Cool Technology For Any (Lazy) Guitar Players Out There :)
If you could figure a way to get that guitar to turn the knob on a potentionmeter, that'd be cool. I've got kazoos on mine.

Stolen 240Z
I used to go to New Orleans a lot and leave my BMW parked for weeks at a time in "park and pay" lots. Always pulled the coil wire off and put it in my suitcase. Center caps off the wheels went into the trunk. Luckily I never had any attempts that I could tell.

Awe come on! I love Lewis Black, especially when he gets wound up enough that spit starts coming out of his mouth. Do you know what 'meteorologist' means in English? It means liar. Lewis Black

Engine Head Plug Sizes
I connected the heater hoses together with a 3/4" PEX coupling and put a bolt in a piece of hose for the cylinder head until I can get my heater core's valve fixed.

L28 About To Pull The Head, Any Advice?
Here's the one I went by, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/39674-77-280z-head-removal-step-by-step-photos/ That chain tensioner tool makes all the difference in the world.

$10 grand is a helluva reason to leave it parked somewhere it can be "found".

My Distributor Timing Is Horrible
If you have a ZX dizzy the cap is larger as well as the plug gap. Does it utilize the E12-80? Okay I see you have the OE dizzy. Sorry.

That thing is old and rounded out. It feels like a worn 150 maybe? And it's an air powered die/dye? Grinder. The dremel cut it fine but made a bunch of thin cuts. That flapper will cut half an inch if you're not careful. I was very happy with my reliefs. I may have drank 4 or 5 beers afterwords. This stuff makes me nervous!

Google Image Search Experiment
Are you putting your cursor on the picture, hold down the "S" key and right clicking it? That's a trick I read about google shortcuts. It works good most of the time for me. Go to the "original boobs thread" and try it.

Refinishing Exhaust Manifold For Stock Appearance
Look at Dizeased's in post #3. Maybe he'll reply and say what he used? http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/51171-keep-original-air-port-exhaust-manifold-or-who-cares/#entry466421

'72 240Z Rebuild
Good news, you guys are right, the machinist said the same thing. My heart fell into my shoes when I saw that pit. It made me sick to my stomach then I got to drinking away the blues and got sick to my head. He has everything now except a piston, he said he needed one for measuring a few different things. My short valve seals are on the UPS truck for delivery today so tomorrow he'll get those and a piston. All is well in my world for a few minutes. Oh yeah, I forgot to say what he said about the .190" lash pads that came with the cam. He said they send the thickest needed and that he has a way of milling the others down if they need to be shorter.

Yes I did use the flapper wheel. I tried making the exhaust a little bigger than the intake sides, the intakes barely scratch the bore. I also went down at the same angle as the valves, toward the spark plug holes. When I had the block outside I noticed a small hole in the cylinder wall. Don't have a clue as to how it got there or what to do about it. Taking everything to the machinist today. He'll tell me what can be done or not done. May end up using the .030" over F54 after all. ITM flat tops are only $200, apparently. Anyway what do y'all think? It had good compression numbers and the walls are beautiful except for this little pimple.

I'm About Done With The %**&ing Efi
My '79 ZX dizzy uses a different coil, 1.5 OHMS, and hotter plugs than what my '77 had before the swap. I was wondering if those 2 things and the lack of air up there would cause an incomplete burn leading to all the soot? Maybe at warm up when the idle drops they are fouling then when you run it up they burn off? I had to throw another stick in your spokes, there's not many left.

More like a common sense blowing out the soot. A "poor man's tune up" is done on the side of the road to get home.

Put a vacuum gauge on it. They're very helpful diagnosing problems. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/vacuum/

Afm Spring Adjustment - Bothersome Thoughts
- '72 240Z Rebuild
Welp I went ahead and took the dive. I can always get more off but I think this will be conservative enough until the machinist gets done and mocks it up. Criticism is more than welcome, atta boys are better.- '72 240Z Rebuild
That's what they are then, if the '73 had bigger cap bolts. The '73s weigh about 19 grams more. Wouldn't I want less weight at the crank? That's why I'm grinding the caps like Nissan did. Man am I nervous about cutting the OE block for valve reliefs. I did all the holes on the spare block and will post pictures of what I did and let y'all tell me which grind looks best and then try to replicate that onto the OE block. I'm trying to get some outside stuff done to my property before the pollen starts. That stuff kills me now that I've gotten older. We only get about 2 to 3 weeks of spring before the pollen then it gets hot and humid. But I could be snowed in. ::- 240Z Being Auctioned On Bat
Thank you Mr Beck. Makes perfect sense now. I've only bought new Exmark mowers, never a brand new car. Maybe someday? - '72 240Z Rebuild
