New owner of a 78 coupe
I dont know about removing the entire fuel system, but flushing it out and inspecting the Gas tank is prudent.

Low profile kick panel speaker pods now available
Arrg, So will my 280 run without the fuse block and ecu? But really anything is better than cutting into the doors, I hate it when people do that.

Slight back fire and stumble!
Yes fastwoman can help, She helped me out big time. Look up her purrs like a kitten thread and my mpg thread. As well as downloading the FSM and searching the EFI section. How long have you owned the car? Check all vacuum lines for leaks, Check all electrical conections pertaining to your EFI system and be nice to your clutch.

Needing 1977 fuel sending unit
Are you absolutly sure it is the fuel sending unit? Can you test it by taking it out of the tank and moving it to see? If you are certain that it is youre sending unit, can you repair it? If you REALLY are sure you need the unit I have a spare but I am reluctant to send it out if it is something else. My car is a 77 and the spare came out of a 77 with the tank. I would test it before sending out.

AFM Adjustment
That is normal, no? as the temp increases the resistance decreases and vice verse.

WEBASTO/ BRITAX vinyl sunroof ( ragtop) in a 240Z
Ugly. I don't think I would put one on my car. Seattle would have to much fun.

Side Panel Lines
I know what you meen. After my car had been painted at least 3 times the lines became a little "blurry". I got some of it back before I painted it last but not like youres. Good job.

One man job? Removing and replacing transmission
Two things I have done that helped without a trany jack are: you can support the rear of the trany with a strap and a pipe or wood block through the shifter hole and using a jack to lift the rear of the engine to help align it to the transmission when reinstalling it.

No power to fuel pump
Usually we turn to FastWoman to solve our fuel problems, So If I saw this thread earlier I would suggest that she check with FastWoman as she has done, and FastWoman solved Fastwomans problem. But really, I have noticed a lot of the interior firewall terminals on my car have the same corosion problems. Perhaps it is prudent to clean them all before a similar problem occurs.

speaker location question
Anywhere but the doors. Please do not cut holes in the doors. I hate that. Well it's you're car. I have mine behind the seats. the PO put them there, in the doors, in the pillars and cut holes in the center console. It cost me a little to replace the parts needed to fill up all of the holes, but I left the ones behind the seats. They sound preatty good but I am no audiofile.
