DugsZ -- Electric fuel pumps are better at "pushing" than "pulling" thats why you mount it near the tank. Mechanical pumps are the opposite, they do great with suction.

I’ve got a full set from my ‘72 240z that are in nice condition if anyone is Interested Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

These have been on ebay forever (not mine) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240z-SU-Carb-SM-Race-Needles/302795291986?hash=item4680017d52%3Ag%3ANVkAAOSwmrlUwq27&_sacat=0&_nkw=SU+SM+Needle&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313

No need for the ballast resistor without points. I pulled mine off and the engine runs great with a full 12v going to the plugs Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have a single one that you’re looking for! No use to me as a single one. PM me and we can work out a deal Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Mine sits for 7 months during the winter with just some stabile in the tank. Modern gas probably can last ~a year.

I'd run some Marvel's Mystery Oil through the crankcase & valvetrain http://www.marvelmysteryoil.com

I got my hands on a NOS set of float valves (longer & shorter for '72 240z) and it solved my problems with float bowl levels. They're no longer available, so you need to hunt for them.

Big shout out to Z Car Depot and their rear strut tower brace. Purchased one and installed in minutes. I like that I can still use the factory covers and that it is so beefy. Highly recommended, very good quality welds. https://zcardepot.com/rear-strut-tower-brace-bar-240z-260z

What are the options for replacement now that they are NLA from Nissan? Anyone find a supplier?

And thats why I have a spare OEM distributor in case the one I'm running ever goes bad!

Looks very promising! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Should he really even need to use the cold start (choke) in Panama?? I live in Chicago and never need it even in winter Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I found a bad needle valve tonight in my round tops, very intermittent too. Glass bowl/sight glass is the way to go! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

your plugs look nicer than mine ever do!

I'm in the same boat, I think it depends on what you're doing with the car!

My cheapo AirTex fuel pump gives me 2.3PSI at the carbs & my bowls have never run dry.

Just saw this crazy contraption, wonder if this would help the heat issue. https://www.godzillaraceworks.com/shop/l6-cylinder-head-cooling-system-mod-kit

I think it’s the hot cam along with the Datsun parts LLC engine!! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Mine mounts to the bottom of the floor and I’m not sure if it’s mounted correctly Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Trying to replace the u-joints in my ‘72 240z (r180), and the moog 393 replacements aren’t fitting in correctly to allow for the retaining clips to seat fully. Decided to measure the new vs old ujoints and the new ones are ~2 mm bigger Than the ones I took off. Any advice on what else to try? The caps are the right size, the body just seems to wide.

My ‘72 that I’ve rebuilt does the same thing, just takes some extra cranks for the bowls to fill back uo Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I’m hoping to rebuild mine too! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Here are some of my dad's Road America (Elkhart Lake) pictures from the late 70's / early 80's. Parking in the "Z Zone" with the windy city Z club.
