  1. Here's your sign. Don't leave the chokes on for that long. Bet that will clear up your problem.
  2. That's what I was wondering, but forgot to ask. Although my stuff is clean, just dull.
  3. Wow that looks great. Makes me want to get at least my 280 fuel rails done. They look terrible right now.
  4. That's good you found it was "BCDD" Boost Controlled Deceleration Device.
  5. Thanks ZedHead.
  6. That Lead Noise Damper for the Differential By Gary L, August 29, 2016 in Engine and Drivetrain found this here on this site. Guess it was standard equip. Why mine doesn't have it I have no idea.
  7. It would be interesting to know why its there. My 77 doesn't have it and never did. I know another owner that does not have it either. So if it was there for noise deadening, or what ever reason, then shouldn't it have been on every 77? Assuming it's from your 77 280. I don't recall seeing it in the FSM either. I'll have to look for it when I get home.
  8. It was a good show. I liked the fab of the under body jack supports.
  9. Mine is a 5/77 with a flat deck if that helps. I think they were sloped before 5/77, IIRC.
  10. This tucks in under that bar running across from left to right. MSA sells it. It's the only "canister" filter I've ever replaced on my 77. I'm not sure that the charcoal one can be cleaned. Good question though. Code: 18-9061Price:$13.98
  11. Looks like you have a little coolant seepage at the thermostat housing. Could be a loose bolt, maybe. Or just a plain ol' dried up gasket.
  12. 77 and 78 used the same bumper rubber. It's what was on my 77. What a find! looks really good so far. Definitely need the rubber boot between the afm and throttle body. The efi is a simple system once you have an understanding of it. Lots of knowledgeable people on this site. Those compression numbers look great!
  13. I don't see a video link
  14. I have a Bose system, bass speaker with 2 surround speakers. Sound is wonderful. I'm curious, have you reversed the two connectors mentioned above yet?
  15. I've never heard a valve lash noise that loud before. Maybe my computer speakers are sensitive?
  16. What is that God awful sound coming from the engine? Sounds like something coming in contact with the fan blade or an improperly fitting distributor rotor? Doesn't anyone else here this?

    Or like Caltrans here in CA, 9 guys looking and 1 working.

    Where are you located? I live in the Ventura area and will be in Menifee this weekend.

    Amen to that!

    Wish I could be there to help you pull parts. I used to look forward to the weekends when I would go to pick and pull yards for z car parts. Never see anymore around here.
  21. I can't believe the side view mirror is still on the brown one!

    If you are talking about the foot rest pedal pad motorsport sells kits including that pad but they don't sell it separately. Actually it looks like zcardepot sells it separately. https://zcardepot.com/foot-rest-pedal-pad-rubber-oem-240z-260z-280z-70-78.html

    If I had it to do over I would get the bumper from the late 260z or the 76 280z and install them on my 77. They look better than the 77-78 ones. Then I would shave them getting them closer to the body. I like that look. There is a member here with that done IIRC. John, it really depends on what you are wanting for rear bumpers. If your not convinced one way or another then wait til later. Dont jump just because the tank is out. Pulling the tank a second time will be easier because you will done it already.

    I see that. Why did I think he was in FL? Anyway..... I have run with and without the egr and didn't notice a difference as far as performance goes.
