Random Misfire while cruising
I've always called it loading up. Fuel/oil gets by idling but burns off at higher rpm. Boats are bad about doing that.

I beat you by about 10 years. Can't say enough good about Steve, he's one of those guys.

240z VIN# 960 Restoration
Asking too much but did this come from north Alabama? There's a guy on here that lives close and has a white/blue early car he's trying to restore but I haven't heard from him in years. Curious...

Starter motor question
That's what I thought, could be a bad starter.

Can't they put an M on the bag? I guess that's sexual discrimination at it's worst. They probably throw mine away after testing. They should charge more for it though, it's expensive what I do to keep this machine running.

COVID-19
From 1987 to ???? donating blood was my "wellness check". I did it a couple times a year just to make sure I didn't have some kind of horrible disease.

My Dad maxed out at 13 gallons I think. Had those little gold blood drops in a frame. We put it in his casket. He did it to get off work early and still get paid and cookies, juice.

74 260z distributor on wrong ??
Never an issue on my '72 with 2 SUs. I remove the air box completely. Took me a minute to figure out the hole on the side that allows air in. Mine was pegging out at first then I rotated it around to open up that hole and pull some outside air in. Then it was a lot easier to use.

Float level advice, please.
Looks like a 3/4" PEX crimp ring.

Jon Mayer Trio- Try, is a good album after you hear it a few times. It's not all girly like his other stuff.

Could you mail mine? Red Cross should follow these type incentives for blood donations. We've gotten to a "what's in it for me" society now and donations are suffering from that. Everybody already gets a couple of beers after a donation to get that quick buzz, just have a cooler full at the EXIT door.

'78 280z injectors not receiving power
Seems, looks like, some are missing? I had a bad alternator that back charged mine and popped all fuses. Sucked being me parts store replaced the alternator but that's all.

1970 HLS30-06521 Re-Restoration
I've seen those on a bunch or motor pics left on. Just like the rear hooks on 240s back bumper for shipping I removed mine. Stiil have them! But they're useless on our cars after the fact. Those levlers have some tricks to make them work smoother and bot so damn jumpy. If you can't find it in that thread let me know and I can share my experiences that makes it a little easier. @Jeff G 78hopefully will jump in too. Cliff

They figured out how to get Alabamians to vaccinate. No spectators again this fall if the data doesn't improve. Phones are ringing off the hook at my pharmacy and other locations to get in. Priorities people, Alabama's #1.

$2 at Harbor Freight or just about anywhere else. For working alone as I often do now days. You can position it so you see it from the drivers seat.
