Amen to that! Back in the early 80's I drove a '78 280Z. In order to pass the test, I had to get an oil change and go right down to the test site. I barely eeked by then

I pulled all the injectors and they all seem to be atomizing the gas pretty good. Like I said I was more concerned about the rate of flow considering that they may have come off of a turbo ZX. Today I pulled the distributor and broke it down to the component level. It was pretty gummed up so I gave it a good cleaning. The bearings are tight and all it's balls are still there. I did notice that even though the plasic plate and balls are in place that one of the 3 wings on the plate has separated from the plate. I' not sure if anyone sells a rebuild kit for this? Anyway I gave it a little oilin and put it back together. I will see if works a little better tomorrow. Thanks everyone for all the great info, but I'm still waiting for a "holly $^!# I forgot that" solution.

New Port Richey, better known as "The Tampa Bay Area" since all the cities around here blend and you can't tell where one starts and one ends.

I got some friends down there. One by USF and other in Apollo Beach. I should give you a call next time I go there.

As long as your boyfriend don't answer the phone :classic:

The turbo injector have a higher rate of flow, so you can't mix and match with the N/A injectors. If you want to run the turbo injectors you can use the turbo AFM with the guts of your N/A installed. As you have it now you run the risk of running lean in the one cylinder with the N/A injector- this of course will happen if you try adjusting the stock AFM to compensate for the higher flow injectors.

Thanks Organdoner. That's what I found out last night. The turbo injectors have a flow rate of about 100cc's higher than non-turbo. I guess it's back to ebay. To top it off my distibutor pretty much fell apart today. Oh yeh don't forget I'm still trying to find my muffler. It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...It's supposed to be fun...

Hey Vicky is that your car in the picture?

[st0878]

Thanks Tomohawk, that was a good link. It pretty much told me that I need a new distributor. It's hard to troubleshoot this problem any further until I first get a distributor and then we will see if the that was the problem or will the injectors still haunt me.

Daisey (my wife) and I met Scott and Vicky at last years MSA show where by the way their 77 was Best of Show. They probably don't remember us since you see so many people in such a setting. He's her husband and if I remember correctly he's a big guy!:classic:
