the crankshaft pulley key was missing !

Wow that is crazy!!! Make sure the seat belts are bolted all the way in! Who knows what the PO or their mechanic has done!!!!

Yep ! My brother and I are going to take of the timing cover today, we just want to be sure !

Okay so finally we managed to get the engine running again yesterday around 24.00. It was an ignition problem again, partly coil hooked up wrong, and timing.

Also placed a few new gaskets, and found a spacer that's on top of the valve, in the oil pan.. that was missing from the beginning when I got it.

More to follow on this, we have to get it running for the sunday event.

Anybody can confirm the distributor vacuum advance hose is in the right place ?

Finally got it running right... I had to turn the carburetor mixture screws richer, because it wouldn't idle properly, I wouldn't have thought, because Chris had them on a 2.8 engine ! Timing is also correct, and it idles fine now.

I have to admit, the gas pedal problem is GONE ! It's so much smoother now Feels like driving a new car.. maybe it's a bit to over sensitive and I have to get used to it now.

Anyhow it's ready for tomorrow's classic car rally

Have fun tomorrow.

Bart, Enjoy it while you can. I have a feeling winter will hit us shortly. Have fun in the rally.

Thanks everyone !

Well yesterday was fun, the weather was pretty nice and sunny I don't know where to find pictures of the event yet, but I guess they will show up later this week. Although this was the first time they held this event, it went pretty good.

A lot of people where looking at the car, don't see an old Z that often here !

I made a picture of the car this morning as it sits

Couldn't find any pictures of the event, but found a local newspaper article about it this week.

And the latest part from the US.. chrome bumper guard, was stored since the late 70's or something, but in perfect condition !
