Another misplaced tech tip: 77 clutch master and slave cylinder
That's why everybody here calls them "Blue's Tech Tips", not Atlantic Z's or Zcar's. We all have used them and owe you a big THANK YOU, really we owe you $$$; do you have a paypal account?

l28 carb to EFI swap help!
You'll need an Air Flow Meter I would think, I know nothing about MegaSquirt's system. Google Image Result for http://www.zcarsource.com/uimages/product_photos/fuel_injection/air_flow_meter.jpg Here's some stuff to read. http://www.google.com/webhp?source=search_app#sclient=psy-ab&q=260z+carbs+to+EFI&oq=260z+carbs+to+EFI&gs_l=hp.3...10790.20195.0.21658.17.16.0.1.1.0.85.811.15.15.0...0.0.0..1c.1.17.psy-ab.LlHttTGVWWQ&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.48705608,d.eWU&fp=9fe61fbe687758b0&biw=1280&bih=620

Salt vs. humidity I suppose.

Does it look like this? Mine had that pink Bondo looking stuff on the terminals too, also without boots.

Learning to keep quiet!
I made the mistake of bragging to my Dad how good my '77 gas tank refurbish went and wasn't more than $50. Well he brought me a tank from a '55 series 2 Chevrolet truck he's restoring. WOW! That sum beach was rusted. 2 gallons of acid later it looks nice and clean inside. Tomorrow I'll seal it with Red-Kote because I'm about to drink at least a 12 pack then burn a Ribeye. Cheers!

All I've ever seen is his hands in his tech tips, now a face! I'll say it again "Blue's the Man".

You just have to pop the black cover off to get to the spring. Here's something to look at http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/afm/index.html Go down half the page and you'll see FINGERING written to the far left and a picture of a left thumb moving the counter weight. LESS FUEL to the left, MORE FUEL to the right.

Drinks to take on the Road
You mean water? Like in the toilet?

Drinks to take on the Road
I had a "too much information" moment, sorry, but here I go again! I never slowed down just unzipped and and relieved myself in the empty bottle, don't put it back in your cup holder though or you'll be stopping to vomit.

Drinks to take on the Road
I always buy Gatorade, the empties are great port-a-johns. Trips take too long having to stop and pee all the time. Truckers call them "wizz bombs".

Door lock issue, advice needed
Mr Knuckle Duster I have a question about the '71 you've sold. Why the hole on the top at the back of the air box? Those are 2 nice looking cars by the way, superstitions be damned.

Camshaft help needed
Turbo oil pump spun with a Dewalt cordless drill on low. Love that high flow oil pump even better now!

Camshaft help needed
Please update us with that motor. I can hardly wait to see what you say about it. I've read up on that cam and it looks good to my unknowing eyes. I have an E31 without the cam and rockers but the larger valves and an F54 with dished pistons. I hope I could make a decent running spare motor with what I have plus the cam kit.

Fuel Line Question
On my '77 it's 3/8" coming out of the tank to the pump, or something metric that's close to 3/8's. From the pump foward it's 5/16". Here's something to read and then do. Z Car Tech Tips Fram G3 Filter Installation

The high pressure is after the pump. Go ahead and put the G3 between the tank and the pump.

flice water
That's the best one yet! Their cousin has some Datsun Pickup "Row Bars" for sale too.

78' 280Z stumbles under throttle application
I would take the whole bracket off the car, after removing the hoses, put it on a bench and use a good pair of Vise Grips. 2 10mm bolts hold it on.

Buying parts from RockAuto - risks?
Yeah retailmenot.com has great coupon codes for advanceautoparts.com

78' 280Z stumbles under throttle application
I'd bet the fuel filter is clogged. Walmart has one that's close to Nissan's for about $10 if I remember right, it's a Fram. I used one on my '77 for a couple of months when I first bought the car.

Reflector strips on Taillight Panel?
Add some Yosemite Sam "BACK OFF" mud flaps and the reflective tape. Or just drive faster.

Temperature?
How does your fan clutch resist spinning? If the fan spins too easy (motor not running!) you may need to replace that. There only about $20. You've not told us is this something new to your car or has it been reading that temp?

Need some paint help
Right click in the picture then select "Copy Image", then paste in your pictures file. Then when making a post go "Advanced" then select the file and upload it then drag down to the bottom row and click "Done" in the bottom right corner. I think I got that right, I'm celebrating Father's Day without any kids!
