Posted January 10, 200718 yr comment_195293 Man, let it idle for a good 10 to 15 minutes and then took it for a spin. Man, I am going to love this car so much. I have no clue how long it has been sitting, I know of at least a year, but this thing purrs like a kitten. Spent two days replacing some stuff. Hoses, fluids, washers, bolts, battery, filters. Tried getting it to run, but there was no fuel in the fuel lines at all, so I had to keep the motor running by squirting fuel from a windex bottle into one of the carbs for like 10 minutes until the fuel finally made it through the lines. Then it was all golden from there.One carb, I think 1 through 3 is running rich, and the second carb seems to be a' ok from the looks of the spark plugs. I got a guy coming down sometime soon from the Sierra's who is an expert on carbs and used to own a Z of his own. Still got a bunch on work to do. After getting the battery put in, there is a bunch of eletrical work that needs to be done. Headlights, hazard switch, interior lights and the wipers.Brakes and Suspension have gone to poo. Only guage that doesnt work is the tachStill waiting to get my coil, ignitor, ngk plugs (only have 4 atm) and the ngk wires. I think that I might throw in a coolant resivor too.Going to take it to town sometime soon to get new tires, and get the rear hatch window thrown in. Might also see about getting the brakes done if the price is right just so that I dont have to mess with it.
