Well, I got my car home today, It ran all the way so I guess I have it running decent. It has an oil leak and there is a lot of work to do but I will enjoy doing it. I have to fix my daughters car before I can really get started with the z.

My first Z was an 86 300 I got 4 tickets in 6 months and had to sell it. I stumbled on a 77 280z that was being restored but he hasn't worked on it for a few years. I brought it back to life two weekends ago it runs great I am going to get it home and really start to work on it. I have been working on cars for about 25 years. I have some really good ideas for it hopefully I will be able to make a great car out of it.

Cool I just brought mine back to life two weekends ago. It needs a lot of work but it will be cool when I am done. The body is solid and the price was right.

One other thing, I was able to find a service manual for my 77 Z on the web. It will have all of the specs and should help you troubleshoot also. So look for one for yours.

Looks like the front carb is running rich, It could be the idle setting or the jets.
