You guessed the right inspiration for that.

Z Cars On TV And In Movies
Ferg I had to ask the community about that one, I wasn't positive it was a Z. Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling seeing your car on a money management commercial, makes me think I finally made a good decision.

Need a plug bolt
My Dad told me when he was younger somehow or another they put plugs in the exhaust and made fireballs come out the pipes. My Dad bullshits me a lot though. Pretty funny now that he's 80 and nuttier than a squirrel's turd.

Z Cars On TV And In Movies
Prolly been mentioned before but I watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High this weekend. Damone is selling tickets in the parking lot, '76 I think, 280 parked while Forest Witaker pulls up in his Camaro Z28.

76 280Z 2+2 Sale
I remember your car. If it runs good put up some pictures and you'll get so many opinions you could figure out a happy medium. Seems like it was a respray red with automatic transmission?

1976 280z engine runs rough then dies, will not idle.
Squeeze the fuel lines in the engine bay to see if they're hard. With a good fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump they should be pretty hard to pinch or squeeze while running. There's been many gremlins fixed by wrapping the ECU a few times, not too hard though.

Sandblasting
I only have one supplier local to me with anything, Tractor Supply. I've tried the black stuff, too rough. Glass beads work the best in my opinion just ease into the surface getting closer as you need to. I have a moisture separator out of the compressor and a smaller one before the tool. My 60 gallon runs constantly while "sand blasting". Lots of moisture created all along. Good luck.

S30 vs Z32 for first project car?
I agree with two things above 100%. S30 is easier to work on but you'll need more than half of a garage. Best of luck whichever you choose.

How to tell which head I have?
Pretty sure the year went forward in September so your build date would be a 1970. I have a 9/76 that's a 1977 280Z.
