Terrapin Z

Funny - Pic one and Pic six are the same pic just reversed, but not the 240Z script. Smells fishy!! That car sure is dirty for being in an auction setting.

Keep tabs on the reaction disc if you do pull things apart. Beats having to go back in when you reassemble with it dislodged.

Ha hA😅 ha🤣 HA😂...... Must be a UK thing.......and shouldn't that come "FromThe7Tees"

The paper books are cool, I have one. I still mostly use the website for looking things up. It is also free.

https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=280z+online+catalog&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I literally googled your thread title. All of these are good places. Check out the fourth on the list. Best of luck with your car. 😬

That is "Bill The Cat" from from Bloom County comic strip.

That number comes up discontinued here in the states.

If the car has been worked on in its life, those lift tabs are often missing, Easy enough to make something similar. The rear one was on the last exhaust stud IIRC. I have even pulled a motor and trans out lifting from the engine mounts with a tractor. (parts car)

I too scrapped out a few cars that I regret not saving. The rear view mirror is 20/20 as they say. Now I keep everything I can. I saved this off a 70 shell I picked up a while ago, as it was in too good of shape to scrap. I cut the firewall below the spot weld line. Most of the A pillars are there too. The bottom was toast. Getting it to FL might be a challenge, but if you were interested........

Agreed, you would not want to cut up a NOS part for just a small section of it. I couldn't see the whole part in you pic. I just thought I would throw it out there. I have a 260Z I am parting as well I PM'ed you some pics of that.

I think it is for the 260-280, so some slight differences from the 240.

Sounds like the best plan for now, Soak it!! hope it frees up for you.

Question sent.

Here is an older thread.

My 70 and 73 both had the double gland style. My 76 280Z has the same style as your pic.

I think the one in your first pic is for a 280Z At least that is what I found online with a quick search. Here are some pic's of the internals for the 240Z valve I found as well.

That is the one the original poster of this thread asked for it is a single year model. that mounts like the early one but has the side bushings as well. Looks like you are actually after the one in post 15, the earlier one. correct? I didn't look at the quoted picture and it does not show up until I click the "expand" link on it. Thanks for clarifying.

There is one on eBay but is looks like it was pretty rusted then repainted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203533285676?hash=item2f6387792c%3Ag%3ABb4AAOSw9M9g-fp0&LH_ItemCondition=4

I have some used 240 tanks if you want to go that route. Brazing or JB are also good options.
