1972 240Z Rear Brake Squeal
You could try taking them off and sanding, filing or someway removing the burnt layer of the shoes. You most likely have overheated the rears by pulling the E-brake up and locking in all that heat after a spirited drive. Unless you are on a hill I suggest not using the E-brake.

I'm sorry, your right. Tom Monroe's book that I've used more than once says 61 ft. Lbs.

Random Misfire while cruising
Damn! That looks great. Maybe crimp your wires tighter on both ends, plugs and dizzy cap. Use dielectric grease too on all connections.

I don't. No need in my opinion. Once you get that 80lbs they stretch, the gasket is set too. Don't mess with that I say.

DCOE 40 "burn your eyes rich"
Here's the one I remember, it's a long thread but full of information.

Emergency Brake Light Turns on While Brakes Fully Depressed
It seems like my 280 did that when the booster went bad. Do your RPMs fluctuate any when fully depressed? If they go up your booster may have a vacuum leak.

You have the earlier Truckster. Here's the later one. Notice that covered taller piece of luggage up top? That's Aunt Edna. And just for giggles here another later one...

Optional? They should all be shared. I'm not liking BAT so much now. Hiding the truth, comments from people that know. The price hasn't risen from what I can tell since the knowledgeable folks started picking this car apart. Has anybody linked this thread in BATs comments? How long would that stay up? Not too long.

C’mon! Own up ...
My Mom had a Pontiac Catalina when I first had memory. And my memory was :this is a huge car". We called it the "kitty cat". She always threatened to put me in the trunk when I wouldn't shut up with my questions. But why? Why? Why? Why? That makes no sense, WHY!!! Then "do as I say, not as I do". I love my dog.

E12-80, very odd no spark
Read over this. It's got some great info as well as pictures! Love pictures. I followed his instructions and have a '79 ZX dizzy in my 280. Works great with a little more advance. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html Here's the whole electrical section. https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electrical.htm

What's this say? I've never seen a rubber stamp that cancels a title but hey, it's me. Is it "surrender to Nevada"?

I had to google it. The early 90's are a blur in my life. I was in my early 20's and too cool for school if you know what I mean. Hell all the 90's now that I think about it.

Intake water bypass question
It's hot air off the exhaust, not water in the EGR. If you followed that down you'd see where it connects to the exhaust. My orange line here...

Intake water bypass question
Your's is a lot different than my '72. Here's what I see that I would plug. Blue circle. There should be one on the front intake as well closer to the radiator. This is the Y pipe I believe for your car. It should connect to that hard line you circled behind the head above. Then the thermostat housing. I can't find a picture of mine right off but I did find this.

Intake water bypass question
You lost me there Boss. I don't see the same thing you see. Wooo, that's kinda scary right? I don't think a 280 has that Y pipe. They don't have the coolant line behind the head, mine doesn't I know.
