a long needed oil change she hadnt had one in at least 15 years because i just got her running after sitting for 15 years and new battery

78 280z and an 85 635 csi i hate the bimmer though its too big

my buddy had put the damn ditributor in backwards shes alive hey bruce how much do you guys charge to adjust carbs

i dont have an electronic distributor or any money for one so i found this distributor and it worked i replaced the points in it and adjusted them and it was running great the electronic pump was faulty so i wnt and got another and it puts out 5-7 psi could that be my problem?

it was running amazing yesterday then i adjusted the points to 0.18mm and started it up set the timing and purrfect then i am standing there after drining it home and it dies like i shut the key off now i have spark and fuel but no start?

adjusted the timing and it ran smooth with good power and everything then it died and wont start again it really tries but wont go like its flooded or somethin any ideas?

SHE LIVES rough but she lives

so the river was caused by no bottom intake bolts and the gas leaking was a mis adjusted float i adjusted it to 8mm instead of 11 (im not the sharpest crayon in the box). so i fixed those and now she really tries to start up but she wont stay running she runs for about 5 seconds then dies. any ideas? oh yeah and giving her gas doesnt help either

so i have a 78 280z with 72 su's on it and i was wondering if anyone has ever had a river of gas going down their block while trying to start their car does anyone know what the bottom intake bolts look like cause im so close to finally getting her started but there are no bolts on the bottom of my intake so its not getting enough gas to the head......... OH and my front carb is pooling with gas and sometimes dripping out the front..... idle adjustment too high???
