Got it home last night! Too tired to do much else but take some pictures.

Ah ha ha, I just had woke up and wasn't thinking. But you're important to.

Here's a 280 with 240 bumpers, it's a many grand $$ vision.

Hey Captain, obviously the most important man in the world! The '72 has white interior that's beautiful to look at but like white shoes it's not very practical to actually use.

You've gotta be kidding! I thought for sure you'd called him when he said that, anyway I'll always think you saved me some money, a LOT of money, less than half of what the ad said. I bought that red one thinking the white interior would grow on me but it never has. It'll be for sale pretty soon, I have a 3 car garage and 4 cars that need to be kept inside. I'll park my DD Camry outside, it's not too hot yet.

Well now I have 3 Zs! Got a good deal on an original car. Very little rust. The guy I got it from works on Mustangs and somehow got it for doing some work on something, I don't know the details yet. A doctor in Decatur bought it in 02/'72 for $4,810, or that's what the window sticker was. Has all kinds of receipts and was in a car show in '06. Then it got parked in a storage building with dirt floors, dry but dusty. When I get it home I can't wait to show you all how good of shape it's in for a 42 year old car. 918 orange with black interior and a black rocker panel stripe. Here's some pictures I took with my phone so they're not worth a crap. I asked had he had many calls and he said "some guy named Jeff from Michigan called" I started laughing and said I know that guy! You were right about the price Jeff in the above post but it's a different car, as you know. Thank you again, I think whatever you said helped me get a good price. I owe you one. Oh and all those wires are supposedly they're attempt at wiring up an electric fuel pump because it wouldn't run, carbs are full of trash I'm hoping. Some are coming from the A/C too, I think, I was excited! Also has a rear deck spoiler and the emblems they removed to install it were in the glove box.

I'd think if Courtesy can get one your local dealership could to. I've always had good luck at mine with the right part numbers.

Hey everybody I may get it.

Your oil pump would be in line with that splatter, make sure it's snugged up, 4 bolts on the bottom.

That's hilarious! It's like a Z camper or something.

That's kinda strange, my 09/'76 is #355834.

Maybe the guys at Gas Monkey Garage will buy them, they'd like the patina on the 240.

Mine is a 9/'76 build date but titled as a 1977. When I buy things they call it an "Early '77" with the sloped rear deck. Is yours sloped up at the rear, by the hatch or flat? Do you have a factory 5 speed? When I went to download the '77 FSM from Xenon it was a "coruppted file" according to my computer and wouldn't let me download it so I got the '78 manual.

Put it in water and see if it dissolves, you may have some old Quaaludes. Don't kill the cat.

You've got that great trait, do it right the 1st time! I see you have a HUGE garage to keep the Z out of the weather but here's something to look at Grannyknot did and hopefully I'll get it done before paint. Post #12, http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/body-paint-s30/48317-what-do.html

I've never done this but some people use an unlit propane torch to find intake manifold leaks. The RPMs will raise when it sucks in the propane at the leak. Or maybe a can of ether would work? google.com it. Good luck.

Like all things Rednecked, it works purty phuckin good.

Doesn't the '71 have 2 choke levers? Are they both pushing and pulling the cables completely? Here's how I learned to do the valve adjusting, PictureTrail: Online Photo Sharing, Social Network, Image Hosting, Online Photo Albums. Doing them cold will get you close enough for your 1st time. But you gotta go back and do the "fits, or doesn't fit" when the motors hot some day. That Haynes manual will make a good beer coaster while you're reading this forum.

Wow! how'd I miss that. That's a great car you have there.

That's #6, the one closet to the radiator is #1. I don't think that's lean, it looks really rich like it's not firing. Hook it in the plug wire and put it close to something metal and have someone crank the car over to se if a spark jumps. Could be a loose wire. Or a bad plug? Or a bad wire, swap one over if it doesn't spark.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-2222?seid=srese1&gclid=COGdjrL3lr4CFU4R7AodJSAAAw, I think that's what is on the car in the picture. Or this Bosch,http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bch-0280160001/overview/ I had a lot of sleepless nights thinking about this, not really, boost vs. vacuum and how it would work on my car. Never could find a good enough explanation so I went with the single "IN" FPR for the '78s. Zip tyed to the firewall wasn't my end goal but as you can see from my pictures, looking past Billie Jean Dance, once I got it running right with the coolant sensor tweak I haven't even cleaned the engine bay up. Just driving it and enjoying the rides with my dog, it's funny as hell watching her try to anticipate the shifts. When my hand goes to the shifter she leans forward, then I pin her to the seat until 6,000. If I leave the door open just for a second she's in there, and loves it my PETA friends. After some coffee and my meds kicking in I think it's the Bosch in the picture. It has to be the Bosch, I don't see any vacuum source.

The oil changes were a little less frequent, 13 qts. of Kendall GT gets exspensive, but if you can afford a Porsche...

She's the bait!
