  1. I tried that one too. I couldn't find it on there. It's a "resale everyone else's stuff" web site.
  2. Here's what I have. Looks pretty close to me. It's attached to the drier with a worm clamp. I thoght it would be nicer than that but it's the same as your picture. You pay shipping and it's yours. PM your info if you want it. Cliff
  3. Mine is the regular wide B that touched. Came from the factory in my '77. 240 fit fine, no issues with that 5 speed.

    Something else I remembered that is a lot easier on carbed cars that have old gas is put the fuel pickup in a small jerry can of gas, bypassing the fuel tank altogether. Run a hose from the "in" on the fuel filter behind the radiator to the gas can. You can strap it down and go for a short ride in your new "ride". The fuel tanks are bad to crud up and rust if they're left sitting low of fuel.
  5. I had the wrong cap on a Nissan D21 pickup, forever it seems now, that would jump spark and ran like garbage when I tried to accelerate too fast. It ran fine as long as I pampered the pedal.

    Don't try to crank it yet with that 10 year old gas. Drain that crap then put a filter straight out of the tank. This is a 280's but you'll get the idea. For my 240 a Fram G2 works best. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm Oh yeah, welcome to the forum. A lot of information here plus some laughs, mostly tongue in cheek stuff though. I/we kid around a lot. Post some pics of that 260! We enjoy looking at other peoples stuff.
  7. It could be a ZX rotor button under a Z cap? I have know idea about the compatibility of those two but I do know a ZX has bigger cap and rotor. It looks like your rotor button is too big to me. If the shaft won't wobble I would do what Mark suggested and get the right combo from Bosch. $10 maybe???
  8. My 6 to 1 MSA header barely hit my 5 speed transmission. Had to grind some aluminium off the transmission so be aware of that.
  9. I've read that too. Keeps the heat from the exhaust manifold from burning up your oil pan gasket or hardening from constant heat would be more like it.
  10. I've got that whole York system off my '72 in my storage building somewhere. It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock now but maybe this Saturday I can look for it? I will let you know ASAP.
  11. I used SEM Rust Inhibitor with good results. It'll turn whatever you put it on black but it will not rust any worse. EDIT: maybe it was "Rust Mort"?
  12. Which rings will you use? I bought Hasting's chrome faced for mine. That was about 2 or 3 years ago, maybe I should check the compression numbers.
  13. Could you get a helper to make it do the grinding thing and then you listen around and see where it is coming from? That's what I would try and you may already have. It could be the water pump impeller rubbing against the front cover. That's pretty common. What about the sound with the clutch engaged/disengaged? Listen around the alternator too. They can make a grinding noise when you rev the motor. It would have that black dust all over it also.
  14. This is the easiest way to see where your fuel levels are in the float chambers. It's simple to do and will get you close enough to know whether you need to go further. The small hose is available at any hardware store or fish aquarium supply business, I think it's 3/16" but it's been awhile since I've done it. I think this was done by @zKars so that's who we say thank you too. If I'm wrong, thank you to whoever did this.
  15. That's some kind of BS website. I couldn't find those float tools on there. The user "Randella" doesn't make them anymore.
  16. He plainly said he sells them on ebay. What do you want to hear? That's the question.
  17. I'm with Steve. If you won't have to get inspections get rid of it. Less cracks to break in the futute.
  18. Are those plastic toggle switches still available from anyone? I've got 2 lights with those broken off, not on either car of course so no biggie just curious.
  19. That was a well spent Benjamin. Looks great!
  20. Weren't those other two somehow connected to the crank sensor on the later ZXs?
  21. Edit: Welp no upload for me. I'll try later. That's what I think too. My cars are all jammed up in the garage presently but here's a couple of pics that show those same holes but the point towards the front lip.
