Even better!

Probably, PM me She's pretty familiar with Z cars

Love the color! the results look really good and you did that really fast!

I'm not surprised it didn't come cleaner. The chemicals get less and less aggressive every year

Has the fuel tank been lined or restored? Sometimes tank liner can block up the lines. I would take a little piece of SS aircraft cable and route it into the tank line to make sure it's clear. I have even chucked long pieces up in a cordless drill for stopped up hardlines

I would drive as far as it took to get the car I wanted, but I like to drive. Not a huge fan of planes either but we have had people from the forum fly in to look at cars and then drive them home. I prefer to trailer an unkown to me car. Ask for a couple of days off. Maybe a Friday and Monday. That gives you 4 days. Where in Ohio? My daughter is in Columbus

In todays market, if you find a decent car for a reasonable price you have to move on it. Go see it, give a deposit, something...

I am more than willing to lose the Hp to run AC

Synching all those would be fun!!

Z therapy?

I was thinking the pump was a hardened material? If so it took something significant to damage it like that

I will do some looking around California Datsun has one and may do it but I wouldn't deal with him for any reason https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-260Z-280Z-REBUILT-steering-rack-pinion-complete-with-new-boots-/154016286981 I did find these two. I don't know if they would handle a vintage rack or not... https://turnonesteering.com/rebuilding-services/rack-and-pinion-rebuilding/ https://www.rackdoctor.net/

I won't tell!

Griots makes good stuff. They are a little proud of it...

I dont really have recommendations on tires because size dictates the options. There are several threads about tire selection. The bigger the contact patch, the higher the grip. Even when turning

Yes, I call that scrubbing. Struts, fender lips or an air dam if you have one. If they dont scrub then I would run as wide as I could

There maybe be part numbers either on the ends of the caps or on the center yoke

Do they scrub?

That's good progress!

They also sell cut a gasket material at most parts stores

How will you retain the bearing? Interference fit?

Eiji at Datsun spirit might be able to help

If the car will start without the chokes, then the main Butterflies is all you really have to have. Sometimes the downdrafts need the chokes but I believe they also have an accelerator pump which could be used instead of a choke

They are brass and easily damaged
