L28+(maxima)47 build
Looks good! About as deep as my E31, eeks from me too until I opened up the chambers for the valves. These worked good for me,

Is This An Original Distributor Cap 22162-E3001?
I've got a greenish grey one too but it just has "YEC" stamped in it, aluminium contacts. Your's could be original.

Better Than New 240Z Taillight Trim
Flat push on retainers for connecting it to the lense. Like these. EDIT: You can see the white plastic on the middle post in that picture. 2nd EDIT: Don't forget to paint the inside with white spray paint. Thanks Dr 240Z.

Better Than New 240Z Taillight Trim
That's what mine looked like after I twisted it loose. I think it's the same plastic just missing the chrome coating.

Wheels/Rims for 1977 280Z?
I've bought two sets from Direct Tire. Look for sales around holidays, Fathers Day possibly. You can get the same lug nuts off e-bay for $15 instead of paying them $45. EDIT: They fit my '77 280 also

Better Than New 240Z Taillight Trim
I used these after grinding down the sides so they would fit. Bought them at a chain hardware store. I didn't buy new trim, just polished up a set but ran into that same problem after I separated the lense from the body. Just an FYI.

Piston Opinion Needed
I'd pay $100 for that. I've spent $100 on some things I don't even remember the next day. LMFAO!

L28+(maxima)47 build
Are you going to use the E88 header or get a new one? Ive read square covers round ports but not vice versa and was wondering for future head swaps.

Piston Opinion Needed
Your second picture looks like one of the pistons out of a boat motor I locked up. Pieces of the rings gouged holes like that.

Occassional Stuttering Engine - '77 280Z
Here's a good read with plenty of great pictures on our fuel tanks. It got me to drop my tank and seal it with Red-Kote tank liner. I was seeing small rust particles in my clear filter too. I started worrying they could clog up the injectors, probably for no reason but it took that part out of the equation. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/gastank/index.htm

Occassional Stuttering Engine - '77 280Z
Does your fuel pressure regulator have a good vacuum hose attached? You could get a loaner vacuum gauge from an auto parts store and see how strong your vacuum is too.

Occassional Stuttering Engine - '77 280Z
I'd put a fuel gauge on a length of hose and zip-tie it to the driver's side windshield wiper blade so you can watch it while you're driving, sounds like fuel problems to me.

Fuel problem
I paid $250 for the Bosch replacement, wasted money because the that was on it was good. That was before I found this forum. Fastwoman & Z Train got me fixed up.

Shaking, back and forth motion at 1st and 2nd gear
I too think it's possibly in your drivetrain, FWIW. Maybe take it to a transmission shop and have someone drive it?

Fuel problem
I haven't taken one apart but Blue has. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuelpump/index.html

78 air intake probs
here's some pictures to look at so maybe you'll find the wires. Scroll down about mid-page. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html

Fuel problem
I thought for sure the paper in the fuel filter had folded in, sorry. I'm not 100 percent on this but it seems like one of the four fuse able link wires powers the pump. I'm with Fastwoman, straight wire to the post on the pump from the battery. I use speaker wire with alligator clips. Where is Enterprise? Seems like ive been through there going to the beach? Ive got a spare Bosch pump is why I ask. You could go to ZCON in Memphis this July and put that deevorce in the rearview mirror.

Unexpected Surprise
I had my speakers muted yesterday, that laugh makes it even funnier today. Thanks for sharing that.

Anyone have experience with hy-per lube ZINC REPLACEMENT ADDITIVE?
Maybe Jalex from Panama has too much zinc in his engine causing the "shaking, back and forth"? It has the Zinc Shakes.

Unexpected Surprise
That reminds me of the "how to modify" book's little snippet on Turbo Tom Wyatt's 510 being 9 seconds faster than a turbo 930 and 3 seconds ahead of a 427 Cobra at Road Atlanta with an L20 4 cylinder.

Lifting engine & tranny from the side?
That's what I'll do Mr Warner, push it half way outside and come in from the front. If you had to remove tires anyway it'll be the same as what i ran into when I pulled it. That's a very good list you've posted (it's exactly what I did except the hood is in my spare bedroom ) for anyone else that will be removing their motor. I've got a low ceiling down there so my winch idea didn't work, even with a steel bar through 3 floor joist. Thank you though Zed Head. After seeing that Jarvo used the 1 ton from Harbor Fright that's what I'm buying. Thanks again for all the help, y'all are the best!

visors signed by mr k and matsuo
Did the vanity mirror have a cover, originally? Seems like one of my first ones did, waaay back then.
