'73 240Z Ground Up Rebuild
Where are you at? I have a trailer and I have just set unibody cars on 4X4's before for the trip to the body shop. Probably the most accurate frame straightening is done on something called a Celette bench. They want the engine and suspension off the car for that though. Not cheap and not every shop does it. The one I know of is Yeaman Autobody in Palo Alto.

Looking for GOOD after-market EFI
I have twin dual throat Jenvey throttle bodies and SDS injection on my Porsche 914. It works very well. I want to do the same with my 73 240Z someday.

Needing Headlight switch
I have a bunch but I think they are mostly 280Z switches. Try contacting Zonthebrain or something like that. He rebuilds them.

Too Intense Restoration trustworthy?
Dealt with him in the past. I bought something on eBay from him and it came broken. He hounded me to hell and back before I wrote him off. That was years ago. I suspect he might have been just pissed at the world because he was one of the most totally unreasonable people I have ever dealt with. Given that he is still in business, I wonder if he hasn't mellowed or changed his ways. I might try him again if he had something I need.

Bring the Z or just come down and see the gang and the cars.

Colors to paint suspension components
I powdercoated everything and I am glad I did. I can see that any color I had chosen would have shown the grime pretty quickly after reassembly.

Dog Days Drive! August 7th 2010
The drive was a blast, though we did have one person collect a speeding ticket from CHP in Sonoma. One Z, though it got trailered in for some rust repair at Original Customs and the owner took a 914 ride for the day. The food was great. The people were even better. Hope to see more ZPeeps next time.

Buying new carbs, Ztherapry or....
I forget the name of that guy who started Z Therapy. He was in the USAF and he also was in to making convertibles out of Z cars... Nice guy with an awful camera presence. I have his tune up video around somewhere... I wonder what happened to him? He was going overseas from Mountain Home Idaho last I heard.

Looking for Dyno evaluation/SU carbs-
The fact that your cam is supposed to make power to 6500 and you drop off sharply at 5100 could mean you ran out of carb with your SU's and that set up.
