Cam Sprocket Position
My first suspect would be tensioner. Either damaged, no or low oil flow. New cam bar may exacerbate an already marginal oil system?

Wanted...Factory Topy steel Wheels
I think a fair price for steel wheels with the correct build date? I would say over $100 a wheel. With tires add another $100 a wheel. If you could buy them shipped cross country for a $1000 or less than I would buy them. You are not very likely to find another set

Z's on BAT and other places collection
DCOE's can have a cable running across the back side to control the choke operation but many people don't even hook them up

Yes, Webers normally have an accelerator pump

Just picked up a couple of new old stock 240Z fenders/wings
I agree, I would not chemical strip or even blast them. If you decide it needs to come off, then sand it off

Carb issue
You were correct earlier when you said you would need to pull the transmission. Once you do, make the search like Zed Head suggested for the threads that discuss clutch plate stacked heights. You will very likely need a new collar to work with the clutch you installed. Although there is the possibility that the clutch fork is damaged. We can advise further once we see pics of the fork, pivot and clutch setup

I might strip them if it is an uncatalyzed paint. If it doesn't come off with lacquer thinner, then I would do like Grannyknot suggested

If that's the clutch at rest it won't ever work properly

Fan clutch
Great BTW I'm gonna need diy circuits for dummies!

Carb issue
I agree, I think it will be a collar, pressure plate height problem

Fan clutch
I would be really interested in your fan controls and how to make one!
-
Carb issue
So with the pedal down and the clutch fork pressed like that, it still doesn't want to shift?

Carb issue
Are those pictures of the clutch fork with the clutch pedal NOT being pushed? If so the problem is inside the bellhousing

1976 280 Z from Ohio to Dubai
Too much fuel can make idle idle funky. Big injectors can make tuning difficult because the resolution is so poor on the low end. On a 350 I once tuned, I had to go to variable fuel pressure regulator to get it tuned properly

I am 99% that Z trim won't work. The 510 windshield has a lot less curvature at the bottom. Please, if it's not a major problem

Cody's Goon
Also I was looking at the stainless trim for the windshield and some of it is damaged, the bottom piece especially. Does anyone have some they would like to part with? @zKars @Terrapin Z

Zx 5 speed rebuild
That's great! I will count them... On a different note, is the 4 speed reverse of a similar construction that I could pirate all 3 pieces from a spare 4 speed?

Cody's Goon
Thanks guys. Slow progress but any progress right now is good. Cody wants to try to take it to Zcon in Colorado. He'll be 21 that week
