    I have to jump back in the fire tomorrow at 6 am and I'm worried too. It's causing me to drink! Who'd thought? The owner said the dumbest thing I've heard from him in the 26 years we've been friends. "I'm not wearing no damn mask! Why should I if everybody else is" He wasn't kidding either.
  2. I've started buying Ever Start batteries from Walmart. $50 plus tax I think, less than $60 I know. Batteries have gone through the roof price wise at least my local Interstate store. This is sitting in the original bottom plastic pan? and measures less than 8". FYI only, it's no show car.
  3. My Dad sang this all the time when I was a kid and helping him do stuff. I heard Vince on Mike & Molly sing it the other night and now I can't quit it myself.

    Mine is an Alpha A5K. https://www.radioshack.com/products/radioshack-5k-ohm-audio-taper-potentiometer?variant=20332246341

    But I put mine inside the cabin temporarily so i could turn it while driving. I could make it run cooler on the interstate and flood it completely out like Zed says. I used speaker wire through the firewall and put the knob in passenger's seat.

    I played with mine for a week before I found it's sweet spot. Then zip-tied it all up.
  7. Mine pops a little on deceleration too. What's your timing set at? I think mine is all the way maxed out at 17 degrees at idle and then 34 at 2,500 rpm. That's with the zx distributor.
  8. Poplar, Beech... What a sap.

    Put some flowers in it, tell them it's for your wife.

    You can get these Nissan manifold gaskets still. Dealership gets them overnight down here. They have distribution hubs in MS and TX. Here's the part #. Thanks @gwri8

    Thats a diamond for a p79, 99.99%. Lowest opening...

    Maybe n42 block and n47 head? They look round compared to my n42 square port header. You can see the squareness on mine. Sorry i don't have my laptop handy. Look at the pics on msa's website maybe???? Good luck with it.

    They don't look my msa ceramic headers. They won't turn that blue color like your pic. They look like ss to me and if the flange up top is the same thickness as msa's which matches the intake thickness just right I think they look good for $100.
  14. Did you get 12v on the white/red solder blob? If you have a wire peirceing volt meter you can just check that wire under the steering wheel. Good luck.
  15. Sounds like the exact thing my combo switch did. I went by this, flip those 2 plates now it works like new. Eh, it's a pdf. Here's the link, it's safe to download. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.kamikazeracing.org/dl/ZTech/Rebuild_240Z_combo_switch.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj3vYv0oLTpAhVkhuAKHZ86C70QFjAEegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw1MgWNgBd3yM5WQ0jnGnjgR
  16. I need dramamine to watch the dvd but it is excellent on the info. My favorite is the "quick and dirty" Phillip put together.

    Datsun garage? They look a lot better than my amcos. Six feet of cracked, stiff roof shigles.
  18. here's a little of what I've read over the years. I agree with Namerow, it's all up to you and your end goal for the car. http://woodworkerb.com/home/datsun-240z-rebuild/seat-rebuild/

    Yep, cost me $5 for a Radio Shack volume knob. My '77 would spit and sputter until 2,500 rpm then go vroom vroom. After the Pot tweak it leaves out strong and continues to vroom vroom.
  20. Agree with Zed Head on the rear exhaust leak. Not really a knocking noise as much as a ticking in my experience.

    They used the $300 panels on the 510. Fast forward is great.

    I saw these on a show, maybe Wheeler Dealers? They used them on a blue 510 and it looked good. So I search a little and find some for $331 and $1, 050. What do you guys think? They look like Christmas decorations to me but a lot brighter from the rear so attention getter for the fools that like to tailgate. Maybe I could just get the socket type LEDs, much cheaper. Plenty more important things to do like the Honda wiper and the other Dave Irwin upgrades. Bored as hell... https://www.amazon.com/Dapper-Lighting-240Z7073-1970-1973-Sequential/dp/B01GUBM15O https://zledslights.com/multimedia/?aid1=840863762611071

  24. If you're cleaning the tank why would you not get out the things that are in the tank? Makes the whole thing pointless IMHO. I've only done two but you could hear a fly buzzing around in those big empty cans.
  25. You might dig the rest out and put one of these in. 2nd thought. Probably easier to put a smaller one inside the remaining plastic.
