aapiss -- check your fuel guage sending unit with a volt/ohm meter -- check for continuity from the positive to the negitive posts. The sliding contact may need to be off of eather resting stop. if you get continuity the sending unit is good. check the pos. wire for 12 volts with the ignition on, check the ground wire to make sure it is grounded. If you have all three... = good switch. Check the other end for trouble if the switch is good. Gas hoses --- check each hose for cracks or rub/wear marks. Feel each --- they should be flexable. NO cracks, NO rub/wear marks, all hoses are flexable ? = good hoses. Rear differential fluid--- If it is not honey color - replace it !! If you are unsure - replace it -- Do not worry about the smell, it's normal to stink. Any more Q's about tank/hoses/sending unit ect... write me back. hope things are good for you. - Jeff

I met Dave at inovator Z. He is great!! He sold me some very nice parts for a very reasonable price. He has alot of nice stuff in good/great condition. I found him on our site and am very lucky that he is only 22 miles from my work!!!

In 'his' 240z the "GTO" means 'GASTRO-INTESTINAL-ORIFICE' What do you guys think??

All of the above is good advise to adhear to !!!

I used it to temporarly repair a leak in my dirtbike rad. It became a perminant fix - on a differant bike i repaired a hole about the size of a silver dollar in the crankcase ( twostroke bike ) I am going to buy stock if i can find any !!

I plan on putting on on my 240 -- with a 6 into 1 header they don't sound whinie. -Jeff

Royce - Thanks for the reply - Wouldn't the valve cover have some vaccuum on it because of the pcv port attached to the carb. balance tube??

DERK -- Downloads are awsome -- ( I just got a cable modem )

Thanks Rick, ( keep puting up the free stuff and one time i'll get some ) Thanks again - Jeff

I have done this several tims over the years. -- remove the #1 spark plug, turn the engine over manualy by the crankshaft nut,stop turning when you are on the COMPRESSION stroke, stuff a length of COTTON rope in the comb cham then manualy take up the remaining space by turning it over with the crank nut again, This stops the pistion from completing its stroke. That will hold the engine still while you work.

9.6:1 is as high as you can get and still run 87 octane fuel. ( Ford, GM, Dodge - Factory specs )

Hey guys, Should the valve cover breather hose have pressure or vaccuum? I have vaccuum on mine ( 72' 240 ) I was under the empression that it would have a small amount of pressure out. The hose that connects the block to the pcv on the balance tube sucks vapor from the crankcase -- is this where the vaccuum in the valve cover is from??:cross-eye

Rick , is the header avalible??

Thanks for the confermation on my thoughts. Now one more qestion. how do i know if my pcv is allowing to much thru?

On the front driver's side in front & below the 1st exhaust port, the tube that sticks out from the block....... Where does or what does that connect to ??? I have seprate air cleaners and I think it connects to the carb. balance tube, am i right ??? Why?? thanks for any input

It sure would be nice to have that header on my 72' 240(it has no exhaust at all - head to tail - what a great way to start! if previous members do not come through.... lobbest@chartermi.net -Jeff -Drive it like you stole it , then clean it.

thats one classy way to tape/race prep a headlight cover that's what that is
