240Z vs. Ferrari
Also the Z is as fast or faster 0-60 than all the 308's other than the Quattrovalvole. It's also cheaper to pick up some horsepower than a Ferrari would be. For a little more than a timing belt service you can get a Rebello or Datsun Spirit motor!

240Z vs. Ferrari
The Lotus is too small and I won't fit The Ford GT is too expensive to insure or to leave in a parking lot the Lancia would be expensive to maintain too. I want a car I can actually park somewhere and not feel like it's going to be gone or trashed when I get back. At one point Ferrari 328's were not unreasonable but where can you park it and leave it? You can't... if you go out for a drive you have to bring it home or park it somewhere safe.

The parts are cheaper for sure and no dread about timing belt grenades

Tranny swap problem
Double check that you have no slippage by trying to accelerate hard in a high gear from a low rpm. It is possible to end up in a situation where the clutch doesn't fully engage (ie get full pressure)

[2019] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?
I guess most of my question was just based on the impression that Sean(?) makes some very nice exhaust parts. I don't necessarily consider it a move backwards, but was looking for the impetus

1976 280z engine runs rough then dies, will not idle.
Very few experts still alive for these AFM's. Stick with it and these guys will help you get it sorted. Even some of the refurb'd AFM's run rich. Your problem is solvable. Just need to have confidence in the test results. Confirming your gauge is good is probably a good move.

Lash pad fell off top of valve spring
You could drain some fuel out of the tank and see if it is overly red

I hate to add a cook to the kitchen but is it possible the fuel rail has an internal restriction? I don't remember the vehicle history, but if there were a restriction near the return port that would keep fuel pressure high through all these test. Varnish, rust, contaminant...

Parts Wanted: 280 Power Antenna Part
Is one of these the right antenna? Is this the piece showing through? It's in the antenna 3rd from the right I didn't want to break it down further than that

Home Built Z 'Full video build'
@Home Built by Jeff I have to tell you something funny. My wife was waiting on me to get ready for bed last night. It was late and she could here me bumping around in the kitchen. She told me "then I heard that Australian guy and I quit waiting" I was watching your video!
