1971 Datsun 240Z in good condition. Car was originally white, the previous owner had it painted red and a sunroof installed. The odometer reading has rolled over from 100,000 to 10,355. So the mileage is 110,355. The tire and wheels are in good shape. There are two cracks on the top of the dash. Seats are not original. Pertronix Ignitor installed in distributor and Magacore spark plug wires, new (larger) alternator. Factory manual included. Located in Lincoln, Nebraska. Was driven daily up until about 5 years ago, when it became a weekend car. Asking $6,000. azcarfan@gmail.com

Fellow club members, blessed with a couple of sixty degree days (about twenty degrees above normal here in Lincoln, NE) I set out to solve a nagging choke problem. After pulling the center console and turning it upside down, I noticed that the small shoulder bolt that connects the "u-turn" of the choke cable to the choke handle is broken. If anyone has one they would like to sell or knows where I can get one, I would appreciate it. I would hate to have to park the car this winter. E-mail me at Sbutternut@juno.com or send a PM Thanks, SKB '71 240Z

I own ' 71 240Z with the needle and seat ( no Grose jets ) in the float bowl, and I'm trying to determine if the level of gas in the float bowl is adequate. I took the float bowl lid off and grabbed my calipers and measured down from the top of the float bowl 38 mm before I hit any gas, is this to low ? Maybe a better question would be, when the floats are set correctly, where does the level of gas in the nozzle suppose to be ? I read the article by Roger Garnett from ZHome.com and he says the level of gas should sit right below the nozzle. Is he correct ? I pulled my suction piston and looked down the nozzle and it's empty. The car starts and idles well, but power is down and it starts to stumble at 3500 rpm and won't rev past 4000. ( fuel starvation ?) It's starting to get cold here in Nebraska so I have to get this problem solved. One last thing, what's the timing get set at ? Thanks SKB

Hello fellow club members. I'm the owner of a ' 71 240Z with what I believe is a choke problem, and could really use some help. One morning I got in the car, pulled the choke and fired it up. But I felt something was'nt right, so I got out my Uni-syn and checked the air flow into each carb. With the car idling at about 2000rpm, the rear carb air flow was good but the front carb was barely sucking any air at all. I've used the Uni-syn many times to set the air flow of the carbs when the engine was warm,but this is the first time I've used it with the chokes pulled. Why do I have so little air going into the front carb ? Thanks
