Is there a way to reverse engineer another Grose jet into our SU's?

Complete Misfire on Three Cylinders
Also the valves could be rotating between adjustments. If the seats are inconsistent then your lash would change based on orientation

Patton Machine Fuel Injection
Yeah, that could be smoother

Patton Machine Fuel Injection
I have done some tuning on those years of GM vehicles. They have the ability to adjust the fuel base on the values in the fuel map and O2 input but it's limited. You will need to data log and adjust from there. Be careful and dont spool it up until you get the fueling closer.

Multi meter should be able to handle the diagnosis

California 1978 Datsun 280z Restomod
I have 2 turbo engines in the shop but when given the choice I would go NA over installing one of the turbo motors I have. It's just simpler and much more forgiving. If I build the other Z in the driveway, providing I live long enough, we might go turbo in that. If it stays broken all the time I will still have another Z to drive

Could it be loss of ground? He has power at the coil but it's an efi car. Does the starter spin the engine? ie Turnover? Does it fire at all when it spins? Will it fire if you shoot starter fluid into it?

Complete Misfire on Three Cylinders
I'm with Jonathon. I like the ARP studs but I have reused bolts in the past and have never broken one. I believe, possibly in error, that if they survive the torquing down then they should be good to go.

Is this a self learning system or do you need to program it? If it's not self learning then I wouldn't mess with the fuel pump unless I was sure it's starving for fuel

Series 1 Hatch Strut
If the one shock with the welded stud is inoperable. Grind the bracket off and grind the metal away until the only the stud is left.

That's quite the softball you're throwing for Cliff!

high idle speed issue
unless the filter was bypassing due to loss of filtration capacity. You might could build it back up but it would have to be hardened again and would be cost prohibitive.

GET AN s-30 ZCAR FOR A STEAL!!!!!!!!!
I had seen that one. I just can think of anything usable on that chassis. Maybe something under the car but I doubt it Typically when they get this hot the sheet metal is badly oil canned from the cold water sprayed on it. There is also the effects of the heat itself which changes the characteristics of the steel in the door

high idle speed issue
What would concern me most is where did all the metal end up.

Not worth my time to try to reinvent that wheel... no insult intended

Ron Tyler (RT) differential mount dimensions
Is the RT mount not available? Is it overly expensive?

300hp out of L28 non turbo
The later cars in the US have about 315hp and are very fast but they have problems with frame damage at that power level and thats not a 50 year old chassis designed for 140 hp or so
