Weber selection and initial jet tuning
couldn't watch the video. The play bar moves with sound but no video. I have used a match box dizzy with the standard tach.

Nope, you just use that distributor, stand alone, with an appropriate coil and a little wiring

Who did the headwork? Any idea on compression?

I knew the quote, but didn't know who to contribute it to, thanks for that. I agree with all those sentiments...

My weekly rant. Premature Parts Death Plague
I hate to beat on a hornets nest but... The government is too big! Its a leviathon and is no longer controllable by the people. "This form of government is only suitable for a moral people". I am not sure we still qualify as that. We elect unscrupulous, amoral leaders and are surprised when they retire from congress as millionaires. The problem is I havent been able to come up with a fix. I guess the best place to start is a moral populace that demands change... Its a complicated problem with lots of moving parts and agendas

Rare and super rare Z - parts pricing! JUST ASK your question here!
Decent doors are anywhere from $200-300 here in the states. A really clean door might push $400 from what I've seen. So $600 in europe doesn't seem unreasonable. I don't know on the rear glass

*Very* Rare Part... I'm out at $1200
Why don't you hoover the pictures and post them here. Then we can both use them as a reference to fab one ? Cable throttle, hand throttle, choke cable

1972 240Z Vintage Z Program Car up for Auction on BaT
That will be another interesting one to watch. There is a nice clean 73 and a decent looking looking 76 survivor on there right now too

My weekly rant. Premature Parts Death Plague
I have had a pertronix do exactly the same thing at a relatively young age on a 350 chevy. I have been told heat can kill them. Mine died around August. I wonder if heat played a part in your failure too.

Handbrake reassembly
Take the cable loop all the way loose from the lever, so the cable can slide into the jacket. That 4 or 5 inches of slack should help

Headlight Washer Jet/Nozzle
Not if that one is closest to the pump and the line goes up somewhat from there. The jets are really just open holes on the end of the line. I would expect the pump to be what determines if fluid comes out or not. Admittedly I have touched one in a long time

Solid Series I 240Z on Craigslist
My wife does facebook, I do not, but she has posted a few things on market place and they sell very fast. I find the market place clumsy and hard to search...

Headlight Washer Jet/Nozzle
I suspect it is the pump leaking not the jet

sleeving master cylinders
Of course you would do better than them! One of the really exceptional people at this has apparently retired several years ago. I know of only 2 companies still offering these services. Don't know on cost yet.
