I dont see much demand for L24's in the US. I would probably strip it. Sell the head and accessories separately. Keep the odds and ends and scrap the block

We also have a pretty good driveline shop in spartanburg. I'm am planning on taking them a driveshaft soon

Who will you get to build it?

Yeah it is!!!

Yes the Shiro VSLD's had finned covers too.

So 22" above grade. Outlet ends up about 16-18" up. So I might have to get on all fours to plug something in. I was hoping outlet height would be 28-30 for easier access

So 30" above grade? Or is a significant portion buried?

I thought they'd be taller?

It's hard to tell without a close up but it looks to have a sheared line in the rubber going around

Lots of exterior trim, rot could be an issue. Looks like it's had several additions Electrical could need updating Pretty ginger bread work. My wife has always wanted one like that

I believe it is possible to get different year pointers and dampers mixed up. I would make a mark on the damper at TDC and add the other 4 five degree marks by approximation. Or you could use a dial back timing light with the TDC mark to get timing close. The dampers can shift even if you can't move it by hand

All good suggestions. Also check the eccentric on the camshaft that drives the pump. Make sure it's torqued properly. If the cheap ugly fuel pumps aren't too expensive, I would swap one in to help pinpoint the problem Several options on rockauto under $30, one under $20

We did this recently. We did it on the car because it allows you to put pressure on the glass easier. I got most of it in by myself and Cody helped me get it finished. Not as hard as the windshield but not super easy either. Be sure and use soapy water or the precision liquid etc.

That spring is very stiff! I don't think you can manipulate it by hand.

I was lookong on ztherapy's website. They offer a euro style balance tube. Smoothed and polished. All extraneous holes welded up. On another note, I didn't know Bruce Palmer had passed away! He was always so nice on the phone... 😞

I believe he is looking for the spring stopper that bolts to the bottom not the actual latch strike itself. I found these. A decent price if they really exist https://www.2040-parts.com/datsun-240z-door-latch-hardware-i1141977/

Dude!!! TayMac makes those post with integral dimmable LED lighting and Bluetooth speakers available!

That's alot cheaper than Iwould have thought!

Those are nice looking posts. They look expensive. If it's in conduit it doesn't need to be very deep

If you go straight to a temporary tank it will tell you which half of the system is the problem. That will speed up your diagnosis and reduce wasted effort

If it's a Maxima caliper or something similar, it is mechanical but not visible. All internal to the caliper

I don't recall but: Are all the fuel lines new? What is the condition of the tank? If it were me, I would rig up a 1 gallon fuel tank in front of the radiator support. Use the system from the under hood fuel filter in. Drive it around in the cul de sac on that. If it doesn't act up it's in the rear section of the fuel system. Probably the tank

If it was me and not cost prohibitive I would order all 8 in stainless. The exchange rate is very much in your favor currently

He does make some neat things. Thanks for the link

I saw this article today. I thought it was interesting. The S30 is right in the grey zone between the two groups https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/millennials-begin-influencing-classic-car-auctions-baby-boomers-might-take-hit-old
