Markings on the spring perches too.

Okay. Big cars are called Land Yachts here. I guess my Zs are Dinghies then?

Is that a thing up there, Zees vs Zeds?

I think he's wanting to see the writing under the cam sprocket to determine what cam he has. Good to know if you can find it. Aftermarket ones have different valve specs. If I was you I would read up on sprocket holes 1,2 and 3. They can be swapped to make up a tighter chain after wearing. They stretch somehow. Blues, er Japanese Racing White's, Tech Tips has a write up on it. Google "Blues Tech Tips". I'll give the scan a try tomorrow after work. Today is for running my mouth and beers, or vice versa.

Hard to tell isn't it!

Oh, I'm talking about the tool you'll have to have to push in the tensioner. ?

There it is! If you're not careful that timing chain tensioner will ruin your day/week. The cheap plastic ones are very scary to use trust me. If you have some hardwood scraps you can make your own. I will trace around mine and fax it to you then you can make your own. If you get that far let me know. Yep, still have a fax machine. If YOU don't I will scan and email it to you.

Those 3 screws have the dizzy vacuum hose connection on the front one. Closer to the valve cover, pointing more towards the radiator. I can't find a image, sorry.

I'm thinking with jonbill on this. Sounds exactly what my 240 did when first bought. The tank was full of crud. After it all settled back down it ran great for about 15 minutes. Buy a fram g2 for a couple of dollars and next time it happens put it on and see if it runs better.

If that's in 4th gear I'd leave it be. Pretty good numbers imo. But you could set it at tdc and remove the distributor and see where the spindle is. Should look like this... My distributor is maxed out too. I'm at 17 btdc and 34 full advance at 3,000 or 3,500? can't remember but at the higher rpm my timing mark is at 0. At idle its 17. I'm no ignition guy but could you plugs wires be off on the cap?

Older Efi cars use milder cams from what I've read. Go to motorsportsauto.com or MSA and read their cam recommendations for fuel injection. They sale Schneider cams. You might save yourself some trouble just assuming your cam came from them? A shot in the dark...

Yes, like legalization would bankrupt Alabama. Law Enforcement waiting tables, attorneys mowing grass.

Here's a Schneider I have. The front is scribed with the info. Go to Schneider's website and find the info. Mine is a 280F You'll have remove the cam sprocket though I beleive. Whole nother can of worms!

That's about as nice a portable pit as I've see! We have two of these running around the clock. Oyler's by J&R Manufacturing, Mesquite Texas.

Oh the Big Hair bands. Those were the days.

View from the rear on this one. Smoke off his boots!

Underground but that would cut cost to us, can't have that.

We got lucky, he only circled the south eastern corner.

I deleted that email without ever looking. I know ME.

I rembered some honey cone comb looking filters from a few days ago. They looked really good! Finally found them under my nose.

I looked through Facebook's marketplace earlier. Lots of datsuns on there. 240s were $4k to $25k. Give it a look if you haven't.

Yeah there's some type of berry they like that gets them high.

That's an odd looking building. Did a double take 3 times.

You have to take a bolt out at the rack connection where the bottom splines are of the rod. Remembering more now. The tie rods have flats on them. Put a Crescent wrench on there and another on the nut. It'll be laying on the ground so use your feet to break them loose. Rember, driver's side is left handed threads. Passenger's is normal lefty loosey.

That column goes up and with 4 bolts through a "puck" shaped bushing connects to the steering wheel arm that comes through the firewall. Remove those. I remember having to loosen up the rack itself and rotate it forward to get the column either off or back on? it's a real snug fit. Replacing that puck looking bushing is pretty cheap and easy. Makes a huge difference for a steady steering wheel while driving. Zcardepot probably has one? Or Napa maybe, they have weird odds and ends for our cars. Heck Nissan may have them?
