The Geely that killed in Tempe was Chinese. Not sure if you ever used software from China... I have.... it was poorly written and useless for what it was supposed to do.

Definitive 70 & 71 240z SU Fuel Level Thread
Here is all you need to know to set the fuel level in a fuel bowl for 240z from 1970 to 1971 inclusive (You will have to deal with the oddball bowl in the 72's however the FSM states that the fuel level will be the same in each bowl). Below are two marks at 20mm & 23mm down from the top lip of the fuel bowl. The FSM shows the fuel to be 23mm down from the roof of the fuel bowl(which is 20mm down from the top lip but it may be a typo. Pick one and be happy. The great Brian Little transposed the 23mm down from the top lip of the fuel bowl to a depth from the top of the bridge in the carb throat. He came up with 10mm down. I repeated the experiment below by using a telephoto camera shot to reduce parallax distortion and arrived at the same result. Here is almost how you should measure fuel level with an installed carb. (I like to scribe a mark on the fuel bowl and use a long clear pipe Tee'd into the rubber line from the bowl to the jet). I then press this line against the fuel bowl scribe and adjust the float tang to set the level). The photo below almost has it correct but the hose is too far away from the side of the fuel bowl for accuracy. Also, there is no scribed fuel level on the bowl to use as a reference. Here is better way to measure: Here is the controversial FSM reference of 23mm down from roof of bowl: Here is Brian Little's work:

I think it is more of an underlying cold-war issue pushing this. The first country to master it is king of the castle thus the govt. buy in..... at the price of how many citizens?

1972 Float Adjustment ...
I read 1/64th of an inch (bad memory..I rechecked and 1/16th). From my experience trying that technique, it is not accurate. The only way to accurately balance SU carbs w/o air fuel meter is to run on one carb at a time and make sure each runs its 3 cylinders at the same rpm as the other carb AT THE SAME AIR FLOW. This is achieved by measuring air flow and adjusting jet heights to match rpms. Then you read the plugs. If you have an a/f meter, do the same and set the a/f for 28 to 29 when running on 3 cylinders at 2000 to 3000 rpm AT THE SAME AIR FLOW and re-check when driving under load. If the needle does not meter the fuel from idle to acceleration under load correctly then there are only a few parameters to tune with (jet height, carb springs, carb piston weights, and damper oil) The only other way to tune is needle re-shape.

That is British hocus pocus. Setting carbs with 1 /32" change in piston lift air flow at idle is optimistic.

They should put dumb-driver-cars on rails or on fixed lanes as a first step. Current computer technology has no right to be mixing it up with humans.

Vehicle hitting woman was a Geely from China. She was in a bike lane with a bike. Here is where the woman with bike was hit. The Geely was obviously just entering the right turn lane. You figure it out.

1972 Float Adjustment ...
J, Can you mark a line on the outside of the fuel bowl where the top of the gas reaches? It is hard to tell from the angle of the photos?

Bring back rails and tracks and let them go "look ma, no hands". I doubt self driving cars can go left or right in the lane to see what is going on up ahead proactively like we all do. There are so many subtle yet important driving skills that these cars do not have. I bet they just blindly follow gps to stick in the lane and only react to the car in front. It would be interesting to see what a self driving car does when it comes upon an accident with cars strewn around in different directions. Does it just pass the stopped car in front and plow on through or does it come to a stop like most humans would?

Obviously this front guy has access to the supplier or is the supplier as he has sold so many and was able to have the paint changed rather quickly. He knowingly ripped off past buyers for thousands of dollars. Keep reporting his ads on Craigslist and Ebay to shut this crap down.- DIY Home Built Vapor Blasting/ Honing Cabinet , wetblasting
