Hi George looks like you have a lovely 240Z there, keep us posted with your progress, I'm almost a neighbour too in the UK and I recently imported a 72 from Spokane WA, they're great cars! The hood release cable snapped on mine last week so I've ordered a new one from Zcardepot hopefully it will arrive this week.

hello my friends I have some progress, I told you that this is a very slow project because of lack of time and limited funds so, the frame rails, wheel well and passenger floor is fixed and I just removed the dash, mainly to clean the backspace and through the air ventilation. I also want to fix the dash, after reading the helpful topics in this forum It has a dash cap right now but I want to remove it and do the job right here are some photos of my Z

It's a right of passage every Z owner has to go through, designed to see if you are worthy.

"Speedometer" was probably meant to be odometer. You can check your odometer using mile markers on the freeway. They wanted you to check spark plugs because they can indicate how rich the fuel-air mixture is by color and carbon buildup. The smell of the exhaust is also a clue. Does it smell gassy? My 76 suddenly started getting terrible mileage when the fuel pressure regulator (FPR) went bad. Check fuel pressure if you can. It's very important. And you can get a good idea of the quality of the coolant temperature sensor circuit by measuring resistance at the ECU and comparing it to the temperature chart in the FSM. You have a lot of "should"s and "should be"s in your post. You have to get numbers and take a close look to really know. All of your shoulds say you should be getting better mileage. So they must not be what they should be.
