so I just need to know how to set the cam on my 240 Z at top dead center. Long story short, I put a new cam in and forgot where the last one was set on the timing gear, so I just set the motor at TDC and figured I do it from there. Thanks Parker

Hi Currently swapping my single carb for some dual SU's from a 240Z, and have a question... I have the non-stock air filter, so how should I connect the hose thing coming off the top of the head? Most other hoses and stuff line up pretty perfectly (with the exception of some weird things at the back and the throttle/choke). Here are some pictures I found for reference.. see what I mean? http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3508&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5777&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 The little air filter thingy on hte second one looks mighty fine, but I'd rather not…

After carefully looking at my tank after getting it from Moyers I noticed that there were no openings in the baffle to allow fuel to level from one side of the baffle to the other. I called Moyers and they were not very helpfull. At best they said if I shipped it back they would look at it. I used a dremil tool an a long piece of wood and was able to open a slot between the baffle and the tank about one inch long and about 1/32 wide . Is there any one out there that can tell me how large should the openings be and where they are located. I am sorry I didn't look at the tank that carefully before I sent it out. Apparentlly the lining material they used sealed of…

Hi! Just installed some dual SU's from a 240Z in my K-car and lo and behold they don't just work like a good obedient set of carbs! Life is never easy!!! It cranks over, and gets some spark, but nothing else... not even a hint of wanting to start. Tried some "Start ya bastard" but to no avail... Any thoughts? :disappoin

I am just getting into the whole thing of restoring old nissan zeds and am interested in purchasing a 240z for a first car and restoring it over time. However i have little information on doing this and the costs involved. Can someone tell me what it takes to get these cars into reasonable condition eg costs involved, common problems with these cars? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

I have a '73 240z with a '78 280z engine and a '79 280z 5-speed transmission. The tranny makes noise in all gears except 4th. Not horrible, just more than would be expected. It shifts easily, stays in gear, and operates beautifully. Any ideas about the noise? Thanks Bill D.

Ok my problem. The other day my battery died. It was almost dead low on water so I filled the battery up charged it and everything is great, fired right up. I take the z to work which is all highway. I have a mile to the hwy and it's running fine reving as high as I want it to rev. Get on the hwy cruising at 60-65 reving and running fine for about 3 miles. Then all of a sudden it just dogs down. I have the peddle to the floor and it won't rev higher than around 2000rpm and my speed drops down to like 25-30 mph on the hwy. I take the next exit and after a minute I can get on it again reving it as high as I want to not loosing any power. Coming home it did the same thing…

I just got my fuel tank back from Moyer renu. They did a very nice job but wnen I looked inside I noticed a baffle between the shallow tank section and the large tank section. The supply to the fuel line is in the shallow section on the other side of the baffle. The baffle is about three inches high. I do not see any way for fuel to get to the supply line once the fuel gets below the baffle level. Once the fuel is exhausted in the shallow end there would be considerable fuel in the large end that would be left with no way of getting on the other end of the baffle. Could the material they used internal to the tank closed off any pasaageway. I hope you can unders…

I just completed installing my rebuilt head. Rebuilt the carburetors and have new mechanical fuel pump. (1971 Z). I CAN NOT GET ANY FUEL TO THE CARBURETORS. The fuel tank is filled to the top. I tried blowing back air from the line at the filter but no luck. Is there something internal to the tank that would prevent fuel from getting into the fuel line? Looking for any suggestions. If I give the carburetors a shot of ether the engine runs for short time. Al Squillante
