Hi,

just information,Mr.Harigae found and bought S30-00002.The car is almost unable to restore but very interesting to look at it.

If I have a chance to see it,I would like to see a wiring harness and check date on the decal,I guess S30-00002 was born in June or July 1969.

Hi Chris:

The picture on the Left, the one from #26.. is the same as the one on #20. The picture on the Right, looks the same as an air cleaner from a late Series I that I have (around 10/70).. I do not know for certain that it is the original air cleaner on that car however.

I can not see the third one well enough to be able to telly anything.

Carl & Chris, I thought the '71 240Z series II cars like mine had the damper for winter summer driving. The series I cars were w/o the damper.

http://www.ztherapy.com/ has a good write up on the differences. Look under the Z tab and scroll down. i have been thinking of buying a refurbished one for my '71 from them.

Hello everybody,

My '73 240Z has a blue air cleaner. It has the flapper in the "snoot" that can be toggled for winter/summer driving. The snoot has a large, round port on the bottom that connects to the heatshield on the exhaust manifold to supply warmed air for winter driving. The backing plate has a port that angles downward, but is currently capped off with a section of hose with a plug in the end. I'm guessing this would have tied into the smog pump somehow. None of the air hoses were hooked up to the smog pump when I bought the car, so I've since removed it.

I would have to say it is not original to my car, as somewhere in it's life before I purchased it the square top carbs were replaced with round tops.

I've attached a couple of pictures of the blue air cleaner from my gallery. I can take a close up of the decals, but it will be a few days. My Z is currently at the shop having the valves in the rebuilt engine adjusted, and a new header & exhaust system installed.

I think you are correct, jmark. However, there appears to be several different kinds of series I air cleaners. Upon further research, I have my original, a later series I version with an additional fuel line breather hose, and what appears to be an air cleaner for an S20 engine - early.

But speaking of distributors....

Here is a picture of my special distributor. A tool made for pumping oil through an engine on the stand. The body has been carved away so that a drill motor can be attached to the shaft and drive the oil pump. Not exactly stock.

Hi kenz240z, Blue air cleaner I saw it some times in Japan too.I think blue one is nothing different just color.Remember I post before the car which is seen in the earliest service manual have a blue air cleaner.This is interesting.

26th-Z,I found your distributer's shaft maybe the rarest according to parts catalog."xxxxx-21005" is superceeded -21006 in Nov 1969.I think this change could be a first time among of HLS30 hole parts.

The first picture is of the throttle linkage end from 26 and 27. The second picture shows four of the same linkage parts. The two on the left are early. The one in the middle with the curved end is a later version. Notice the one on right is upside-down. What is that?

Maybe from LH drive car ???

26thZ,

The throttle linkage on the right could be from a 260Z.

When I first bought "Precious", she had a pair of ALIEN SU's fitted that were set up in a very fire hazardous manner. After being advised by several members to fit 240Z carbs, I did so, but found the accelerator pedal very stiff, causing very rapid acceleration when the pedal was forced.

Fortunately, a mate who has four Zeds and lots of bits and pieces solved the problem by fitting a 240Z throttle linkage. He pointed out that the spacer ?? between the carby and the manifold on a 260 is much thicker than a 240's, making it necessary for the end of the throttle linkage to be at a different angle where it joins the accelerator linkage.

Having fitted the 240 throttle linkage, my car's acceleration was as smooth as silk.

Interesting point Rick! That sounds like the same problem I have had with my car since I fitted the 240Z carbs. I'll look into it.
