They look remarkedly similar to the ones I bought at Kmart in the early 80s when I lived in rural Texas. They might still be stowed away somewhere in my shop.

Looks like I'll be changing the plate on my '73.

They are in Canton. I used them a year or so ago. They rebuild your unit. I think it took a week or so.

Attended my first local cars and coffee since moving to the North Georgia mountains. As expected, mostly US cars, with only 4 Japanese and a few BMWs.

When I bought my 73 in 1979 the dealer mods to correct vapor lock had already been installed, including the "competition hood". I did not know anything about this until the internet came along. The car ran well and kept its tune. It wasn't until it was about 35 years old before it started with the vapor lock problem. Years later I swapped to rebuilt round tops. I think the flat tops were just worn out, no different at that age than round tops.

To install the new shocks I bought 3 years ago.

Adding 2x4's between the joists won't be necessary as long as whatever decking he installs is adequately nailed to the joists.

My '73 has the dealer added electric fuel pump that has an internal filter. This is the only photo in my archives I could find. It shows the pump but not the bracket.

Installed the rebuilt brake booster and new master cylinder today. Booster was rebuilt by Harmon Classic Brakes. They sent back the parts they replaced, and surprisingly they look pretty good for 51 years old. It was time for a rebuild, as brakes needed too much effort and stepping on the brake peddle at a stop light caused the engine RPMs to increase. Also flushed out the old brake fluid.

Massive hood scoop in all its glory.

Note that the sidemarker kit does not work if you have LED bulbs in your turn signals and/or side lights. Says so in the instructions that come with the kit, and I confirmed it.

My original 73 manifold was sitting on a shelf. It is an N33.

Four members of the Georgia Z Club participated in my city's Christmas Parade. We would have liked a better turnout, but had some competition from some football game. A good time was had and we enjoyed barbecue afterwards.

Top one looks like the one from my 10/72 240Z

Check that the hood release handle is returning all the way. Mine no longer does and I have to remember to push it in or the hood pops open at random times during a drive.
