  1. Possibly both... I am more familiar with the earlier cars. I believe on them, the PCV is connected to the valve cover
  2. I believe there is a flame arrestor inside that hose
  3. What is the possibility of a neutral switch input for the auto ECU?
  4. Hey ya'll, watch dis!

    What is the cleaning method for large parts like this? Sanded to what grit?
  6. Tyler has all three of the ads. He wants 3k for a rusted out 260z??? I don't think so!!!
  7. My cheap flaring tool has a two step process for making double flairs. The first is a flat disc with a pin that bulges the end of the line. The second is a cone that flairs the line against the clamp body to complete the flair. You can make the bulges by just using the first step and not over doing it
  8. I don't know if the 280zx tach triggers the same way the older cars do. A little research on the 280zx wiring diagram should help with that

    Be careful about disconnecting an alternator while the engine is running. You can damage components on some vehicles this way
  10. 280zx? Year?
  11. I guess it depends on who you heard that from... The distributor you have in there is running a lot of Zs just fine, and 510's for that matter. It is missing the vacuum advance by the looks of it. I wouldn't change it for now. Work on the other issues, like the INOP tachometer. Personally I wouldn't make changes to the car unless there is an obvious problem. Once it is 100% sorted, then you can tinker if you want and you will be able to readily see the results of the changes
  12. A quick question, what is the point of going to the MSD box? The distributor is already electronic and the spark should be more than hot enough for most applications
  13. The bulge can be added with a good flairing tool. The first step die for a hand flairer will bulge the line
  14. I have used the line material from Fedhill and they have been great. I have the Eastwood flairing tool and can flair an entire cars worth of lines in an hour or 2. We're not that far apart geographically...

    The indention is there so it will meet the subframe rail. There is a step in there on the subframe that aligns with that indention. There is a row of spot welds through the bottom of the indention
  16. Rotary compressor Lots of vacuum tubing, it looks like and wouldn't install on a LH drive car based on the way it's drawn...

    It is a very nice looking car. All the zinc hardware looks great
  18. He reconized it for the opportunity it was and made great money!!!

    What exactly are you trying to authenticate? Its definitely a 280zx... ?
  20. My high side expectation was low six figures. If you had suggested 310k, I would have said you were crazy! An amazing pricepoint for a car that still had some flaws
  21. There should also be a secondary adjustment screw that might get you some more room. It faces down on the other side of the distributor base. DON'T break it off
  22. Me too. Especially when Cody's been in the shop!

    or the battery voltage is low when the car is off and the alternator brings it up when idleing

    Is the right side mirror a wide view mirror?

    Floor plans are not cost prohibitive. It seems to make sense to just buy them versus the amount of time it would take to make substitutes
