get a carb balance tool, check the balance between vacuum from both carbs, to get em in tune.

My beloved 1972 240z had rusted thru the frame rails and front rails under the front cross beam so bad that i was advised to junk the car or part it out. I was determined to save it so i did the following. I took 7' length of 21/2 by 1/4 inch weldable steel and forced into the frame rail slots then drilled holes to bolt it to the strut housings and also holes for the sway bar. I then used a grinder to get rid of the worst rusted areas, then i bought 4 cans of "great stuff" expanding foam and filled the hollow frame rails till it started oozing out. I let this mess dry for a day then i took a ginsu knife and trimmed the excess foam off. Then i painted it with flat black primer, then i sprayed with rubber undercoat. My car has no squeeks and is quieter. I also filled in the area under the battery with foam...just for the heck of it, as rust was eating into the fender. Whadaya think? Am i whacked in the head? is there a better way? or what? ZcarsRock.....even for us poor folk:)

I am a new owner to the Z car ranks. I've loved these cars since i was 7 years old. I remember seeing my first one in late 1969 as i was playing in my yard. I vowed one day i'd have one. Then there was the army, overseas tour after tour, marriage, kids...blah blah, so anyway i retire soon, and finally i got one!!! a shiney red 1972 240z for $2,000 bucks. I'll try to figure how to post a pic of it.
