Hello all! I am new to the forum and new to my 1972 240z passed down to me by my father the original owner. It has a F54 block from 81-83 280z and a N42 head (75-76 280z) from what i gathered. My problem is that it has major exhaust leak. I can tell some hoses need replaced because they have some cracks and when i spray carb ether stuff on the hoses it changes the idle. But was told by my father that i have to replace manifold because it too leaks. I want to put on a header and new exhaust and am looking at zstore for there 6-1 header with MSA exhaust or the 3-2 header with exhaust. Wondering which one will sound better? Any suggestions would be great. Not looking for quiet, all for it sounding mean. Second part and more importantly, when i start it it starts fine and idles fine, however when i push on gas to drive or even rev it up it doesn't want to rev and acts like its gonna die. Can this be just because of the exhaust leak? Feels and acts like to much air getting in there. Drives, but i have to drive with choke half way open. Any input would be great. sorry for the long post, but need help bad and am in love with this car and want to get it running good so i can enjoy! Thanks in advance!
