February 8Feb 8 comment_674341 I was kind of kidding. Didn't know that it was a thing. An odd name for a product, must be from way back. https://www.iqsdirectory.com/articles/wire-rope/aircraft-cable.html https://www.homedepot.com/p/KingChain-1-8-in-x-50-ft-Galvanized-Aircraft-Cable-Kit-with-Clips-and-Thimbles-7x19-Construction-504711/304086908 Edited February 8Feb 8 by Zed Head Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69239-1975-280z-build/?&page=4#findComment-674341 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 8Feb 8 comment_674343 Mix a quart of ATF with a quart of acetone in a spray bottle for penetrating fluid. Works great and is a lot cheaper than PB Blaster.

February 8Feb 8 comment_674345 The 1st thing you should do is take the valve cover off and drench the cam with oil. You put ATF in the spark plug holes. Once you get all the moving parts oiled up put a socket on the the cam gear and slowly turn it clockwise looking from the radiator. Leave the plugs out and turn it a little everyday. Start cleaning stuff. There's a bunch of places spider webs can be a pain. The AFM sweeper arm and the TPS contacts are especially important. Open the air cleaner box and look for acorns and other critter $^!# they hide.

February 9Feb 9 comment_674376 Buy a FSM hard copy off EBay or download the one here on this site and study it from one end to the other. The EFI section is what’s going to be your biggest challenge. Have fun! It’s a journey and well worth it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69239-1975-280z-build/?&page=4#findComment-674376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 15Feb 15 comment_674536 Take good care of that head if it’s really a MN head . Like said - a compression test would show pretty stout numbers with any combo involving a Maxima head . CC’s are about 39 which should show 180-200 psi compression check . I’ll also say the Maxima head would be about better than anything you could pit on that engine . But it also would be a challenge for stock EFI to keep up with the compression - not even talking ignition timing issues also .
