Walk from a plane to a taxi.

I waited 2 minutes for the POP. Here's how the Memphis Mafia would have done it, Repairing a wheel using gas and a lighter - YouTube

You may have already seen this but here's something to read over, Z Car Tech Tips Fram G3 Filter Installation. The hoses are a little big but they do tighten up as cesar said. They also have a G2 filter that's smaller and works better on a 240Z but the G3 for my 280. Get some needle nosed vise grips and put small section of hoses over the "teeth" of the pliers so you won't damage the hose coming out of the tank, that'll hold the fuel back while you install it. Get both the filters at Walmart and use the one you like, they're only $3 or $4 each. And like Eurodat says the dampener keeps the fuel pressure steady, no pulses. Walmart also has the can looking fuel filter in the engine bay for $10. That fuel injection cleaner probably loosened up some varnish type sludge in the tank, I would run the pump after putting in the G3 to clear anything out by attaching a 4 foot piece of hose from outbound on the pump to a gas can or something. Then blow the fuel line from the pump up to the metal fuel filter with compressed air, put a towel over the end in the engine bay to catch the gas and stuff. Oh yeah, there's a small cone shaped filter inside the inlet port of your original fuel pump. Where the hose from the tank goes on the pump. Take that loose and get some tweezers and pull it out, clean with whatever but be damn careful because they're fragile little things. You'll get it figured out.

Our Government should use Discount Tire as a role model, top notch company with a great online process. I couldn't get a salesperson to match the online rebates so I'll cross my fingers GE Capital has made changes now that the economy is so slow.

Here's some good pictures, post #9. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/engine-drivetrain-s30/46186-installing-timing-chain-when-rebuilding-motor-stand.html

I used a 12" pipe wrench and a steel wood chisel for the big screwdriver but mine was on a work bench with a vise. And I do remember the old grease was dried out inside that housing, I dug it out the best I could. Zed Head has a good idea with the mirror.

He may not be French Canadian anyway, aye? He's quick too!

That's what I did on my '77, no grease fittings either. I used a wooden paint stirrer to pack it down in the "teeth" and turned back and fourth. I thought I had found a hole for a zerk fitting but it was a plastic plug thing I never figured out.

Mine looks like above post with a chain attached.

I was hoping for a "touche" from my Canadian friend.

Try running the pump into a gas can, you could have debris all the way up to the fuel filter. If you do end up replacing it then yes you should run it through the fuel dampener.

Thank you all for your replies. With the credit rebates and the $50 online rebate I can get a set of 16x7 with 205/55s for $629, lug nut kit off ebay for Panasports and Konigs $27. I'll call and see if I can Huckleberry a deal with sales and pay with Visa, I DESPISE GE CAPITAL, they're evil people.

I can get a good deal on wheels and tires if I use their credit program. Has anybody done this? is there any hidden fees? I can pay it off within the 6 months allowed. Thanks for any replies.

I found the answer from MSA, thanks anyway. Description: These popular 16x7 Konig Rewind wheel kits look awesome in Graphite with a polished lip. The kit includes four wheels, chrome lug nuts, valve stems, and center caps. They will fit 70-85 4 Lug Z & ZX. For most Z's, the maximum tire size for these wheels is 205/55/16.

What size wheel and tire did you go with? I got approved for their 6 months same as cash and the $50 rebate ends this month so I'm about to get a set. I think Mr. Arnett has a 16x7 with 205/55s without any rubbing and was curious if that might be what you had? They look really good. Thanks

I replaced mine with Hyper Flex polyurethane. It wasn't too bad with this Tech Tip for reference, thanks Blue. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/moustache/index.html

Sorry, I couldn't help it but you hit the nail square on the head.

Yeah they call me a "Feeder" when I tell somebody the spark plug gap instead of download this and download that and read until your eyes bleed. I thought that was the whole reason for a forum, support and interaction amongst people with the same interest. I like helping people, whether it's helping someone change a tire on the side of a busy street or push a broken down car out of the intersection, or God forbid, telling somebody .039-.043 gap size.

I gotta quit drinking, I totally forgot about that thread Captain.

'77 to '78 hose changes from valve cover to AAR. It keeps the AAR cleaner.

Have you tried to adjust it? It has a nut on the bottom for adjustment, you'll have to take the clipped on metal cover off first. I can't remember which way I turned mine to get it right though :stupid:.
