Clutch issue 1 2

This seems fairly common on the forums, my clutch doesn't have pressure in it anymore. The general consensus is to bleed the slave cylinder to get any air out, but I don't know where it is! How do I locate my master/slave cylinder to find the bleeder valve?

I am going to be putting on all the new hoses and have a stupid question. I have removed all the old after market air from the engine bay and the hoses were cut back to the firewall. Regarding the unit in the passenger side footwell, would you remove it? I don't ever plan on installing air but wasn't sure that piece should come out, is it a pain to take out or pretty straight forward. I'm assuming I just need to plug the holes in the firewall. Thanks for any input. Randy

Well folks, thought I had my ticking sound licked with a valve adjustment. On the road trip back through Washington, the tick came back with a vengence. Something was hammering pretty hard under the valve cover and it was loud. Also noticed some excessive oil consumption. Oddly no visable leaks and no visable smoke, but there is some soot in the tailpipe. Pulled into Spokane with the 72 240Z. Found a mechanic with some experience on old Zcars. Pulled the valve cover, and I expected to see something as prominent as the noise. Nothing too obvious was there. Valves were adjusted again. Still very loud ticking. Eventually it was determined that four of the rocker arms…

Should there be a gasket between the fender and the headlight case ? I did not see one listed in MSA or Black dragon. I used 3M seam sealer between the fender and the headlight case and since it has been painted it does not look good at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Darrell 240Z

i was on the long drive back from my z car club yesterday, and my z started overheating and i didn't notice until it was too late. long story short, she'll start up but there's water in the exhaust now, and a steady leak coming from between the head and the block, right in the center. i'm hoping it's just a blown head gasket, but i may have warped the head. does it sound like anything else to yall? can i unbolt the head and look at the surface of it without removing the manifolds? if i end up needing to replace the head, what can i expect to pay for one for a '76 280? i still don't know why she overheated in the first place. i just checked my coolant a few days ago, and i…

Was hoping to fire up the engine today when it occured to me the inlet and outlet heater hoses are not on. The old one's were trashed and I simply forgot to order new one's. Does anyone know if a straight flexable generic hose from autozone, etc will work.....any idea what size? I know the correct hoses had bends in them, but if you guys think a "regular hose" with a clamp will work let me know. Thanks,

It's come a long way and now I am looking at the air conditioner. For a 77 coupe, does anyone suggest a replacement that will provide more cold air and blower? Does not have to be original - looking for an upgrade here. Thanks
