[2019] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?

Had a wonderful time visiting with @jfa.series1 for a few hours yesterday. We enjoyed his well stocked and orderly garage while turning wrenches to tune his carbs. 

It was a pleasure to work on a gold medallion car and to work with Z Therapy restored carbs. So clean and mechanically perfect! Thanks for the privilege!

@siteunseen  will be pleased to know that Jim is now a believer in "Equally Shitty"  3 cylinder tuning!!!!

The one thing that Jim's car did that I never ever witnessed before is the 1/64" carb piston lift rod trick check for a/f at idle.  It must have been the Z Therapy excellent restoration (no leaky bushings) and the fact that everything in Texas is in great repair and done right!  One of my fav states!

I don’t recall bottoming out at any time. May be just a bad seal or something. The only way I found out, there was a rattling sound coming from the strut at low speeds. I’ve never blown a strut before, at least not that I knew of......I’ll replace both rears with Konis....don’t think Tokicos are available anywhere.

I'm taking the week off from work, so I started on the fuel injection conversion for the 260Z. I'm taking it slow at first. Today was just getting the carburetors fitted with the fuel injector adapter platesGEDC0705.JPGGEDC0736.JPGGEDC0737.JPGGEDC0738.JPG.
