Curious about the gap, I measured it on my '71Z. Drivers side .22" and passenger side .75". The bumper has probably been off and on a dozen times since 1971, but no collision damage to the bumper or the car. Soooo, now I have a project - mess with mounting points until I get 1/2" on each side. Might be a winter project when I install the new bumper rubber strips. Dennis

The crazy weather here in the SoCal desert continues. Last weekend it was 108 degrees and this weekend they're predicting snow at the 8,000 foot level of the local mountain on Sunday. Really do need to dig out the tire chains. Dennis -

The weather changed here in the desert on Tuesday, too. First time in 82 days the temperature didn't get into triple digits - only made it into the 90ºs. Time to look for the snow chains. Dennis -
Any corrosion on metal parts on either connector you disconnected? Dennis

Jalex, it might be worthwhile to go back through the entries in this thread and count the times people have told you NOT to change the timing until you determine if the cables are causing the problem. That's what troubleshooting is all about - eliminating possible causes one at a time without introducing new variables. Who's telling you to change the timing? Someone in a private message on this forum? Someone in Panama? A little voice in your head? I think you're testing the patience of those trying to help you and may be pushing the limit with many. Relax, follow the advice as given, or move on. It's as easy as that. Dennis

I totally agree. There's no shame in not knowing how to fix everything on the car you drive. There are many older cars and trucks in Panama and someone is keeping them on the road. Jalex should ask around (friends, relatives, coworkers) to find a mechanic who knows how to work on an older car with a carburetor. Not sure if he ever tried to connect to a local car club, as suggested, for support. The mechanics he has used most recently have not helped. Dennis

Yes.. Focus on eliminating one factor at a time. Dennis

You mentioned, "Parked and let the engine run at idle for 10 mins with the hood opened. " Why? Also, what happened with the distributor seal replacement project? Dennis

Let us know the results when it's all back together. Dennis

Good luck, have fun, hope it works out for you. Dennis

How is the battery secured in the battery tray? Looks a little loose. Also, what's the little tube, or rod, protruding from the cap top of oil level dipstick in the front carb? Dennis

But, not as cool sounding as Speed Racer or Johnny Danger. Dennis

Or, do what that lady would recommend and put it in the oven to keep it dry. Dennis

Only a slight insignificant difference. Kind of like the story I heard on the news yesterday about the lady who thought she was lighting a candle during a recent power outage and it turned out to be a stick of dynamite. https://people.com/human-interest/connecticut-woman-blows-off-hand-mistaking-dynamite-for-candle/ Dennis

Hold that thought, laminate it and post in on the refridgerator door, and refer back to it often. Dennis

Looks like a little delamination on the trailing edge of the left rear fender flair. I'm sensing "lipstick on a pig" with this one. Dennis

Good move. With CL cars, always establish the seller's insult level. Looks like the perfect car for a guy who goes by the name Johnny Danger. Dennis

Always fun to watch. Appeared to live life on his own terms. Dennis

Reverse backup light switch for 280z 5 speed tranny

Several reasons.... The expensive one has FREE shipping. ($8.48 shipping on Niles) The expensive one guarantees delivery by Sept 11. ( Niles delivery by Oct. 25) Niles is from a non English speaking country as evidenced by the use use of the made up word "Equipments" on the box. Equipment is a non-count noun, or a noun that cannot be counted and does not have a plural form. Like all things in life, pay your money and take your chances....kind of like why it hurts when Cliff pees. Dennis

My 4/71 build has the double edge cut key that works on all locks as well as the ignition. One key does it all. Dennis
