    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
  3. 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/
  7. Dude!!! TayMac makes those post with integral dimmable LED lighting and Bluetooth speakers available!
  8. That's alot cheaper than Iwould have thought!
  9. 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
  15. 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
  16. I thought the $61k was low too
  17. That looks good! Always nice to have a nice surface to work off of
  18. I hate that about the glass trim. It is really frustrating to rip a gasket! Maybe SteveJ or some one else close can lend a hand and make the difference??

    Are you volunteering? 😉

    That all looks good Kats!
  21. A 2" rolok on a die grinder works like a small flap disc
  22. Could you take a die grinder and thin the inside of the scoop to make the valance line up?
  23. Pretty color but I find the interior clumsy and I think the shaved exterior makes the car look incomplete. Probably really quick though
  24. Yes, Well done!!
  25. If TerrapinZ doesn't have one, I might C
