thanks! That's what I wanted to know.

Will this 1983 280ZX gas tank. Perfect shape, from my race car. No rust, no dents.OEM tank, Best one around. fit in my '72 240Z? Thanks!

Thanks! :classic:

I think I found the numbers on the block. There is a little raised place that has these numbers L26 050847 That L looks like an L, but it is curved, so I'm not possitive. Does this give any useful info? Thanks for all the advice!

I live in the Los Angeles area. The interior is in fairly good shape for how old it is. My friend is an upolsterer, so I hope he'll redo the seats for me as they have some tears in them. I am not particularly concerned with restoring the car to original specs or anything like that. I am more interested in something to enjoy driving AND racing. That said, are the stock carbs my best bet or is something more modern a better option? If I'm not mistaken, I would have to replace the intake manifold also, correct? That lime green is one... errrr... interesting color. The paint job isn't the best, so some of it shows through. I will be getting it painted someday. I think I will make it yellow - don't laugh. I like yellow cars. A funny side note - when my mom saw the car she was quite suprised and told me that it is the exact model that my dad picked her up in for their first date. That thing attatched to the fuel pump is an apple juice bottle turned gas tank! They rigged that up just to work on the engine because the gas tank is bad.

I just bought my first Z today. I don't know a lot, but I want to learn. I bought this Z from a friend and he told me a few things about it. I don't know how accurate the info is, so I am hoping for some help from the Z gurus that hang around the forums. I don't have full documentation for the car yet, but it is a '72 240Z with a 280 engine in it. I don't know whether that is a good or bad thing. Do you? What would serve me best with regards to replacing the carboration system? Is there a certain one that is preferable? I will be driving this car around town and also racing it with SCCA SOLO2 I also need a gas tank. Could anyone give me a push in the right direction? That is all I can think of right now. Here are some pictures. Thanks!
