Dupli-color has a can of off the shelf spray paint that matches it perfect.

We assembled the new Bend-Pak 4 post lift this weekend. Next....Wednesday the contractors are coming in to raise an 8 foot section above the lift so we can take her all the way up. We'll be able to get one of the 240 Z's under the silver 300ZX. There's another garage attached to this one with the white 70 and the lime 72 240's. This garage will end up with the silver 90 the Safari Gold 71 and the silver 73.

You need to push the nozzle all the way back up or your engine will exhibit the characteristics you just described.

Yes I've seen a number of pics of Frank's Texas car.....It's beautful. I asked him to post on this forum re his paint and he did. Zedyone K has more pictures of this awesome car.

Maybe we should have a roll call for The Classic Zcar members at the Thursday night dinner.

Carl.....Just ordered my tickets to The BRE dinner......looking forward to meeting you and my "Datsun Heroes". Guy

We're snowed in in Richmond......ZPIZZAMAN20......I haven't forgotten the engine etc. I bought from you. Just can't get there with all the snow!!!

Roger that Bruce.....This Global warming is killing us! Happy New Year...... Guy

Great looking ride.....nothing handles and drives much better than a Z32 right out of the box......I love mine!

Brandon.......Awesome pics.....you're definitely "A chip off the old block"!

MSA or Black Dragon has them......get new gaskets (one on each side of spacer) while you're at it.

Steve.....One of my fraternity brothers from Georgia Tech started the Mitty. He races Vintage cars.Do you know Steve Simpson? If you do tell him Hi. Guy Miller

First thing.....adjust your valves to .008 intake .010 exhaust. Then do another test.....if you don't get an increase in compression, you have somewhat of a problem. True, no cylinder should be 15% off of another, but 100 lbs. is too low. Probably needs rings. Should be reading 160 or so. Good luck!

Don't forget the spacer and gaskets between the fuel pump and head.

You'll need a $3.00 filter.....and your carb fuel rail. That should take fuel to those SU's.

That is the mechanical fuel pump......you'll need the eccentric for the front of the cam.

Good advice!

no spacer on the manual. 2+2 has a 240mm flywheel......get a 240z flywheel, or you'll have to change a number of things as mentioned in aforementioned post. However if all your parts are from a 2+2 (trans, flywheel, pressure plate, clutch lever etc., it will work).

You were right Jon......Thick rubber floor mat was the culprit.

Check to make sure your choke nozzels (directly below the carbs) have not hung open.......happens all the time. Reach under each carb and try to push 'em back up.

What fuel system are you running? SU's or fuel injection?

Rich..... Congratulations......Looks like a solid restorable Z! Get rid of the flat-top carbs......but by all means, keep those yellow centercaps!

Hi Pat......Car sits as of last post. Chuck started block sanding in prep for jamming, but the snow storm brought in more profitable insurance jobs. Four weeks ago, he said he was going to start jamming everything in two weeks......sound familiar? I don't every pressure him.....just glad he decided to do "one more restoration". When he starts the next phase, it should go quickly. Thanks for your interest......I'll update when there's something of interest. Guy

Iinitially thought it may have hung up on the brake master-vac hose and moved the that hose over. No such luck....it did it again Sunday.......It really gets your attention when you put the clutch in to shift and the RPM's go off the chart.......Thank God for the heavier Isky springs or my pistons would have been eating valves!!

Anyone ever had their throttle stick wide open? It's the second time it's happened......I suspect the thick rubber mats, but not sure......I can't make it stick when I try.......It'll really get your attention when it happens!!!
