Well, I have decided to be in the unusual position of trying to put the air pump system back on my 240Z instead of taking it off like most. I've decided to go farther into the restore route than I had originally planned with the 240Z, now that I have my 280Z to do whatever I want to.

So, for all of you that have removed your emissions, and have chucked the parts in a box that is taking up space in your garage, can I have some of it :classic: ? I've already located an air pump with its brackets, as well as an antibackfire valve with a T-pipe connector. Looks like the major parts I'm still missing are the control valve (5) and check valve (4) on the attached figure, as well as a bunch of the hoses. I have an exhaust manifold with the air pipe, although one of the head pipe studs is broken, and it's in pretty mediocre shape.

So, anyone that would like to rid their garage of any of this stuff, please let me know. Of course, I'll be more than happy to pay for shipping. If you want $$ for the parts as well, let me know and I'll consider it if they are in really nice shape.

BTW, what I'm starting out with looks like the attached pic.

Thanks.

About a year ago the Check valve and Anti-Backfire valve were still available from Nissan. Nice and Shiney and new. Also, the short hoses (straight and curved) were available. Chloe may be able to get the longer hoses. I'm trying to get some of them now.

Oh ya, the studs for the exhaust manifold should be easy to get. I got some from MSA about two years ago. Hopefully you can "Kroil & EZ Out" the broken one.

I haven't checked the availability of new parts yet. The antibackfire valve and air pump are still listed in the Victoria British catalog too, but I got reasonable e-bay deals on pretty good looking parts, and saved about $150 over new (and got the pump brackets). I want to see what I can find used before trying to locate new. I'd rather spend the real money on stuff that's more fun :classic:; you know, like suspension mods for the 280 :devious: !

I've got number 5 in good shape, and I'll see if I have number 4. Minimal cost plus shipping. Hopefully I have both.

The '73 I have likely has everything as it was a running car when parked a couple years ago. Here's a link to a big pic of the engine (and I do mean it's a big pic). http://www.pape.ws/gallery/Engine/aaa?full=1 See what you need? I know for a fact I have the exhaust manifold you are looking for. Let me know.

Wow, that was a big pic, even with broadband!

Unfortunately, your car seems to be missing the entire air pump system too. All the valves and hoses are gone, and from what I can see, the air pump itself is gone. Too bad. What condition is the manifold/air tube that you have? All studs there, and the air pipe intact?

Thanks.

I was wrong. The manifold I have does NOT have the air gallery pipe attached. I bought it before I decided to rebuild the air injection system, so I didn't care. So I'm looking for that too. Anyone that has an intact gallery/manifold that they don't need due to a header conversion, etc?

Thanks.

I've got at least one complete exhaust manifold with the air injection tubing.... in fact, if you want, I'd sell you all the smog stuff off the 71 engine I've got on the stand, since I'm not going to use any of it.. but, I'd rather sell it all (including the air pump and brackets) so I don't have that laying around.....

You have a PM.

The control valve (#5 in the picture I attached to the first post in this thread) is the only component I need that is actually attached to the balance tube itself. The check valve (#4 in the picture) is attached to the air distribution gallery that is a tube that connects to each port in the exhaust manifold. I need that gallery itself as well. Most of the other components don't actually connect to the balance tube except through a couple hoses (which I could use too, if they're in good shape, as well as the wire clamps that connect them). The antibackfire valve (#3 in the picture) is kind of a central component in the air injection system, but I have one of those in pretty good shape. The control valve (#5) and servo diaphram (#6) appear to control the speed of closing of the throttle linkage, and aren't part of the air injection system itself.
