So I know I have a mech fuel pump on my 260z but few days after I picked it up and driving the hell out of it! I started to hear this sound that kinda like a slow air pump for a fish tank! and its in the location of the electric fuel pump but looks like nothing stock and is a small box thats wired in! and has fuel lines running to it! Its now making a kinda odd knocking sound as if its dieing! but i'm not sure if I even need it!

Running a 225/60/14 At 70 mph on my speed-o I'm doing about 60mph 225/60/14 is a circumference 77.4 Is the stock 175hr14 a 82 inch circumference? If yes that would explain the problem. Also what sizes should I use I see people say 195/70/14's is that right? If I switch rims or get some thing nicer like 15's. What size wheel should I get? and what tire to match it?

thanks I set it to 15 at idle i'll see how it runs when i got it was set to like 5 and ran like crap then i turned it up to 12 and it ran great fast and smooth! and started quicker! now 15 well see what happens I also turned up the gas!

oh also whats the timing sitting at at idle with the vac advance hooked up?

yea I don;t have that kinda money to send yet! =) i'm just working with what the car came with! sad part was on my web page a kids was selling a mega jolt set up for 50 bucks with every thing few months back! hmm the only thing i would like to know is at what rpm does the mech advance go full out on my dizzy i know nothing about it yet just popped off the came and was like oh well thats nice no points!

So I got my 260z with a mallory unilight and its mech advance! stock timing should be 8* with a vac advance dizzy what should it be running a mech advance!? seeing i'm not running a vac advance should I up the timing at idle? and whats this about switching to a ZX dizzy?

yea i got all the parts but still have to mix and match alot of parts

Ah well black is the plan but did your car come with factory brown carpet?

already watched those but thanks! I got a uni-syn today I think it got it right but the higher RPM balance is little harder for me

yes I do need a carb balance tool! I know there are few kinds out there I have the 260 FSM and the old old 240z ones which is like 7 book unlike the 260 which all in one book!

Yea I have tired sreaching some confusing and found alot of post that were not very helpful

I don't have much time and I need to get this car back to storage! I need the steps to set the idle for both carbs. Also any tips with fuel Bowls. I would but just su you DVD but I need the car back to storage by Friday night!

Well besides 260 what's else had sliding shaft

Yea I need that short hook linkage to work with my bracket

AH! I see the problem now! seems 73 to 74 had a different shaft from the balance tube to the fire wall I have the 72 but need the shorter 73-74 that has a boot on it! here is the old set up! new hybrid parts 74 intake N36 with 72 balance tube E48?

hey all So i ditched the weber DVG carbs on my early 260z and picked up a set of 72 SU carbs in good shape and got all the to the fire wall! But the joint/ socket does not match the with the 72 linkage do I have to find all that linkage at the firewall to make it all work? I can post photos if needed!

and also as for the gasket i was looking at the only book i have which is a 4 screw carb book and they run gaskets

hi all ! I just picked a full intake/ setup with take off a "running car" and here are some pics if you could help me out! should there be a gasket under the dome? front carb Does it it need that thumb lock screw? back carb with thumb screw but no rubber seal between bowl and carb. Does it need one? Also these are off a 72 and I went threw them every thing moves great nothing is stuck! but i'm running them on a 260z would i need to swap out the springs at all or throw them on and see what happens?

still nothing!

no shag! was mint under the carpet but tons of glue on it! Had to go! all better Now if that back panel is going to be tan along with the trans tunnel would black carpet not be right for the car? going to need a full set and the straps! set if they still make it!

lucky for me I got a FSM and owners manual! and I got a Metallic green car WEE!

Man those seat covers are crazy! yea i'm not really sure its kinda hard to find out the details on these tan cars!

So I picked up my car and an owner at some point put in house carpet. Its look pretty bad! I would like to replace it with The best factory look like! Also Does any one have photos of what The stock 260Z butterscotch interior looks like? I looked in the galley but was not sure whats stock and whats not. And what does it look like behide the seats before the storage bins! I'll post some photos up tonight Of what i'm dealing with here! its not so great!

on most forums there are sticky's at the top on common write up for motor info Did I miss that section some where Just looking to learn about what block and head combo's work best

In my quest to learn every thing about my new 260z I'm having a hard time finding all the specs on my new car! Such as motor specs, drive train specs and how to ID what parts I have like head, rear ends, what gear is in the car and so on. I have looked around on google alot and other few places, but nothing. I have tried searching on here but maybe i'm not putting in the right wording? any help would be great i'm trying to getting it more street able and nicer to drive around! But for those problems i'll keep them to that section in the forum thanks!
