Which FPR are you using? I just told a guy there weren't any good ones less than $250. How bad did I do?

fuel rail and pressure regulator suggestions-78 280Z
The '78's a lot easier to replace than the previous years. It only has one inlet and then the return to the fuel tank line. I bought from rockauto for about $70 IIRC? I made myself an aluminum rail and it really helped displace the heat. The critical measurements are in post #21 from our good friend @Willoughby Z And Zeds dead on about those adjustable FPRs. The only one I've ever read that held pressure was an Airtech I believe, $250. You can make your own gauge for $20 and put it after the fuel filter similar to @EuroDat's.

Anybody need some misc parts?
Do you have the elastic cord and hook that holds the rear deck while messing with the spare? Those are mostly broken.

Anybody need some misc parts?
I recently received a fusible link upgrade from a Cadillac car from @wal280z I'm not doing the swap until it cools off here, October maybe? If I end up not using those you're welcome to them. I haven't spent time reading the directions yet so I'm not positive it's still used?

Same here. I haven't been out in 3 days. Going a little stir crazy, alcohol helps.

If it has the oe radio still, doubtful, 240260280 needs the knobs. The steering wheel is easy to get. And drum role here.......the carbs. I know they're gone but wishful thinking.

Thats what I did on my hood emblem when I removed it for cut and buff of the old paint when I first bought the car. They made a click noise when they were seated. I did not push them up onto the plastic post. Barely on then pushed the emblem down, click click.- Fender Emblem Installation

Does it run better above 2,500rpm? That's where mine cleared up and in the end I had to do the coolant temp sensor tweak to the ECU. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html- 75 280Z won't run.
Are the first 2 cam lobes pointed up? http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/timing/mechtime.html If it's at TDC the pulley should only be able to go on with the slot for the square key pointing straight up.

Ha! I'm with you on that, it's too hot for much of anything to get done around here. To be honest I'm not 100% my gauge lights even work. I never drive them at night. I did find some of the cool lighting Captain Obvious did but his photos won't show up in the treads.
