Is this part of the emission system? I don't think AU market 240z's had these.

Presumably so - vapors from the fuel tank and oil pan are routed to the back of the carbs air filter housing to get pulled into the engine for burning.  This little valve is mounted just under the ballast resistor.

Never heard that one before, funny!  Pretty sure I would be considered an optimist. 

Next the psychiatrist took the optimist to a room piled high
with horse manure. The boy yelped with delight, clambered
to the top of the pile, and joyfully dug out scoop after scoop,
tossing the manure into the air with glee. 
"What on earth are you doing?" the psychiatrist asked. 
"Well,” said the boy, beaming "...there's gotta be a pony in there somewhere!"

Here's the version I had heard:

A man was walking by the blacksmith's shop and saw a boy madly digging into a large pile of horse manure, flinging it everywhere.  He called out to the boy "Young man, why are you digging in that pile of manure?".  The boy stopped and replied "Mister, with that much horse $^!# in one place, there's gotta be a pony in there somewhere!".

I like your's better!  Sounds like real life.  

Psychiatrist with horse $^!# in there office?  More like the psychiatrist's own $^!#.

Hi John,

It was sold about 6 weeks ago - post #2 in the thread.  I think I'll have another one is about a week or so, I'll give you first shot at it.
