HLS30-27602 - RIP On the plus side, so far at least 9 other 240Zs in 6 states have benefited from this car's demise. -

Vintage aftermarket Pioneer radio - a period alternative to a stock radio. -

The steering wheel for 12746, after stripping and re-painting the spokes. The rim was pretty good, so I left it alone. It has 'patina'. -

Picture of my set of 'D' hubcaps. Second version with continuous retaining clips, apparently came from a car built around 5/71. -

Yes, trying to replate the smog stuff would be real difficult. Was there any of the original stencilling left on the parts to try to match?

Darrel, I have an early driveshaft that is already out of the car. I'll try to remember to dig it out and measure it for you. If you don't hear from me soon, PM me.

Nope, mechanicals can fail in just this manner. I've had it happen just like this on Chevy V8s. The diaphragm can be affected by heat - get it warm and it stops pumping. Let it cool and pumping resumes.

It would be helpful if you entered your location in your profile, Ron. That way some of us may be able to help you find one.

Uncertain, Marty. The factory fiche shows a different driveshaft assembly for up to 8/71, and 9/71 on. But all the individual components (main shaft, and yokes on both ends) are the same up through 11/74.

If you used a paint that simulates cast aluminum it'd probably look fine. I have already begun cleaning mine using a mild acid-cleaner designed for chrome wheels and hubcaps. It also claimed to be good for cast aluminum wheels, but warns against using on polished wheels. Sure enough, it really dulls the polished areas, but does a really good job of cleaning the cast areas.There are two drawbacks to it - the obvious one of needing to re-polish the wheels afterwards, and also that while it will clean corrosion and dirt off nicely, it won't eat through road tar or paint. I found that some of mine had paint between the spokes, and the acid cleaner does nothing much to it. So I'm going to have mine dipped and stripped first, then polished. If necessary, I will paint between the spokes later.

I already had that thread bookmarked, as these were one of my preferred choices for this new car.

Nothing new from me. While I was researching this I got distracted and purchased a vintage set of 14x6 Appliance Wire Mags instead. So now I'm no longer looking into Konig caps, but preparing to order aftermarket caps for my Appliances instead, which are in the middle of being polished.

Could be the filter problem, but not fusible links. The fusible links are electrical, and they either work or they don't. Not intermittent. Another thought is fuel pump(s). They can fail when hot but work when cold...
