Will Igor be there?

Yes, great looking family heirloom. It has flat topped carburetors from '73 like Leon says above but the ID plate on the driver's door jamb will say for sure. Unscrew the black knobs on top and make sure they have oil in there. I just bought some at Lowes, 3-in-one 20 wt. in a blue and white bottle for $2.99.

3-in-one in the blue and white bottle is what I just used, after searching the archives. The outside temperature matters, from all that I read.

I thought his avatar was that guy on the Dos Equis commercials. I need to watch more TV. :stupid:

We could Skype with each other or do what I'm doing, throwing rocks at all the communications towers I see, in hopes that St. Blue soon would be here.

Here's something Blue ran into with his aftermarket mirrors, not sure of the make. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/exterior/mirrors/index.html. Here's his car, http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/members/philippilgrim/index.html. Hope that helps.

One duh question. On every cylinder the piston needs to be at the very top before stuffing the rope in?

I'm glad to hear that it's an easy job, I'm about to try it. Hopefully I can find a spring tool to rent.

Good day, I got it started and drove around the block! If I hadn't taken the seats out I'd still be driving it. Some carb gaskets were leaking, the firing order was 180 backwards and the valves were all too tight especially the intake valves. 1st I used a gas can as Jeff said then I put filters everywhere and put 5 gallons in the tank. Has a cool sound, the 2 pipes coming off the exhaust manifold go into a straight shot 2.5" exhaust. It has an "A" stamped cam that looks good, the spray bar works really good too. Oh and the York A/C works! Z karma at it's best!

It gets pretty good reviews, Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: CRC 05063 Guaranteed To Pass Emissions Test Formula - 12 Fl Oz.

Very nice and priced accordingly.

I'd clean the AAR. Maybe get a new PCV valve? Sounds like it needs more air, maybe a varmint got in the air box?

Seems to have been taken care of.

It looks OK to me under there but I'll find something that's unsettling once I get it up on a lift, I'm sure.

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.
