I'm looking at another 240. (Not in person, just pictures so far.) This one is (apparently) an early '71 with an automatic. My question is that it has the early emblem on the C pillar - the one with the "240Z" logo. I understand that emblem was only used on the cars with the vents in the hatch as opposed to the vents under the emblem. My question? If I assume that the car does not have vents in the C pillar, then it needs them in the hatch. And the hatch on this car is not original and has no vents. So how important are the vents to the ventilation system? And is it possible that this '71 could have had the early emblems covering the vents? Should I even care? Arne Still …

I just bought a 260 AM/FM radio on ebay. ($25) I know it will not bolt into a '71 (2/71) but what do I need to do to install it in my Z? Once I have taken the faceplate off, it looks a lot like my AM radio. It does not have the antennae switch but I think I can mount that onto this radio. Anyone played with their radio lately? I need some ideas on putting this radio into my Z. I appreciate your comments.

OK I am asking a group of car folks "where to stick it?" My 70 was a work in progress, part of that was aftermarket water and oil temp and oil pressure guages. The oil temp probe(1/4" x 3" approx.) needs a home. Is there a logical place for the probe? Should I add a plumbing nightmare around the factory oil pressure fitting (mechanical oil pressure and the temp probe) hole? Mike

I just drug home a 70 (8/70 #9033) with AT and A/C, been sitting since 84 and all looks original. Had planned on a complete resto(floors and rails main problem) but the motor has me puzzled, it has the L24 stamped but the motor number boss is blank, parked way back in 84 and it looks it, still got the 2400 valve cover, right carbs etc, but I can't see any evidence of a stamping at any time. Oil, soap, brass brush, more soap etc, see nothing, I put a machinist straight edge across the 2 bosses and they are right in line. Looks to me if the number was ground off it would have knocked at least a couple thousanths off. What gives? Will not be a resto(at least by me) if I can'…

I have a 71' 240z that has a working A/C. Of course the A/C kills the radiator. A 240z overheats well enough with out the added A/C. I have ordered a 4 core radiator from MotorSports, but they are back-ordered till they find a new supplier. I'm not sure how long that will take. My car is due to come back from my mechanics in a few weeks, and I need to get a new radiator before then. Any suggestions? Will a 3 core work just as well? Where should I buy a "new" radiator? Mark

Hey guys, right now im "career changing" so it gives me plenty of time to get started on my car. Here are some pics of how my car looked when i bought it. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=8408 The car is pretty clean with only minor surface rust in spots. frame rails, battery tray, and floor pans are all solid as a rock but it has its share of dingers. I just drained all the fluids and probably gonna be takin out the motor and trans tomorrow. I dont exactly know what all im going to do to this car but i am gonna take it down to the shell and get the body perfect and go from there. Im really in no hurry to get it back together so im …
