Brake cleaner? That's pretty strong stuff. I like the "low and slow" approach like barbecue.

Like your garage. Tire storage is great! It's cold out so maybe you can spend some time in there? Everybody loves a "rebuild" thread.

I used this on my last SU rebuild and they look great. It's a polishing wad, whatever that means, wipe it on then buff it off.

Here's my biggest time saver for my '77. He's done it all already. Click on "electrical" and also "efi and fuel". Good stuff to read through and even better camera work. Thanks @240260280 https://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/

Yes, the black plastic box on the side of the afm and the other smaller on. The TPS. I would also cover the distributor somehow.

I looked at my '77 and it looks like they hold a heat sheild or maybe an exhaust bracket?

If they're on the side I'd guess they hold the antenna bracket. Hard to tell from your picture. Maybe post one a little farther out?

Old thread that talks about the Arizona pan below. Your's looks like a knock-off of the Kameari pan to me. You might search that?

I raise the front up as high as I can before I start. Ramps are the easiest but sometimes jack stands. I'm a bad leaner when fooling with the SUs. It took me a year or so to figure this out but Imma kinda slow.

Yeah those magnetic fastner holder things were a big help. I got those at Harbor Freight for a couple of bucks each.

I bought some paint dropcloths, runners is what they call the size I bought. When I'm leaning on those tin can fenders I put the hardest carboard in between the dropcloths, sandwich style. I want nice fender protectors but that was cheap for me at the moment. Now I don't need anything since I'm done. Found some pics...

I used plastic paint scrapers. They're cheap so you can get a few sizes. I like Murphy's oil soap. It's a good cleaner and no harmful chemicals. Mix it with super hot water for the best results. I have a plastic coffee container with a lid and microwave it before using. Sponge it on let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes then scrap the greasy goop off.

I did the rapid test at my physician's office this morning and the results were negative. Never have I been so happy to go back to work! Initially I had the PCR test that came back positive so I quarantined for 10 days and had another PCR test. Still detected Covid. Then I talked with my pharmacist and my doctor's PA. They said the PCR would show the slightest amount for up to and even beyond 4 weeks. So the lesson here for me, to get the negative result, was after your symptoms are gone and you've done the 10 day quarantine get the rapid antigen test. The free money days are over for Covid and I have a mortgage plus a Datsun diZease. This turned my world upside down for almost 2 weeks and I was only sick for 48 hours. The dead giveaway for me were the night sweats so pay attention to that and keep your mouth shut. It's hard not to talk about being positive but not something you really want to share, at least for me. People are scared.

I'm learning new stuff. "Faraday cage", "Spinal Tarp" and "land line". I'll google this and be smarter.

There's some good info on here about header flange thickness, straightness and bolting down properly. I have 2 MSA ceramic 6to1 on mine and love them. If I were you and you live in a state without smog testing I'd come up with a plan and do away with the egr stuff since you're basically killing it off anyway. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and will post up some searches I remember being helpful when I did my '77 while I sit out in my car waiting. Damn covid! I fart in it's general direction but I'll do whatever to protect my family.

EDIT:This stuff is a little more than you need after seeing your car. I think @psdenno has the easiest solution for what you're doing. I used this stuff on the rear deck of a 240 I had a few years ago. It had sat out and the rust was bad. This stuff killed the rust and turned it black. I painted over that with the cars color then found a good 240 with very little rust. Sold the rusty one, kept the better one. I bought mine at a local auto paint supply but you can read about it on amazon. A lot of people like it. I think it has some type of acid mixed in with it. I remeber it had a strong smell. https://www.amazon.com/SEM-69504-Rust-Mort-Quart/dp/B000HI690U/ref=asc_df_B000HI690U/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312105316935&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14786446358275635632&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012728&hvtargid=pla-491175288209&psc=1

It is slow to load on my phone's ISP but normal on my laptop. I just open another tab while I wait. We're not saving lives. Grateful to be included! P.s fyi Do not search Warby Parker eyeglasses.

Another easy thing would be swap the plugs around to see if it stays on that same hole. I'd do plugs and wires no longer than it'd take. Best of luck, hoping it's something easy. That crush washer could be "crushed"?

3 emotions... Happy Sad Thanks, for paying it forward

Oh yeah, the PCV pipe out of the block.

That black looks awful good! I wound up using Pontiac blue on my 240z's block. A lighter color than Datsun Spirit but closer to the OEM spray i found on my car's motor mounts and oversprayed oil pan. There were other places i can't recall right now?

A little humor in these miserable times I think. My insurance agent is a Ford but drives Toyotas.

I think you could build one for a lot less money. Make it wide too so you'll plenty of room. Give it to your wife as a greenhouse attempt?

In my experience o-rings are like horse shoes and hand grenades. Close is good enough but always go bigger rather than smaller.
