    I'm happy with my SMs too. Floats should be .55" from the lids. Stock L24 with small valve E88.
  2. Learned something new today. Never seen one of those.
  3. So anything can be done to an '85 or older car as long as you pay the $200? That's very similar to why I vote, it negates at least one bad choice. A Prius pulls up beside a Ricer and tears come into his eyes, from the fumes. ::
  4. 85 and below pay $200 for their toys to pass? Cha ching!
  5. That's amazing. I'm mad to have to top off the freon around here, house's and cars. 80 degrees Saturday.
  6. Yeah they get crusty. Cover the threads with permatex anti seize. I should use that stuff on girls.
  7. I bought all fuel hose rated diameters at O'Reillys. Quarter inch to five eights. Cost $68 including the clamps.

    Looks to me like the rocker arm is deteriorating.

    When I went through that smoke show, trying to choose the perfect injectors, I'd decided I was chasing my tail. I bought the least expensive new ones I could, I'm leery of e-bay sales. Fastwoman bought some FJ3s that look alot like your picture, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42603-fuel-injectors-fj3-or-fj707t/. I liked the open pintle design of the 707Ts. All the others would end up cracked like the OE ones I was replacing. Anyway, I got interested in the 240Z and their simplicity, fuel-fire-air. I don't have the patience to test the EFI components like y'all do. I take the 280 out every now and then just to hear it howl, it's LOUD and keeps the neighbors mad and away from me.

    My 707Ts have an open style pintle where the ones in your picture look to have the small hole. Do a google image search and you'll see the difference. I think the Ts are just economy versions. I've been happy with mine. cliff

    Was it that Obvious, Captain?

    I owe you a Labatt, Blue.
  13. 2.5 turns, like the DVD shows. Turn them towards the passenger's side, all the way up, then turn them out towards the drivers side 2.5 turns. I live near the Gulf of Mexico and have mine at 2 turns out. I've never been to Panama but it seems like I've read that's a tropical climate and choke isn't needed. My car stays in 60 degree garage and my chokes are only pulled for 1 minute at the most. Sounds to me like you are using the choke as an idle adjusting mechanism. Are you using an air synchrometer to balance them individually with the screws by the dome tops? That's the way to set the idle. Your rear carb is out of adjustment or the float level is too high which could occur during shipping, it's covered in the DVD. Maybe watch the DVD again, it's extremely helpful.
  14. I bought these JDM spec, whatever that means?, before Christmas this past year. When I went to put the bulbs in I noticed the sockets only had one contact point for the amber lenses. I thought I'd be returning them but NO. Put the dual filament 1157s in and everything worked fine. They just light up with the turn signal.

    I'm sorry guys, couldn't help myself after reading Blue's Phoenix craigslist.com ad with the early 240. "8 cylinders, FWD"
  16. http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/31474-ngk-spark-plug-number/ Read post #3

    Well my machinist called and said the pit in bore #4 isn't repairable. Talked me into putting in a small block Chevy V8 he has.

    The lap belt does have a retractor. The shoulder belt just hangs on a clip attached below the rear windows. Once I'm buckled up and snug, I can't even reach the radio. Maybe someday I'll get one of these, http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic08f09/40-7490

    Sunroof(s) and white interior with pinstriping or an early 240, uhm. Two forty, hands down, it'll double in price.

    My 02/'72 didn't have shoulder belts. I think the previous owner removed them, they are a PITA, so I robbed the ones of my other car. The police look for that black stripe across your chest around here. I don't have those covers, just bolts showing.
  21. Tony D's response would be funny for one time.
  22. siteunseen posted a post in a topic in Internet Finds
    Okay, at the front of the passenger's seat. (better idea, thanks)
  23. You weren't sent here to save all humanity?
  24. I've had the bracket for almost a year, finally got tired of pulling the ashtray out to hold the choke lever assembly. So I decided to put it on yesterday and it works great. I'm about to order another one. 2 things, read the instructions then throw them away and get online to look at better pictures. Use self-tapping sheet metal screws.
