Major screw up
Yea ive read it. Lokar cable seems to be the only way, when speaking cheap wire throttle. So close but so far. I could perhaps try to fabricate a rod to suit my needs also, i just dont know where. You can see that small disalignment. Another thing that worries me is that the inlet manifold and header are different sizes. What i mean by that is that the header is thicker from where you tighten it to the head, that warps the big "washer" and i dont know is the inlet tight enough. I've put some lock washers before big one and hopefully it solves the problem...

Major screw up
Got the carburetor linkage working and found proper 90-degree connector for brake booster. BUT i may have asked this before ( i couldnt find where): I need to find a easy to install / cheapish throttle cable. Linkage disaligns with the one in car, about 1.5 inch and the original rod does not bend that much. I will add picture later.

I've heard a lot of good about the Mallory pumps, too bad they cost twice more than any of the others. But they supposed to be quiet AND reliable.. cant afford both.

Difficult to start when hot
I dont know jack squat about EFI cars but i would bet its something to do with ecu overheating. Just my 2 cents.

What's in the back?
I have talked one person who have driven Z with such equipment inside, too bad he has no pictures of that as far as i remember, altough i can try to ask for specific details about the apparatus.

Major screw up
Well i decieded to continue this old thread, as this kinda is about my good luck with carburators. I ordered a linkage set from pierce manifold, provided them pictures of my current setup and write up. First of all, the rod is way too long, i guess you can cut it shorter without ruining it. Secondly, rod ends are with wrong threading, does not fit the manifold. Thirdly, IF the rod would be cut to proper size, my linkage wouldnt work as the brake booster tube is on the way... Check the pics. What would you do? Im still learning, dont want to be spoon fed but some creative ideas would be nice. http://sdrv.ms/19zV7Uf http://sdrv.ms/19zV8HO http://sdrv.ms/1cChDJo

Might be worth trying, as the price is so low. Still hoping if you guys have plenty of more pictures of different fuel pumps installed on Z

I already own this Holley regulator, so yes im putting it in http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/500/510/510-12-803.jpg Im using the stock fuel piping, so i meant that the fuel pump has return. I'll have to look into those RX7 pumps, might not be that cheap here. Carters are 150$ at cheapest.

Actually i have not yet purchased the pump, any pump will do, as long as it does these: 1) feeds the triples 2) has return line 3) easy to install 4) quite affordable
