at Monza for sure; but what about for the Helix leading into the Lincoln tunnel?

More work for the spring. Thanks... just one Q: Does the sealant go between the seal and the plastic light housing or between the seal and the body?

"Radio makes funny noise" I think it is called "RAP".

Maybe we need more details. The Jan 71 240z that I took the tail lights off most likely had them off in the past so the glue could have been removed or there was none used in jan 71.

I never used sealant either. The compression of the rubber seemed to be fine. Does the FSM instruct to use sealant?

Nice. You can get curved shifters from other years. 40 DCOE (152 casting) have issues with transition hole spacing. There are some mods to improve things.

Take a look at these and look where the tang points relative to the 6mm threaded hole: Looks like you may be a tooth off on the spindle to drive gear making it too retarded (ccw).

Welcome

Some EZ stuff to make: #1 One step up from KD Can of beans (in molasses or maple syrup) Onions Can of mushrooms Cook all in pot on stove like KD. #2 They will think it is from Paris Pork or chicken Brown meat in butter (not fake stuff) in pan with salt and pepper on the meat Sprinkle Thyme or Rosemary spice along with garlic that you busted with your hands and a bay leaf and fry that in butter too Remove the meat and throw in a beer or wine then boil this with the "stuff/spice/gunk left in the pan" until 1/2 the beer or wine disappears. Add some more spices and water then boil for 1min and voila meat and sauce. Boil some water,throw in fine pasta (angle hair). When done drain the water, add butter and black pepper then mix it up. Put meat and past on plate then throw the sauce on everything. Goes well with white wine. #3 Mexican Breakfast Fry bacon & scramble eggs In separate pan fry chopped red and/or green and or yellow peppers (what ever you got) along with onions. Add some cayanne spice and black pepper and this great Indian/Dutch spicy paste called sambal oelek (just 1 tea spoon is fairly spicy) Mix in the scrambled eggs along with the broken up fried bacon. Wrap in pita bread or similar flat bread.... add some salsa and or sour cream. #3 Almost Thai Fry chicken or pork Add generic "Thai Red Curry Sauce" that you can buy at Loblaws or similar in the foreign food section. Throw in some chopped peppers and/or onions and/or bamboo shoots Make "Jasmine" or "Basmati" rice Throw in some hot Jasmine Tea to drink with it. #4 Indian (EZ PZ) Buy "PC Butter Chicken" package from frozen section of Loblaws where Ethnic food is Buy Naan bread from bakery section of Loblaws where the flat breads are Cook chicken in microwave Heat Naan bread in foil in oven or eat it cold. Tear up the Naan and dip in the sauce. #5 Bacon and Eggs and Tomato's Fry bacon and eggs Fry Sliced Tomatoes in separate pan. Throw lots of black pepper and Cayenne spice on the Tomatoes #6 Turkey Burgers Cook like a burger but use ground turkey #7 Turkey Dogs Cook like a hot dog but use turkey dog #8 Tourtiere Look for Schneider's or A La Table brand Tourtierre in the frozen sections of Sobeys or Loblaws Cook for 30 min. in oven

Amen Tomohawk... service industry seems like it will be a goldmine with the upcoming spoon-fed zombie generation about to be unleashed onto mankind. Sad to say it but the decline has started... your spot-on observations are just touching the surface of how pathetic has become.

Cutting through bumpy corners. Night and day difference.

I like the "out-smell" concept.

Thanks Dan!

Not many desirable components on a 280z motor so sell it as 1. $200-$500 You may be able to sell the head on ebay $100-$300 but then you gotta find a local buyer for the block. If you wanted to get max $ then you gotta disassemble it, clean up the parts, take pretty photos and do the ebay thing... lot of work.

Ah ha, I dug deeper and found that you had the same problem in 2008 and fixed it with a distributor cap and rotor, and now you say a ZT carb fixed it: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?31577-Revving-problem-is-solved!!&highlight= A lot of folks are trying to help you out but you gotta give us ALL THE DATA ....well just don't cry Wolf. Think you got slop in the spindle linking the oil pump to the distributor or in the gear drive off the snout of the crank. Get your buddy's Z over, pull the distributors like you did and compare how the tang at the end of the spindle move when wiggled,lifted,turned. Use a dial gauge rigged up to an extension out of the mounting for emperical measurements. Quick and dirty test that just came to mind: For ease and consistent measurments, use the same distributor on both cars locked down with a dial gauge on the rotor. Any slope in the distributor will be nulled out by using the same distributor. Also repeat this many times throughout a whole revolution of the crank as the problem could be a broken or worn tooth in the drive helical gear. Also try cranking with a socket at the crank back and forth while holding the rotor in your fingers to see how the tang behaves/feels between the two cars.

I don't think it is carbs. I think it is related to any of these -slop in the drive spindle to distributor - slop at crank gear to distributor drive spindle - mechanical timing not correct by PO (crank timing chain and cam) I re-read your early posts and this stuck with me: "Seems I have had this issue since I owned the car in some form of severity or another. When I first bought the car, it would simply NOT rev past 4500 rpm at all. Now I can get it to rev to 6500 rpm thanks to the Z therapy carbs, but now it is popping pretty bad on the top end. " Looks like the ZT carbs may have masked a deeper issue.

hahaha I am curious to know the cause (who/what) inspired this post. btw do you know an easy way to get the smell of 12 dead and decayed mice out of a 280z that sat in Nevada heat for many months?

Open Pandora's box.... go ahead: CLICK IF YOU DARE

You can also still browse the article here.... thank goodness for the NSA.... nothing we write goes unnoticed, unchecked and un-stored .... including this:) I like Tero's statement "My opinion is that if you can't press a clutch pedal you should be sitting at the back. "

A1. My guess is due to your asking.... maybe the 2 cylinders are sprayed at a different time from the 4 for performance or for instantaneous current limiting/distributing the draw from the battery. But as you mentioned... there is no association between the any injection pulse and a specific spark pulse for a cylinder because there is no cam position sensor or plug1 signal to sync the injector to a cylinder. A2. I am there,,,, maybe Sunday or next week. I will ring tomorrow Now back to cooking Chicken Beausejour

You will be happy! Keep us posted on your progress.

IfI recall,the transistors drive 4/2 rather than 3/3. I remember something odd...I'll dig tonight. There are current limiting resistors between the transistor's output and the injector's input. It all becomes more interesting the more you dig. btw why is a carb guy like you stirring it up here with EFI questions?

need photos and more details
