Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
Lets not forget this is a California Datsun engine! That's probably the root of the problems! After these years, I would have just purchased another engine with the stock cam and not messed up by a builder that doesn't know what they're doing.

Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
I've said this years ago, and I'll say it again....I think its the crappy California Datsun engine and most likely the hot Cam that was installed in the head. I've rebuilt these L6 engines and its not rocket science, unless you're an idiot. Good luck.

Raw gas fumes in 71z
I've been using a lot of seam sealer from underneith while my trans & diff are out. I can't believe how many cracks there are between the sheet metal and everywhere else.

Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
I thought this "rebuilt" engine had a hot-cam installed in it. Outside of the original Datsun specs and there are going to be problems for day-to-day driving. This one might be set up for WOT and will run great, but driving in traffic will probably suck.

Vent tank hoses
These are mainly early 240z fuel tank bits, but wanted to share in this new thread. I take no credit for the photos, just some I've collected along the way. Fuel-1973 240z 1974 260z fuel system modifications.pdf

Sudden engine shutoff
I had to replace the ignition switch (behind the key) on the steering column as my 45+ year old one in my '72 seemed to have crapped out while cruising down the highway due to the bouncing of the keys against the ignition switch.

Rear Axle Grease Catcher - Needed for Disc Conversion?
While pulling the axles out of my '72 240z I noticed that the Grease Catcher (#56 below) was damaged, most likely by the bad bearings that were in there or a prior service by a former owner. I'm converting to Disc Brakes and am questioning if I truly need the piece as its no longer available and its too far damaged to bend it back into shape. Based on the image it appears that the grease catcher is used to prevent grease from entering the inside of the brake drum. Does anyone run their rear axles without the grease catcher?

thoughts on 5spd and diff combos
I run a 4.11 and a ‘77 wide ratio 5speed. It’s very spirited driving and I love it. On the highway it’s at about 3500rpm in 5th at 75mph. I don’t have my Z for efficiency, fun is more important to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's how to wire up the OEM head unit antenna switch with a modern antenna. Up goes up & down goes down by use of some reversing relays. https://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2015/05/amfm-antenna-upgrade.html
