Searching for 240z part

[AZ-240z]

Hello All. First I would like to offer best my wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season to everyone.

In my quest for originality, I have been searching for a part which I haven't found on our Parts CD. This is the rubber grommet which is used for the antenna mast and motor drain tube which located in the rear deck below the antenna location. I know that the grommet is shaped similarly to the throttle rod boot in the firewall, but, I would really like to find the real deal.

Although the CD has been invaluable to me, I am hoping that some of you may have a more complete paper parts catalog showing a part number for this item. It would, also, be terrific if someone had one of these grommets still intact and could post a good picture of it.

I know that this is a very obscure part, rarely seen unless you crawl under a wheel well, but, for me, that's the fun part of originality, like pealing an onion.

If a good example could be found, doing a reproduction may be a rare find for others.

Thanks, and again, best wishes for a terrific Holiday.

Jerry,

Thanks for the great picture. It is shaped a little differently than I had remembered. Could you measure the approximate hole diameter that this grommet fits, and tell me the year or vin of your parts car?

The orginial out of my 70 is just a flat plug with a hole in the center.

Dan, The body hole where the grommet goes measures .970" or just under an inch. Hope this helps. The grommet pictured came from a 1970, vin# approximately 7500. Jerry

I am having a heck of a time getting the idle correct on a 70 240z. Engine has just been professionally rebuild, Ztherapy did the carbs. Dist is original but has been cleaned up. I have to use the choke to get it started, then it jumps to about 3000 rpm's. Really freaks you out on a newly rebuild engine, I kill the choke and start adjusting the idle screws. If I put my hand over the mouth of the front carb I can get the rear to really sound nice, as soon as a I reverse the process and try to adjust the front, boom I jump to 3000 rpms again. I get the screw almost closed to slow down the idle and then the car dies and I repeat the process. I have adjusted the floats several times at .55 inches. I can't even get to the timing as the car either is idling too high or dies. The timing is at full retard.

Any thoughts?

What do the plugs look like ? Are the front cylinders black ?
