Auction for my 72 240z
I agree to. I think the market has cooled off some. Might pick up in the spring because of the 50 anniversary. Christmas can be a weak time of year to sell a car like this. Other priorities...

510 engine swap
No access to it from the backside I assume? Looks pressed in but I'm guessing

I don't really do any circuit board work. Right now I don't see it in my future. I think that is what they are referring to

1977 280z Stock Tire Size Help
I am pretty sure I ran Goodyear Eagle GT's in high school that were 225's on stock rims but they did scrub. Now that has been a long time ago...

L28 full rebuild assembly
You really want to balance the pistons separately if you are going to do it. The rods should be balanced big end and little end. If you are going to do it, I would have the shop separate them for you then heat and reassemble when done. Fairly inexpensive to have done. If you're going to spend the time, might as well do it the best way possible You could probably come up with a way to separate them at home. a couple of sockets and a C clamp or something but you need to heat the small end to reassemble them.

I am leaning towards this https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-323-KIT-Multimeter-Clamp/dp/B00DTSLWRA/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=fluke+117&qid=1575730850&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sr=8-5 One article spoke about "consistant spurious currents", in what conditions do these currents show up? Is this what I see when measuring a section of a 3 way light switch and there is some lower voltage being indicated even though that leg of the switch is off?

FS5W71B Rebuild Thread - Tips tricks and discoveries!
Thanks for locating that. In the case of the shifter fork pictured, why can't the lost material be added back? Are they hardened? Some other reason? Just thinking out loud...

SS Bumpers from Vietnam
So you dealt with Amy. I wish I had. I did ok but there was some run around and the finish could be a little better. Its interesting they fabricate out of a little shop. Pretty cool!

1977 280z Light Restoration Project
I would say that is one of the refrigerant lines to the AC compressor. Has Freon in it. Do not crack it open! Your best bet is to remove any clips if possible to make it looser and work around it. As for the engine bay line, I would say that is just grime of some sort. Wash away...

I would pick up any 5 speed for $75, but I am some what of a "collector"

general relay question
I assumed voltage could play a role but couldn't think of a situation where voltage would be that low. Less than 8v's in a 12v system

general relay question
Do you really want to know Volts? not amps? Is your car not running 12volts?

Timing chain set up incorrectly????
If you can get the timing set properly without turning the spindle it becomes arbitrary. What you run into sometimes is you run out of adjustment if the spindle isn't clocked properly to start with. Some people have even had to compensate by moving each spark lead one hole to be able to set the timing properly. It's better if the spindle is clocked properly but doesn't have to be if you can set the timing properly. Is there any reason oil shouldn't be flowing to the top? did you just replace the pump? Did you fill it with oil when you put it on? Sometimes they have a hard time priming themselves. Removing the plugs will help but don't over heat the starter!
