So if I understand this Tech Tip courtesy of Blue, counter clockwise leans it? Clockwise richens? Mine is running really good and temp is cooler, gets great gas mileage but my plugs might be a little dark. So I think I should turn it counter clockwise just a scratch, correct? http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tempsensorpot/index.html

I pulled the cover off my '77 that only has about 1500 miles on a newly rebuilt motor, also looked at the one I took off my 240 about a month ago. It has to be so close that the oil is slinging against the cover and making those footprints like Zkars says. I use VR1 and my valve cover didn't look like that when I put the motor together back in September '12. Sorry about that Hardway.

My Camry has a huge steel bar behind that Styrofoam.

Squirt that turn signal switch with some electrical cleaning spray, it worked for me. The car hadn't made a turn in quite a few years.

Wow that paint is beautiful! I'd have to tape a mirror to mine to get a reflection like that. Is it PPG paint? That be a good advertisement for them.

It was Hardway's valve cover.

Could you try and jump start it? I mean use jumper cables and another battery.

I remember somebody's doing that, the tensioner or one of the side guides caused it, maybe Grant with the yellow '77?

Try another battery charger.

You'll be back sniffing gas in no time.

Not bad at all! Great idea too.

I use the brake booster hose bung, it's bigger and easy to get to.

Your the "Spoiler" :classic:. I wouldn't have noticed had you not pointed those out! Still can't tell on the rear spoiler but if you say it's plywood it's plywood. Classic Pit Crew thinking.

In 1987 my girlfriend and myself got hit in the drivers door of a '78 I had. After the lady hit us we hit a tree. We had been swimming and still had on wet clothes and were wearing our seat belts. Her window was up and she busted it with the side of her head, sitting so low was what helped. I busted up the console then bent the steering wheel when we hit the tree. Panicked from the blood coming from her head I got her out of the car and sat her down right on top of an ant pile. We always looked back at the ant stings being the worst from that wreck. Pretty safe in the cocoon I think. EDIT; Now that I've been over and under a 240Z I think it'll be the death of me but it's better than riding motorcycles, which I've quit thanks to the Z's.

You sir are a classic, lurking in the shadows at it's very best!

Like some comedian said, be glad your not in an airplane when you hear a bump. Cars you can pull over and fix it with a coat hanger.

Yeah that's a nice car, I really like orange with black interior. I have orange with white. Want to trade? I have a dehumidifier that runs 1.5 hours then off for 1 hour, it's plugged in through a timer, and I empty the gallon? bucket sometimes twice a day and it stays about 65%. A pedestal fan keeps the humid air moving towards the appliance. Welcome to your new favorite web-site.

They want too much info for me and it's in the Old Country so why bother. I like the one Carl Beck has.

You've made my day Mr. Beck, thank You.

Borrow a compression gauge from a local parts store, AutoZone has them. That will tell you if you need a new head gasket.

Here's a good search engine for Craigslist and ebay. It'll give you an idea of pricing too. Datsun on SearchTempest
