I think a short voyage is a better idea!

That does not look like the typical California car

Me too! Best of luck Jim @Zup

Do all you can to document the miles. If it is a 350 mile car, it is extremely valuable for a 280Z. I might be inclined to assemble it and run it through a high profile auction (leave the dust on it!). Then take the proceeds and buy a finished car. or you could put 20k miles on it and it would still be a very low mileage 280Z but you need to be able to verify the mileage. Maybe hire an appraiser to help verify the mileage. It would be worth the extra expense!

That looks like the vacuum advance movement

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...

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

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

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

I think those numbers are great! Can you summarize your engine set up for a reference point?

I knew the swarf maker would come up with an elegant solution!

If you want to flag a post to a particular user, you can type the "@" symbol and then their username (no space) in the reply box. You will see a drop down list appear. Select their name from the list and it will send them a notification. It will narrow the options as you type the username... @camaro-guy

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

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.

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

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

Be sure and mount the hood before working on the buckets or fenders. Would hate to see you fix it and then have to redo it.

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...

I suspect it is the pump leaking not the jet

Yes, there are cups on boths sides. Four in all. I dont know the id on the bracket hole. I am sure its somewhat oversized

Unfortunately I don't see a way to make it this year. Cody will be out of the country and I am getting pummeled with unexpected bills. Just don't have the money right now, even for a quick trip. Have fun and be safe!
