280 has a solid plug, plastic. I tried to remove it but after reading I decided to leave it and grease the rack's "teeth" by hand. Here's a few threads to read. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-americamovil-us-revc&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=K5u5Xr-qHuOm_QbikbT4BQ&q=steering+rack+plastic+plug+classiczcars.com+&oq=steering+rack+plastic+plug+classiczcars.com+&gs_lcp=ChFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocBAMMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQqwI6CAgpEBYQHRAeOgQIKRAKOgIIKToGCCkQFhAeOgUIKRCRAjoFCAAQgwE6AggAOgIILjoFCC4QgwE6CAguEIMBEJMCOgYIABAWEB46BwghEAoQoAE6CAghEBYQHRAeUIQlWLS3AWDfygFoAHAAeACAAesBiAHuIJIBBjQuMjcuMZgBAKABAbABDw&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp

I used those rubber caps and oven cleaning foam, hot water pressure wash to clean mine. Then carried it to a friend who has a transmission shop. He opened it up replaced the seals and said it looked fine. I put it in then filled with Redline MT90. Works great for my jaunts around here.

Well you gotta get that crap out somehow, right?

Blue, 240260280, Hoover whichinever found that one. He's good at that type goofing off type work. Edit: when he has goof off time! Damn snow and a job! Urgh...

Here's the best ever!

I could tell you the way I've done 2 so far with Red-kote. Cost $50 a few years ago. Muratic acid, redkote, baking soda, 5 gallons buckets and about a month to completely cure. That could be cut down to a week if you keep it in sunlight. Read over these instructions and see if you may want to try it. I can find my post from back then and let decide. It's easy but time sensutive and yoy have to get your "ducks" in a row. $$$ was my decider.

The brackets changed to a higher speed "bump" upgrade. There totally different from what I've seen but it can be done.

Not knowing much other than what the pros have stated I would put the bpes5 in cylinder #4 and run it, check the color. All other plugs look really good to me.

I think you did good there, get away from that "Far" something or another race cam the Datsun Whisperer rebuilt it with. Here's what got past me but not these other guys about two #10s. Silly mistake but when do you know if it's a reoccurring thing. Secretary building motors?

Found a good thread on this.

I wrapped electrical tape around my E dipstick for my 240 until I found a better one. There's definitely a difference in a 280 vs 240. I was overfilling the 2.4 when I had a 2.8 stick in the block.

I do it all the time!

No chance of contact with a piston? Just trying to beat @jalexquijano's questions. Thank you Mark.

You got me Captain, I thought you were kidding. It is Saturday night so...

Learned something new. Thanks Mark! Is it the porcelain tip part or the overall length of the plug? Gap stays the same?

I used a .22 caliber wire barrel brush from my gun cleaning kit. 5/16" on my 280. Worked good for me but was nerve wracking the way I tied it with picture hanging twisted wire. Maybe I wouldn't do it again on second thought.

Yes sir! Thanks to @240260280 Read down to the middle for orientation pictures. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/suspension/comprod/index.html

From experience, buy new lock nuts for the TC rods, strut rods, whatever. They are one use originally and I reused mine not knowing any better. Thankfully I heard one scraping the concrete after backing out of my garage. Found the cupped washer and the front bushing in the driveway. Lucky me.

Bingo!

I'd get the OE hood. My '72 has absolutely know hot/heat running issues and it's hot down South.

*just a guess* The speedometer cable from the transmission to the engine bay?????

Thanks for the idea Mark. I'm having trouble sleeping these past few weeks so I decided to mix up a warm nightcap of Pine sol topped off with some whipped oven cleaner. Having a hard time finishing this post, getting very slee

You are right. They are SM needles. I looked at the receipt from ztherapy. Sorry about that. ?
