and flow from the pump then enlarge the orifice in the tip of the return line on the fuel rail to get more "cooling effect" (heat extraction) from the fuel that only passes through the rail and back to the tank.

You got it Pontiac!

Yup, got an LD28 crank and block just wait'n to take over.....and get the trash outta the neighbourhood. SBC? You need a mullet to understand.

Not much to report yet. I have to get it to my infamous grey gravel driveway. Of the mods I know of, it has something called SBC that must come out first.

2nd from left btw "Pinky" is "Stinky"~ 20 dead mice when it arrived.

Wet Silverstone practice now.
