well as some of u might remember my last problem was well what i thought at least was the distributor, well i converted over to a complete electronic ignition, 73 distributor with ignitor set up with flamethrower coil, anyways i put it on, car still wouldent run but sparked really hot, so this spring break week i had off i pulled the timing cover and everything else u have to in order to get it off,re did the timing chain because when the engine was built it got put together backwards, on the exhuast stroke instead of compression stroke, so i get that correct and adjust all the valves put everything all back together (finally) sprayed the su's with some engine starter fluid and started it.........nope dident start, messed with it and got it to start somewhat, but now it seems my SU's are the problem as they dont respond at all when u hit the gas pedal, only way i found to rev the engine is to put rags in front of the carbs and block them and the engine will rev up, when you take the rags off the engine will go back to idle'ing crappy. lots of smoke out the muffler, occasional carbs backfiring smoke , anyways i dunno what all that means, still learning about SU's. oh yea the front timing cover is leaking oil like crazy.so i guess now im back to where i was earlier this week and im going to have to buy a new timing cover gasket and pull everything apart again. im just kinda dissapointed in the z,i really cant afford to be replacing part after part in the first place and then getting no satisfaction of driving it and having no car to drive, out of the 10 months ive owned it, its ran for about 2 and half. im just fed up with the z, all i do is put money into it, im starting to think about pulling the l24 and parting it out and saving up for a v8.
