March 4, 200322 yr comment_28576 Does the car look decent, is there and interior or is everything gone except the tires and suspension?If so i'll see if i can get it. If I can't get it,I'll give away an L24 and a 4 speed tranny off my 73 240z parts car to someone in this list if they come here(taft, tx 110miles from S.A.)amd pull the engine. I would just really like to see this get done cause i have never pulled an engine. I'd like to learn.If the car needs it i'll even let you take the dash and seats for a trade of a timing light gun and/or weber dgv syncro tool.i will look for a trailer but i don't know if i'll find some one to tow it. That is where i will find my problem. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4969-1973-240z/#findComment-28576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 4, 200322 yr Author comment_28578 I am pulling the motor tonight and the tranny is already out. There is NOTHING indise as far as interior. NO DOORS NO HOOD HATCH IS A POS.It can be ride on a trailer or maybe be dollied (that is how I got it home)the body is OK to poor has a sunroof (crappy too) and is basically stripped. No title. basically, 4 struts with tires, rear end half shafts and a unibody. -BryanOr e-mail me bryantatem@sbcglobal.net Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4969-1973-240z/#findComment-28578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 4, 200322 yr comment_28579 They were fine when i got the car. The su carbs would flood. I could turn the distributor by hand. The tranny shifted smoothly. I used to drive it aroud for fun until the brakes froze up. I haven't started it in about 2 months cause the battery died. My brother (6th grader) took off the plug wires. Then i noticed that you can actually lift the distributor up. maybe it will need a new distributor. I stared it one day and with the carbs flooding i somtimes had to crank it quite a bit get it back on. I noticed the lead that goes to the starter off the battery was hot and the connection was loose. I wonder if i burned the starter but i haven't started it since. I think with a little work it can be made into a good engine. The exhaust system has holes but I have a replacement you can have with the engine that is complete from the manifold back. Even with all these conditions present the car was running and the only reason I don't fix it is cause the rust is very bad on the body. I just keep it for the glass and the lighs and when I take those off I will get rid of the car. I would feel very bad if that 73' dash had to go with it. The only reason i don't get rid if it now is cause i know there is a reasonably good L24 and four speed in it. Plus I have an extra set of slotted mags on it .

March 4, 200322 yr comment_28582 Bryantatem-I can't take it wouthout a title. My local revycler won't accept any chasis scrap without a title. I am already stuck with one car worth of tub cut into 1/4ths!fstr240z- I will still pull the motor. Sounds like the block and head might be ok. I have some of the other bits. I will be in touch when I can get down that way and get it. You want to see it come out or should I just bring some wheels and roll it off on my stock?

March 7, 200322 yr comment_28982 That price for the DGV's is pretty good if you don't want to spend to much $$$, on the triple webers. I like the DGV's they are very reliable. I think they are a very good replacement for those flooding 73' SUs.If your thinking of buying them texas Z, to replace some carbs on a Z, I know you like 'em. Mine are running trouble free and thats what i like about them.
