  1. You should list diameters and widths for each set
  2. Patcon replied to DJDean13's topic in Help Me !!
    That would be really cool!
  3. https://www.240zrubberparts.com/product-page/240z-brake-booster-insulator-red
  4. It started as red and disintegrated to pinkish white
  5. I'm not sure why it has that isolator around it. Reproductions are available
  6. I have become a big fan of batteries from Rural king. Might be because our store is new but I can get good batteries cheaper there than I can at the auto parts store on my business account
  7. Surprising they are so far off KFvintage has a good reputation. Maybe send some feedback to them?
  8. Yes, that is the brake booster check valve
  9. Was the cooling fan new or did you clean it somehow?
  10. Nice to still see you around!
  11. I have always done the adjustment without the spring attached. Remove the slack in the lever by hand, adjust, then reattach the spring
  12. Especially if the new bushings are urethane. They make adjustable tension rods which would allow you to center the wheel in the arch
  13. They tore the fool out of that! $$$
  14. If you zoom in on the first picture you can see the seams on the molded corner
  15. The sharper bend is at the top
  16. They do today. I wonder if they will in the future when a higher percentage of drivers can't drive a manual car...
  17. Or the dash foam may not be as full in that area...
  18. No, any brand. They're likely all Asian and they should be fairly cheap with a laser pointer
  19. I suspect the accessory relay but I don't even know where it is. I'm unsure if there are any other relays that would need checking
  20. So I received a brand new ignition switch. Just the rear switch portion. Attached like so, with no key mechanism Turned it with a screwdriver No brake light until I bumped the starter. Then the brake light was on. When I turn it back quickly to the lock position the car continues to run, although poorly, and the brake light is still on
  21. Buy an IR gun like this All kinds of uses. When your car is good and warm, shoot the thermostat housing and verify against the gauge . When the car acts up in traffic, scan the carbs, float bowls, fuel rail, etc to see if something is unusually hot
  22. Those are really thick!
  23. When we started we substituted a different switch on the back of the installed mechanism. Same result. Then I found my box of switches and tried two more. They all do it, but there are oddities. The brake light doesn't light up at first, but after I cycle the switch it stays on in the lock position. I'm unsure where to go from here. I will try the switch loose, maybe tomorrow, but I'm not sure if the detents are in the switch or the key mechanism
  24. I am running the engine harness I stole out of the brown Z. I never replaced it with the harness you reworked for me. I was thinking there is a relay that provides power to the main systems like the coil? If I turn it quickly to the lock position, the car will continue to run, but not as nicely
