Distributer Shaft Play
Is it rotational play? Or is it movable side-to-side without rotating it? Rotational play can seem like quite alot without efficting its opperation. side to side slop is a bad thing - it would be very difficult to set the gap if there is more than about .005" of side to side movement. - Jeff

The rules
The rules of bedroom golf ..... 1. Each player shall furnish his own equiptment for play, normaly one club and two balls. 2. Play on the course must be approved by the owner of the hole. 3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to put the club in the hole, not the balls. 4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins. 5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club to avoid damage to the hole. 6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary untill the course owner is satisfied the play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course again. 7. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately apon arrival. The experienced player will take time to admire the entire course, paying special attention to the well formed bunkers. 8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses that they have played or are currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset course owners have bein known to damage a player's equptment for this reason. 9. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case. 10. Players should assure themselves that thier match has been properly scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played for the first time. Previous players have bein known to become irate if they discover that someone else is playing what they consider to be a private course. 11. Players should not assume that the course is in shape for play at all times. Some players may be embarrased if they find the course to be under temporarily under repair. Players must be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players will alternate means of play in this case. 12. Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission before attempting to play the back nine. 13. Slow play is encouraged, however, players must be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owners request. 14. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match. 15. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player. 16. Players are strongly advised to think twice before considering membership at a given course. Additional assessments may be levied by the course owner and the rules are subject to change. For this reason players may prefer to continue to play at several different courses.

Never trust an Indian
Barbara Walters was doing a documtary on the costoms of the American Indians. After a tour of the reservation they were on, she asked why the difference in the number of feathers in the head-dresses? She went to a brave that had only one feather in his and his reply was that , "Me have only one squaw - me only have one feather". She asked another brave, feeling the 1st was only joking. This brave had 4 feathers in his head-dress. His reply was as the 1st, "Me have four feathers because me sleep with four squaws". Still not convinced that the number of feathers indicated the number of squaws she went to the chief. Now the chief had a head-dress full of feathers, which,needless to say amused Ms. Walters. She asked the chief, "Why so many feathers in your head-dress?" The chief proudly pounded on his chest and said "Me chief, me f**k-em all, big,short,fat,tall - me f**k-em all!!" Horrified , Ms. Walters stated" You ought to be hung for that!" To which the chief shouted " You damned right me hung...Big like Buffalo, long like snake!" Ms. Walters cried,"You don't have to be so damned hostile!" The chief then replied, Hoss-style, dog-style, wolf-style, any style ... Me f**k-em all!" With tears in her eyes, she cried "Oh, dear!" Then the chief said,"No deer ... a**hole to high and f**kers run too fast... no f**k-em deer". - Jeff

Advice on lifting engine?
When I lifted my engine out I removed the cylinder head 1st. It was coming of the block after it was out anyway. I lifted the head,intake & exhaust header as one piece. I took the trans out the bottom(four bolts on the bell housing, 2 bolts for the slave cylinder, 3 bolts for the crossmember, 4 bolts for the drive shaft) To hold up the back of the engine when removing the trans I used a length of 2x4 accross the fenders with a thick padding of towels then used a tiedown strap under the oil pan to support the engine. When just the block is sitting there with the strap and the 4 motor mount bolts off it is free to lift. I lifted it with 3 tiedown straps - 1 around each motor mount and 1 under the oilpan next to the one holding up the back of the engine. By lifting the block out like this it allowed me to shorten and lengthen the straps to change the angle of the engine as needed to guide it out easily. I think it was an exelent way to pull the engine out. No lifting holes to worry about , and able to change the position at any time I needed. - Jeff

280Z Distributor
I have checked geocities web site for the Tach. hookup but they only talk about ZX distributors. Anyone know how to wire a 240 Tach. to a '78 280 electronic ignition, or where to find out? - Jeff

Why are cross-flows so rare?
Can you think of a way to COOL the intake manifold. - Jeff

Why are cross-flows so rare?
Like a Hemi? - Jeff

Why are cross-flows so rare?
What is the advantage of a crossflow head? The only disadvantage(that I see) to the 'standard' L series head is that the exhaust manifold is so close to the intake manifold. Where are the spark plugs located on a crossflow head? - jeff

Running Rich/Spark Plug Gap
I'm not sure about the ohms but I'm under the impression that if you do not have the stock coil then you do not need the ballist resistor. One advantage to a performance coil is the lack of the ballist resistor - that way you are suppling the coil with 12v all the time - not just at startup. The ballist resistor reduces the voltage to the coil to 9v after the key is released from the crank position. When the coil is given 12v all the time it gives a hotter spark all the time - not just at startup. I have '78 electronic ignition on my 240Z. I have a 'FireBall' coil and no ballist resistor - no problems. - Jeff

Running Rich/Spark Plug Gap
With an Electrionic ignition the plug gap should be .044" according to my electronic ignition book. I run mine at .044 without any stumble at all. - Jeff

Unsafe / nonoperative parking brake...?? - Jeff- What to save
drunkenmaster - The transverse links and control arms are different things. The control arms are the brackets that go out to the wheel - above and below the spindle - holds all of the wheel assembly - pivoits on a shaft to let the wheel go up & down over bumps. The transverse link holds things together from side to side. - Jeff- What to save
I stash parts where ever there is a couple of sq. inches. IE: 2 dash clocks on the shelf in master walkin closet, one dash panel(between dash & windshield) under my dresser, 2 large shelving units in the garage stuffed full of misc. stuff, garage attic w/ boxes of parts - windshield,hatch glass,& other larger items. Grab all you can -- stuff your pillow or whatever!!!:classic: - Jeff- and I thought Z's looked bad like this
I'll take 3 pleaseROFL :sick: :stupid:- Where's the vents???
At/neer the bottom of his auction it sats this: "THIS IS A 1971 240 Z, NOT A 1970. THE VIN# IS: HLS3023407. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EMAILS, PHONE CALLS AND QUESTIONS....ALL ORIGINAL BOOKS ARE INCLUDED" - Jeff- 280Z 5 speed in early 240Z
If your car is a manual now, Then keep the same drive shaft - The transmitions are the same length - '70 - '78. -Jeff- 280Z 5 speed in early 240Z
I have a '78 5 speed in my 240Z. I made no mods. Everything seems to work fine. - Jeff - What to save
