240Z WILL NOT run right
If you go straight to a temporary tank it will tell you which half of the system is the problem. That will speed up your diagnosis and reduce wasted effort

If it's a Maxima caliper or something similar, it is mechanical but not visible. All internal to the caliper

240Z WILL NOT run right
I don't recall but: Are all the fuel lines new? What is the condition of the tank? If it were me, I would rig up a 1 gallon fuel tank in front of the radiator support. Use the system from the under hood fuel filter in. Drive it around in the cul de sac on that. If it doesn't act up it's in the rear section of the fuel system. Probably the tank

Help ID brake calipers
If it was me and not cost prohibitive I would order all 8 in stainless. The exchange rate is very much in your favor currently

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
I hate that about the glass trim. It is really frustrating to rip a gasket! Maybe SteveJ or some one else close can lend a hand and make the difference??

Could you take a die grinder and thin the inside of the scoop to make the valance line up?

Pretty color but I find the interior clumsy and I think the shaved exterior makes the car look incomplete. Probably really quick though

What ohm is your current coil?
-
Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
Are you using the ballast resistor? If not, it seems foolish to not follow the manufacturers instructions
-
Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
That distributor looks like a good option " 3.0 ohm coil required with ballast resistor delete"
-
Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
I agree, although new doesn't always mean good. I would start with the dizzy. I think if the coil was the problem then it would be more even across all the cylinders. Although the lastest fouling could indicate a broader problem.

Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
Post a link to the distributor not a screen shot He has tested leads, caps plugs, pretty much everything. The only thing he hasn't done is remove the pertronix from the system. You could just replace the dizzy and see if that fixes the problem. If not then plug wires and coil last...
-

No replace the ignition with a totally different setup from the dizzy & coil to the plug wires
