Thanks so much mike! that does make sense, i will try it since its sitting on the floor right now

Hi all, I've done some searching but can't find others solutions ... i had to replace the gas tank on my 240 so I purchased a beautiful (really) used tank. When preping to put it all back on the car, I noticed both of the lines coming out of the front of the tank (return and inlet) are 5/16" .... the return line on my car is 1/4" hard line... The tank may have been from a later model, mine is a 72' it fits perfect otherwise. What have others on the forum used as a reducer for this? Or am i the first to run across this? Thanks in advance.

Very nice job, congrats

I am stoked for you.... Jealous, but stoked

This info was great! thanks so much for posting!

Yes i am patching in the side marker lights, i thought it would look clean as well. there will be no emblems or trim except the two upper z's on the sides and probably leave the one on the hood, that is still up in the air though. suzook, you are in Alb. as well, very nice...what part of town? PM me sometime, maybe we can chat bout z's over a

i will try that next time, i dont understand why they are not showing up though...they still show on mine, and i dont rearrange photobucket. I will try to figure it out

I had some stainless sheets sitting around and they were the perfect gauge steel... so, i cut to 'em just like my cardboard patch panel;) tacked 'em in and voila... part Delorean Thanks for the reply, not many people I know, or around this town, understand the Z love:love:

I was just itchin to tell/show someone that doesn't give me a hard time for all of my work on the Z car so here are some pics, let me know what you all think advice is always welcome So I started with : Moved on to: Found stuff like: and am curing the cancer like: Starting to eliminate rear bumper: Now the z is part Delorean All the patches are done and grinded down: Now she jut needs to be sanded again(except the stainless delorean parts), But i am closer to paint than ever and getting excited once again! Hope i didn't bore you all, I know my lady is sick of hearing about car stuff so i thought i would share with the board. Thanks for listening, Slo

Thanks to all, Looks like I will be cutting and welding More pics are always apprieciated love the z's with no rear bumpers! Nice to see what i am working towards on others cars

Nice, that looks cherry... thanks for the reply! anyone else out there eliminate their rear bumper? Pics are great, thanks again!!!

Here is a pic of the area in question.. (in case it is not called a roll pan) Thanks again

Does anyone know if there is a a company out there that makes a smooth piece for the rear of a 240. i am trying to eliminate my rear bumper and instead of doing all the patchwork needed i thought it would be nice if someone made a one piece weld on unit. Thanks in advance. Slo

Not to beat a dead horse, but is anyone on the forum running 14 inch rims with the tokico hp/eibach suspension setup... I just want to see some pic's so I can get an idea of what the different tyre size's look like. Any pics of 14's would be great! just remember to mention your tire size. Thanks again

Thanks so much for your time and info... I will keep you posted as to my progress on the wheels!

Thanks for your help... What size rims and tires are you running on the red 240 in the pics you have

This is a pic of the car before I took it down to bare steel. I haven't uploaded any pics in a while but this might do the trick. Let me know what you see. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn219/slo929/DSC01725.jpg

Are you selling the wheel cylinders?

Good Question... How would i go about measuring the width? I am completly new to tire/rim issues so I dont really know. The wheels have been on the car as long as I have been alive and all 4 are the same width. They seem pretty narrow to me, but then again I am used to rover tires. Let me know what to do and i will run by the Z at my next break.

i appreciate the tip... i was worried about the wheel/tire combo just looking too small in the wheel well. Anyone with pics of this rim/tire setup? (any of the mentioned sizes) Thanks

Well I have a question on tire size. :stupid: After doing alot of searching on the site I have not been able to find the info I am looking for so here it goes. I am planning on purchasing the tokico hp struts and eibach spring setup from MSA. I currently have what people on this site are calling western wheels cylones (14") on the car. It is the way I grew up seeing the car and I have decided to clean them up and keep 'em, at least for the time being. What I want to know is what tire size looks good on the car with these 14" rims after the eibachs lower it some. I am currently looking at the Falken AZENIS rt/615 in a 195/60/14 because of info I have found here, but would like to know how the size looks on the car with a similar setup. I am open to all suggestions so any info would be apprieciated. Thanks in advance

Thanks so much... I have only adjusted with the 10mm bolt so I will look for the 8mm bolt tomorrow when i get a break from work. Any sage advice on adjusting it? Thanks again in advance

I finally have the 72 running today so that it does not die after a few seconds:classic: the only problem is i have the distributor turned as far as it can go towards the retarded side:confused: I don't know if this is an indication that the timing chain is completly off or if i have something else wrong. I tried moving all of the plug wires so that i could put the distributor more on the advanced side but it was a no go. The car seems to be running great as it is, but it worries me that it is completly retarded and leaves no room for change. Any advice would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks!

Thanks again bruce... I opened up the float bowl cleaned it with carb cleaner and BAM it worked like a charm!! I look forward to working with you and Z Therapy in the future... thanks for the help on my order as well!

Thank you much bruce... I will work on it a little later on today!
