So Long , Been Good To Know Ya
That door just might hit him a few times. If I walked away from everything I encountered in life just because there were some things involved that I didn't like, I'd probably have to spend all my time alone in a room or on a mountain top. Isn't that kind of how life itself is? If anyone can tell me that they like every part of everything that goes on in and around their life, I would ask for a lifetime supply of whatever it is that they are smoking! Someone in that thread said it very well when they talked about being alone even with company. CHILDISH CRAP!!!??? What would you call the signature line he left us with? Too many other things in the world to worry about.

Can You replace an Injector Hose?
I remember reading that in the FSM when I needed to replace the hoses on my 78 and got to thinking. . .soldering iron=heat+fuel :paranoid:. Instead I used an exacto like Will said and have used that method the other couple of times I had to replace injector hoses. I wasn't sure if it would work but each time I did one it became easier. I just really didn't like the idea of applying heat.

Clean one on e-bay
By 'bumper' I'm sure you mean license plate.

Cylinder head question.
After viewing what's been said here, and assuming that you are planning to keep the FI, use an FI head. I don't know if anyone has ever modified a E88 head for the factory FI but it sounds costly.

vinyl top?
Maybe a little off-topic but does any manufacturer currently offer vinyl tops? I don't recall seeing any car built in recent years with one. Maybe my mind just blocks them out. Never did like them on anything, Z or otherwise.

difference between FWD and RWD
The main reason that so many cars are FWD now is that production cost is lower than RWD. It has been my experience that FWD cars are more difficult and more expensive to maintain. There are problems that come up on a FWD car that are nonexistant on a RWD car. I have vowed never to own another FWD car. That's just my preference.

Trans pops out of gear on decel...
There are different cups depending on the transmission you have. Make sure you use the right one.

Performance AFM
Would that be a mass air flow sensor? I've heard of it being done. It would require more sophisticated engine managment that the early Z has. Let us know if you get it working.

I must have an LSD ?
The good doctor died in 1996 but his legend lives on. I was bored yesterday so I did a little test. (No LSD involved other than the differential ) I jacked up my 810 (open diff) and tested it and it responded just like yours, although I couldn't get it to do the 'somtimes niether.' I then jacked up my wife's J30 (viscous limited slip R200) and both wheels spin in the same direction when you turn either one.

Gas drips out of right side by above tire
I would also add that while you're in there, replace the hoses with fuel injection hose as they will last longer than regular fuel line. That is unless a 240 requires specially formed hoses.

Just bought a factory restored 72 240Z!
Some photo programs have the option to change other formats to .jpg. When I have a chance I'll look through mine and let you know which ones will do that. My wife is in the hospital and I've been doing a lot of running back and forth between home and there so my time on the computers is somwhat limited of late. (She's okay, routine surgery, and she should be coming home this evening)

I had the same problem the other day trying to upload the '240Z Restoration Checklist' earlier in this thread. Anyone else having this problem?

The statement was not aimed at anyone, any race, any nationality, any sexual orientation, or any whatever one might attempt to apply to it. It was simply an observation based on what I've seen since I've been here. Here I am attempting to explain my own opinion only to see it twisted into something much more serious than was my intention, which was not serious at all. I think that the rest that followed more than bares out the comment. Can we all just get along?

Vicky, I, too, understood what you meant. But based on other things I've read on this site, I also expected the comments that followed.

If only she hadn't said 'specifications.' Oh well.

Maybe the 2-5 hp would be enough to, at least, offset the weight of the stickers.

I'm on your side, Bill. Remember, you're never going to be able to please everyone.

Bill, I thought it was funny but then I don't come here to be serious.
