Well Z World I bought a Z with the 4bbl set up. Decided to get a Rebello motor but I can not run a 4bbl with a Rebello motor, right? So I was wondering if anyone on here has any good Z car gurus that can convert me back to those bell tops. I am not having any luck finding a write up on it.

NO responses!!!!!! aaahhh I was wondering what to do with the cylinder head too? etc.

I just replaced my front bumper on my 73 a couple months ago let me know if you want some pictures.

I would like to know about the choke cable too if anyone finds a source. I bought the Z with the 4bbl and it has an electric choke For restore purposes it would be great to have the cable.

I have the rubber pieces for the 73 bumpre and they are all in very good shape. I will loan them but would like them back, just let me know.

Still in progress, I have just sanded and primed 72 rear bumper mounts. Need to paint then install to finish the job. School/work/and the lovely gf just eat the clock every day, it seems. New z projects have grown anyways, rebello 3.0L, 5 speed, flywheel, clutch, headers, exhaust and the debate over the arizona manifold and carbs are up for debate.

That is a sexy car!

Dean, regarding the rear bumper and if I am filling the holes left by the shock struts in the rear? My 73 does not have any rear shock struts that need to be filled no GOV. mandate for safer bumpers in the tail in the 73z yet, I suppose.

I just work slow, and have not worked my way to the back of the car yet. I am going to buy some new bolts to mount the front bumper today before work. From the information I have gathered it seems that the mounting brackets have to be from any z car older then the 73 240zs. So a 71 would woork etc. I dont think, I am going to fill in any holes left by the old brackets just in case I want to go back. But I will let you know when I make it to the Zs tail.

Very, nice and well spent I am sure, cant wait to upgrade my crappy carb set up.

They must keep messing up and redoing the paint job, 1+ years that is crazy I would go to someone else your car is a classic and deserves first priority right................................. ahahah good luck

Found the problem..... My z had the 280zx conversion done and mechanic installed a regulator and tossed the plug causing some wierd stuff to happen.

http://www.groupharrington.com/en/part/36/datsun-240z-and-260z-bumpers.html I was looking for the older style bumpers and and just said what the heck and purchased the pricey stainless steel bumpers. I found a local Z car guru that had the correct mounting brackets, and now it is time to install. I am in the procedure of installing just need the time. I sanded most of the rust of the old/new bumper mounts used some OSPHO (an acid) just for kicks on the remaining rust. Removed the old front bumper, bumper mounts, and the grill. Currently priming and painting the old/new mounts Here are some pictures

Will do this saturday thanks for all of the help

Found out the issue i think ...... battery is just being drained really fast. Attempted to start the car this morning and nothing no click just dead. Charged the battery and walla car started up the dash lights, gauges and everything working. YAAAA then about 8 minutes later no gauges working, and 30 seconds later the z just stops moving. Obviously the alternator is not charging the battery, right?
