Good 'ole Al.

Looks like he wound up in a field of dreams, pot field of dreams. Be glad you weren't on your motorbike.

Here's something to read when you have a minute. It's our worst "dream" car.

Try "searchtempest" for craigslist cars all around you. $10K should get you something decent but since the prices have rocketed this past year or so you may consider an efi car, '75 and up, change over to carbs for fairly cheap compared to rebuilding the old fuel injection. You'd get a little bigger motor, 2.8 instead of 2.4, for less dough ray me. Find some and post them up here. We'll gladly tell you what to do!

You want one with the least rust. Are you going to work on it yourself, ready to drive, carburetor or EFI? Some good info here... https://www.google.com/search?q=buying+my+first+Z+classiczcars.com&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=buying+my+first+Z+classiczcars.com&aqs=chrome..69i57.13549j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Buyer beware! Some very unsatisfied buyers. One star reviews from real people, 5 stars from one person; fake I'm sure. https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/glendale/profile/auto-brokers/vintage-car-collector-1216-762227/customer-reviews Take your time, the right one will find you. Kind of weird how that works but it does.

My similar fuel rail has a T out the back. One side to the cold start, the other to an original equipment fuel pressure regulator from a '78. Worked out good for me. I can post up some pictures tomorrow if you want. Cliff

Japanese Racing White's Tech Tips. Woof, that's a mouthful of change. Will you do two blue stripes? I like stripes.

I say #2.

My 69,??? vin 1972 did not have one. My '77 has one. I want one for my 240 though as they seal up a little better the engine bay, pulling most of the air through the radiator. I think it would run cooler with one. My opinion only...

I have your setup, ceramic headers and heat shield but I set my idle at 800rpm. I removed my heat riser so mine gets plenty of cool air using a Nissan air filter. No stumbles, sorry. Remove the filter and see if it smoothes out. Also I think adjusting the valves would be a good idea too. Make sure your nozzles are full up off choke. The choke wires slip sometimes and won't let them pull the nozzles all the way up.

It gets about as humid here as anywhere and I haven't experienced any idle issues on my '72. I've drive it early in the mornings too when the humidity is at the highest. I have the water heat up tube deleted but your 4 screws won't have that. But my snorkel has the WINTER/SUMMER flap so Nissan thought enough about temperature to add that.

We have bombarder this fellow. I apologize for the group. It's a game we play, who's first with the answer. My smartphone is like the Coleco football game I played when I was a kid.

Maybe $9,876 I hate that $1,234

Edited out.

There's some kind of rubber disc inside that can fall loose. Never dealt with that but read plenty. Hopefully the others will fill in the blanks.

Did we ever ask how the car runs now? I don't think so... What the heck is a injector test kit? New one to me but best of luck with the results.

I'm 50 and make bad decisions. It never stops.

Brake booster.

Yes, you should have a puddle of fluid somewhere. Find that. Look around the inside of the tires/wheels too. When my rear wheel cylinder went out there was fluid all over the backside of that tire.

Check local car dealerships. They have wheel straighters and dent doctors that come by at least monthly, in my small town anyway.

My favorite months are about to be here, finally get to drive the Zs! Enjoy the leaves twirling behind my car. Maybe I'll finally buy a Go=Pro camera for video? EDIT: ...swirling behind my car. Leaves with a baton?

Zed Head. My 9/76 had a non webbed n47 intake like this guys.

Lets see the spark plugs. Are they black and sooty? Whats the air filter look like? Cold air cone or stock? I bet cold air k&n.
