    That's a compression gauge isn't it? You can get an 1/8 npt at Lowe's in the swimming pool section. My local store has one up to 60 psi but that's high enough. The oe dash cluster gauge only goes to 90. With a high volume turbo pump on my pretty fresh 2.4 it pegs the high side while driving. Idles at half gauge. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Aqua-EZ-Pressure-Gauge/3151541
  3. After reading more it sounds like you're onto something electrical related? I was just thinking of some easy things to check first. Here's the AAR plug-in and one of the best helps I've gotten for my '77 280. Good reading with lots of photos. Hope you get it figured out soon. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/aar/index.html http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/EFI&fuel.htm http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/
  4. Your cold start valve vould be flooding it with fuel after it warms up. You can unplug it to see. You can also unplug the auxiliary air regulator. Another cold start device. Easy things to check off your list of possible problems.

    Suddenly my nose itches???
  6. @jalexquijano there's information in here that may help your 240's vapor lock problem you've struggled with. The added length of hose is a fantastic idea I think. Whether it works is your's. Do not assume it's a fix for YOUR car. Just a hopeful solution or at least helpful to your car. You're reading the same thing we all are so what to do with the information is totally on YOU. Edit. I know you have round tops and a 72 year model so please save your time telling that. Read between the lines and hopefully you'll find something useful.
  7. Could you soak the harness? mineral spirits maybe? It'll soften up rubber.
  8. You did this to be around such a collection I'm guessing? Maybe one day you might purchase one?
  9. Reference I guess. I do not have one on my 240 but the 280 does. It was cheapest at Jegs when I bought that one, free shipping also if I remember correctly. I like the one I have. It had flex and made noise at high speed but I figured out how to reinforce the backside with the OE lip and it worked out great. 280 now, no history with a 240 air dam.
  10. is this the same? I bought one for my 280 from Jegs. It is made by Xenon. https://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/XEN3124.htm
  11. The two most judged guys I know (in a good way). @Zup @jfa.series1

    Could be @Mark Maras too! He's had a digit malfunction.
  13. How's those Datsuns running? Mine are nice and tight like they all are so I'm here for the commaradier of those Zs owners.
  14. I thought Jeff Beck but I was wrong. Cool song anyhow.
  15. I live in the Northern Alabama area, at the beginning or end of the Appalachian Mountains. Luckily the worst weather always happens farther down where there's no mountains. They get hit pretty bad by tornadoes as you've seen on the news. Bad rain and some wind was all that happened around here. Thanks for reaching out and sorry I haven't replied sooner.
  16. Now Jeff Beck is gone. One of my favorite songs.
  17. Got the ultra hd box from xfinity today, wired up and WOW! Been looking at a 42" since 2009 with the lower hd settings, this blows it away. I think I can smell Lume girls funky body smells. Probably just need to clean house or wash the dog?
  18. Barely! I saw some interior pics somehow, maybe bevhills website? It's got a T bone shift handle and a down periscope rusted hole on the passenger's side floorboard. Pretty rough but mid teens money ain't bad I don't think?
  19. That Lume deodorant commercial is my favorite for the last little while.
  20. I get Hagerty's buy/sale magazine and Beverly Hills auto has ruined it just like craigslist. I know Hagerty's needs the ad $$ () but damn! All the cool cars, 240Zs & Porsche's are Beverly Hills ads.
  21. DIY home OCD test. Buy a house payments worth of of Ultra HD television. Count the times you get up to clean the screen after set up, fingerprints on the screen. The freaks come out at night...
  22. Last I heard he was now into vintage guitars. He's going full blast on whatever he does. He brought me closer to the s30 than anyone or anything else, mostly. Can't say enough good things about him. He was so kind to my country bumpkin personality unlike the other dicks on zcar and told me about classiczcars.com. God bless him.

    Is this Diseazed guy? maybe... What a neat story.
  24. I've read time and time again on here about matching proper components with each other. My best example is the hottest motor with old ignition system. I bought a really nice television and after all the hassle of getting it home and hooked through all my stuff was very disappointed with the outcome. I was frustrated and about to box it back up and get a cheaper no frills tv, much cheaper. Then the light bulb flickered in my noggin. I need the newest version cable box from xfinity. It'll be here in a few days so until then I'm watching stuff through the internet source and it's amazing. My eyebrows melted. 20230108_144344.mp4
