The fitting on the front carb body is a ported vacuum source. It connects to the vacuum canister on the distributor. There is none on the back carb.

Fuel from the tank vents into your engine block when the car is off. When the engine starts, the vacuum changes the path through the valve and vapours from the block are now sucked into the carbs and re-burned.

Get well!

I thought I'd start a game for you all to play: Name that car. All 3 are Japanese. Just name the manufacturer, model, year, colour and body kit. It is E-Z P-Z CAR #1 Mfg. Honda (idoxlr8) Year Model Body Kit Colour CAR #2 Mfg. Year Model Body Kit Colour CAR #3 Mfg. Datsun(idoxlr8) Year Model Body Kit Colour

Looks like someone worked on the engine.

Good stufff Chas! Some diagrams have the heater circuitry and some do not. I think it would be good to include it.

Please do! Hundreds from now and the next 30 or more years will be grateful.

I drove a right hand drive one in Ireland. So intuitive. The road seemingly rolling under my feet was the best experience. I am guessing a modern Lotus or even a Europa would be similar.

It seems to have been a poorly made or corroded crimp connection. Great perseverance! Ken:1 Gremlin: 0

Anyone travelling/living along this route to the event? Trying to organize a convoy and maybe some pit stops in case of troubles https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Halifax,+NS/Bangor,+ME,+USA/Memphis,+TN,+United+States/@39.1482967,-77.728044,5z/data=!4m35!4m34!1m5!1m1!1s0x4b5a211407dbfac1:0x666be3a6438b2ddc!2m2!1d-63.5753196!2d44.6488625!1m20!1m1!1s0x4cae4b46101129bd:0x4d0918b0a7af7677!2m2!1d-68.7778138!2d44.8011821!3m4!1m2!1d-73.724533!2d41.1070227!3s0x89c2bdc9f8145ae9:0x382853a01d0526e1!3m4!1m2!1d-74.3610453!2d41.0980497!3s0x89c319833a95ebfb:0xd74e8efed04a369b!3m4!1m2!1d-74.9552788!2d40.9827532!3s0x89c37e3ca866a779:0x983df20285a0634b!1m5!1m1!1s0x87d57e1eea439745:0xd193f315601ab6fe!2m2!1d-90.0489801!2d35.1495343!3e0 We may head up into central USA then east to Maine on the return leg to see more of the country.

I have to get back to my buddy Dr240z. We'll both be there hopefully in two or three vehicles .

Looks great!

Kats you are a craftsman! In contrast, here in Canada we just put cardboard in front of the radiators.... but we are hill-billies and hicks from the sticks (or organic) That is why few car parts are made in Canada but the boxes they come in are cardboard from Canadian trees.

I just had to grind the valves on my snow blower. I used Permatex Gasket Remover as part of the job.... it bubbled the carbon and gasket like paint stripper.

If it idles all day but won't run under load then it is most likely fuel delivery caused by debris in the fuel tank clogging the lines or pickup. Put a clear fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump to see what is going on. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm You may also want to clean the small filter on the pump inlet port.

time to raise all of your stuff in the house out of reach as walking starts soon

I'll try it if I can find it. Most US wines here are from Calif.

Looks like there are at least two Tomei Intakes for 44mm and 50mm carbs: http://www.frsport.com/index.php?target=catalog&mode=searchImproved&cid=1770 http://www.frsport.com/Tomei-14001R501-Intake-Manifold-Kit-Solex-44mm-Weber-45mm-Carburetor-Nissan-240Z-70-73_p_201637.html http://www.frsport.com/Tomei-14001R502-Intake-Manifold-Kit-Solex-50mm-Weber-48mm-Carburetor-Nissan-240Z-70-73_p_201638.html

The stand-off way out on the left side seems to match. This is a unique identifier. You will have to measure port taper and diameters to absolutely make sure they are the same.

Is the crank offset ground or from a different engine to give more stroke? Are the same rods used? Are the correct sized rod and main bearings used?
