If I ever get my plating back, I might have a pair

I would use the SU's if the engine isn't too wild. I think it will be hard to get the OER's close enough

I have had it happen but I agree it's probably very rare. I still tend to do it. I use the copper anti seize. Haven't had a spark issue yet. Is an interesting anecdote though.

My first thought was general lee. Dirt road, 3 kids in the car. Jump, coil bind, bad springs....

@zKars Do they have the proper construction?

Very nice!! From green funk to that...

I believe you will have to make a way to seal one or both sides of the booster to hold vacuum...

I agree with Zed You also need to run premium fuel if you are unsure of the compression ratio. Maybe retard the ignition some until you figure out compression ratios

Yes, exactly! 😎

I wonder if there are a number of parts using that number bit vary in construction?

The ones I had, had very large shoulders on the yoke that prevented them from going in easily

As for your adhesive. If you paint is catalyzed lacquer thiiner or adhesive remover should work without paint damage. But test it in a spot that is not visible

I agree with CO Gone in 60 seconds. My youth was very colorful. If I really wanted to protect it, put a tracker in it. It'll tell you if it moves and you can lead the cops right to it. Provided they're still interested in that sort of thing where you live...

I used those myself but found they needed a little clearancing to get into the yoke ends. Did you have any issues?

Post up some rebuild results and tie this off nicely

Super!

300 mm and look how much space to the shock tower...

If I were going to repair this car, I would also replace all of the cowl. Probably all of the inner and outer cowl structure. I suspect the inner is very thin from rust and the outer is basically gone. Is this area an anomaly or is there extensive rust in the rest of the car?

If all 3 on one carb are like that, I would start there. Maybe stuck choke or choke cable binding up

@Mike Could a page be made to house some of these really helpful links? Tire calculators Engine calculators Zcar registries Atlantic z car links Etc

I have always found Dave Patton to be very helpful

What makes you think the Canon is insufficient? I think I would do some volumetric calculations to see what the engine might want based on final displacement. I would also contact whomever is now supporting mikunis II don't remember if Wolf still does it) and somebody for the webers (Redline maybe) and see what their thoughts are on the respective carbs for the proposed engine. The 40s should perform better down low but that's not an absolute

14.3? I assume

Dizeased would tell you more cam. He's built half a dozen Z engines, atleast My first thought is what king of head porting is being done?

The wilwood does something totally different. The nissan part senses a circuit failure front or back. Slides the piston and lights the brake light. The wildwood changes brake bias front and tear which is what the part on the rear circuit is supposed to do. I wood heat the aluminum to get the caps off. The aluminum should expand faster that the steel. Good fitting impact sockets that wont expand. One I had them loose. I would try to block the ports as necessary and use air to move the piston. Failing that I would rig up a way to use a grease gun on it and see if I could force it out that way. I wonder if a PO had a circuit failure and replaced the switch on a misdiagnosis and the second switch did the same thing. You could also source a new switch with the double end caps
