Sticking a camera under there would give you a look at the filter while the pump is running.

Make sure the arrow on the clear filter coming out of your tank points towards the fuel pump. Silly I know but I bought a 240z and the plastic fuel filter in the engine compartment was backwards, car ran good until it got down to half of a tank then it started acting weak like it was running out of gas. I caught that and it hasn't done it since but I try and keep at least half full anyway; do not need any damn rust! Looks like the top or larger cap goes towards the pump.

That's why everybody here calls them "Blue's Tech Tips", not Atlantic Z's or Zcar's. We all have used them and owe you a big THANK YOU, really we owe you $$$; do you have a paypal account?

I just read if it's not burnt? don't change it, it will cause slippage. Read post 5 & 6 & 10. 280z transmission oil change - Nissan : Datsun ZCar forum :Nissan Z Forum: 240Z to 370Z

Thank you for that, I've got one in my glove box that needs reattaching.

You'll need an Air Flow Meter I would think, I know nothing about MegaSquirt's system.

Salt vs. humidity I suppose.

Does it look like this? Mine had that pink Bondo looking stuff on the terminals too, also without boots.

I made the mistake of bragging to my Dad how good my '77 gas tank refurbish went and wasn't more than $50. Well he brought me a tank from a '55 series 2 Chevrolet truck he's restoring. WOW! That sum beach was rusted. 2 gallons of acid later it looks nice and clean inside. Tomorrow I'll seal it with Red-Kote because I'm about to drink at least a 12 pack then burn a Ribeye. Cheers!

All I've ever seen is his hands in his tech tips, now a face! I'll say it again "Blue's the Man".

You just have to pop the black cover off to get to the spring. Here's something to look at http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/afm/index.html Go down half the page and you'll see FINGERING written to the far left and a picture of a left thumb moving the counter weight. LESS FUEL to the left, MORE FUEL to the right.

You mean water? Like in the toilet?

I had a "too much information" moment, sorry, but here I go again! I never slowed down just unzipped and and relieved myself in the empty bottle, don't put it back in your cup holder though or you'll be stopping to vomit.

I always buy Gatorade, the empties are great port-a-johns. Trips take too long having to stop and pee all the time. Truckers call them "wizz bombs".

Mr Knuckle Duster I have a question about the '71 you've sold. Why the hole on the top at the back of the air box? Those are 2 nice looking cars by the way, superstitions be damned.

Turbo oil pump spun with a Dewalt cordless drill on low. Love that high flow oil pump even better now!

Please update us with that motor. I can hardly wait to see what you say about it. I've read up on that cam and it looks good to my unknowing eyes. I have an E31 without the cam and rockers but the larger valves and an F54 with dished pistons. I hope I could make a decent running spare motor with what I have plus the cam kit.

On my '77 it's 3/8" coming out of the tank to the pump, or something metric that's close to 3/8's. From the pump foward it's 5/16". Here's something to read and then do. Z Car Tech Tips Fram G3 Filter Installation

The high pressure is after the pump. Go ahead and put the G3 between the tank and the pump.

That's the best one yet! Their cousin has some Datsun Pickup "Row Bars" for sale too.

I would take the whole bracket off the car, after removing the hoses, put it on a bench and use a good pair of Vise Grips. 2 10mm bolts hold it on.

Yeah retailmenot.com has great coupon codes for advanceautoparts.com

I'd bet the fuel filter is clogged. Walmart has one that's close to Nissan's for about $10 if I remember right, it's a Fram. I used one on my '77 for a couple of months when I first bought the car.

Add some Yosemite Sam "BACK OFF" mud flaps and the reflective tape. Or just drive faster.
