Holy triple post Batman! The website hung-up as I posted the first reply and took each "refresh" as a request to post.

Sorry

looks like a fun project.

i to have the problematic hoses going here and there and plugged with non automotive things.

i think we need some more pics too fyi!!!!

Another item I would strongly recommend is a Datsun Parts manual (you can find these on e-bay every now and again). I purchased mine from Kuwait and it has helped me save a small fortune in parts. If you do your own research with part numbers your local Nissan parts manager can order them for you on his orders and you will not have any freight charge and no mark up for eBay....big savings. A lot of parts are N/A but a lot of parts are out there in the Nissan system - you gotta have the Datsun number to find them and the parts managers do not have a way to reference in their new system unless you give them the part number.

For the parts book use this link and send the Saad a message - he may have some more left.........http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-1200-240Z-280ZX-510-Bluebird-SSS-key-type-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45f8567d37QQitemZ300519161143QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Or he could just use the online parts catalog I found a few months ago http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsuns30/DatsunFairladyZIndex/tabid/1543/Default.aspx

I would have to think your first purchases for your car would need to include one of Bruce's CD's. They offer two different ones and they really detail the complete breakdown - rebuild - fuel adjustment - float adjustment - part replace - of the Hitachi carbs on our cars (excellent way to thoroughly educate you and you son on how these carbs work). Trust me - after reviewing and practicing you will be the go to guy in your community for dual carb set up.

MSA (Motor Sport Auto) does offer us a discount - you will need to supply them with your CZCC member number and they will tag your account with a discount when you order parts from them. We do have sponsors that do help support the site - their info is in the upper right hand corner and does change on every log on

Best of luck with your project!

Thank's. I checked his Ebay store and he has no parts manuals as of yet. I will hit up MSA as well. Where do I get my CZCC number from?

Well after doing my best to sync the carbs last night, I had them adjusted "almost" perfect. I was just trying to get them in the ball park to get it to run more smoothly. I was using a synch tool my uncle gave me from his MG days. Anyway even when I got them in the ball park, it shook like a grain of rice on a subwoofer. This morning hooked my compression gauge and OH BOY.... PSI reading were 170,170,140,130,170,60. cylinder number 6 is only 60 psi.

So now it's OFF WITH ITS HEAD!!!

Here is YOUR number - 23771

It's in your contact info - good luck on the low compression - that can be a challange!

Not so fast! Did you adjust the valves first?

Not so fast! Did you adjust the valves first?

Yep, .010 intake, and .012 exhaust.

I suspect a burnt exhaust valve. The exhaust sound at the muffler has that signature pop,pop,pop at idle. I squirted a little oil in down the cylinder, and no change in readings, as well. Besides there is absolutly no smoke out of the tail pipe so I pretty much have ruled out rings.

There is nothing I would of wanted more then to NOT have to yank the head. Well at least I don't have to pull the whole block, for a ring job.
