Well, I just took the 73 on a very short drive and when I was about half way home the car started to sputter, it got worse the more you feed it gas, but you could come off the pedal and rev it in neutral. I put it back in gear and started down the street and again it sputtered and you could notice that it had a loss of power as well....... I am no mechanic so any feedback would be appreaciated. Could it be: Fuel filter spark plugs bad gas or something more serious... Thanks, Mally

I just picked up a 70 240 a few weeks ago. It smokes a little at idle but looks like cheech and chong in the car when it's reved. It has the smell of oil, not gas. What I've done so far- I took the carbs apart and cleaned them and put them back together. It was running rich by looking at my plugs, which were replaced. Carbs were synced. I checked compression and it's 140 across all 6. So it's not the rings. It runs GREAT but just smokes. The only thing I can think of is valve seals or maybe a readjustment of the carbs? If it's the seals, can they be replaced with the head on the car? The car is in very good condition for a driver, but if I go tearing things apart I mig…

I have a Nisondenso compressor from a Honda that I would like to use on my 72 240z. It fits where the smog pump mounts but must be mounted upside down so the fittings face away from the motor. Does anyone know if this compressor can be operated upside down without ruining the unit? Bob M

Tried to start my 240Z after about 1 month of idle time. The battery was fully charged, and I was getting spark, but noticed a nice coat of oil on the plugs. I know the car needs a ring job, but I've started the car many times in the past with no issues. This go around, the starter turned, but the engine never catches - not even a cough. Any ideas?

Well after a year of having my Z its finally on the road. The only problem is that i believe the differential mount is broken. It makes a thumping sound every time im changing gears from the rear of the car. I was wondering what was the name of the mount so I could replace it. Hopefully i won't have to special order it.

You know how when the ignition isn't off and the fuel guage reading is all the way to the left side of the guage past the "E" mark? I was kind of curious if this is how far the line actually goes until the tank is completely out of fuel, something I'm not going to try but was curious about.

I just tuned my 1973 240z which has a 390 cfm Holley 4 Barrell carb. It runs super once wamed up,. It was an Arizona car and actually had the choke butterfly clamped wide open all the time. For starting in Arizona - I'm sure this was fine, but since I live in the upper Mid-West, I need the choke for cool and cold days to effectively start it. Question : 1) Should I use a Manual Choke since the car is equipped with the lever on the console and choke light? 1a) If yes - has anyone wired up the choke light and can give me tips on where to connect the choke switch to the wiring harness ? 2) Should I use the Holley automatic choke and have it calibrated and adjusted for my …
