When I first bought my 240 that's the same spot it ran at, worried me because my other car ran cooler. I put a new water pump on and a Nissan thermostat, they have bigger openings, and now it stays in the middle. A small change for some small $$ but it was worth it to me.

Northern Lights, that's good stuff.

That's great, Woo Hoo x 2!

I'm sorry Leon, I was speaking of their size and fitment.

Am I missing something? My '77 has a drain plug on the passengers side. You could get one of those plastic containers that fit under beds for storing thing, X-mas decorations etc. Here's one: Z Tech Tips Ball and Socket Compression Rod (AtlanticZ.ca) Click on it. It's not about ball sockets.

Here's a '76 for free, http://sridout.com/datsun/76circuit_COLOR.pdf Has all the tools to enlarge it too.

I've got the "B" internal oiled cam on the N47 and an "A" stamped spray bar oiled cam from the E31 I suppose as it was not attached the the E31 head when I bought that car with the extra engine (almost complete extra engine). They both are E30 stamped too. I'm guessing he took it off for the new valves that were put in it, the E31. So as soon as it rains I have some reading to do to see what I think I should do then I ask all of you what to do and it'll be 180 degrees different I know. Well I already know now that cams '70 through '83 are the same except the turbo. So I could use the "A" spray bar cam on the E31 head. Only problem now is what Jeff said, all the rockers and lash pads are in Gatorade bottles, mixed up.

Ah come on now. They could be Korean hand pumps.

Happy Anniversary. OCD & high anxiety gets things done and bills paid on time (gets me out of bed every day) but it can slow me down when I get overly obsessive, I put my pistons in 3 times, dimples up 2nd time then gaps at 10, 2 and 4 o'clock 3rd time. I got excited and couldn't remember or drank too much beer (most likely). I'm my own worst enemy.

My 2 aren't anything like that.

Without buying Chinese made stuff all I would have is my dog. Sadly even the American money in my pocket probably is counterfeit from over their. There's a little Far East in everything now days. Anti-freeze for sweetener even.

I do now. :bulb: Captain Obvious I'm not sure of the stamp on mine but it is internally oiled and also had a spray bar that was barley there when I bought the car. I'm going to get it down this weekend and see what's what and I'll let you know if I need it. Thanks for the help. Cliff

Thanks Jeff. I could use that cam and if I didn't like I could always spend some $$ and get a new cam kit. I want to try and put a spare motor together while I'm paying off the 240 I bought. I need a feeler gauge to see if I have any money in my wallet right now, it's that flat. That N47 was just a boat anchor until now. thanks again.

What about a cam out of a 09/'76 N47 with oiler cam plus spray bar? on a E31 with larger valves? Would it work too?

I'd keep the one you drive the most, sale the other.

Likely Craigslist and E-bay ads.

'77 & '78 has the raised rear deck, don't know about UK 260 though. I've been looking at ACC 16605, haven't bought it yet so can't comment on quality. 1977 280Z Complete Carpet Without Wheel Wells Shock Covers ACC16605 | eBay

NBC at my house.

I like the #112 lime color and I'm sure it's a pain to change the color of the engine bay. http://www.zhome.com/History/ZColorGallary/112Yellow2.jpg And, YES, I admire an original color painted car, especially those '70's colors.

You've got yourself an "opportunity" to learn every inch of a Z right there.

What took you a week took me 2 months. :embarrass: Fire in the hole!
