How To Adjust Choke Cable In A 72 240Z
Also it's a good idea not to grab the choke handle by the knob when pulling it in the choke position, if it's tight. I've broken off a couple in my time, including the posts where it's fastened too, all due to a tight cable. Now after freeing up the cable I usually pull it back by grabbing the handle underneath close to where the setscrew is.

Wanting To Race
I've been doing Autocross events since 91, in a front wheel drive Sentra SE-R and the Z. SCCA , Akron sports car club, Corvette clubs, BMW, & NORA events. Speeds are limited to 60+ mph, although some courses may vary, due to weather conditions. I've gotten into 3rd gear at a Corvette event, with my 218 hp. Z. You're either on the gas or the brakes. I've only done 15 mph in the pits, safety reasons. I work as a SCCA Solo Safety Steward & have a National Pit Marshal license.

Hands down the best gas cap for our cars.
Was going to ask that question too. I've taken my 72 Z to a few Solo events with a bit more than a quarter of a tank, and it leaked out. Gas cap was about 5 years old. Bought a brand new Nissan gas cap, new flap, went to another event, still leaked. I'll try a bead of silicone, as you suggested, and let you know. Last event next Sunday. ....... thanks

Brake pads
I found the brake boxes. Fronts were CT 57-913 Kelate* Metallic. The shoes, was hard to read, either CTS 411-913 or CTS 711-913, or CTS 911-913. (expensive) I worked one of the last 24 hour races at Nelson Ledges as a Pit Marshall. The "Spirit of DC 240Z" won, ran the race without changing the pads & shoes. It was pictured in one of the car magazines, I was standing next to it. I'll try and find it.

1970 Series I 240Z Unique Parts
Don't think this was mentioned, early Series I had shortened driveshafts, which made the halfshafts not at right angles to the diff, that lead to the rear end "squat" on acceleration, as was mentioned in early C&D or R&T magazines.
