20mm down from bowl edge is fine (this is 23mm down from inside ceiling of fuel bowl as referenced in the service manual). 28mm is too low. Both levels should be the same as a starting point.

A stock 1970 with original parts in excellent shape (original or restored) is valued >$50k these days..... modify with care. Values are going up!

Crack in head that opens due to exhaust heat?

btw what is your VIN? I have a dash and many parts from a Z with Vin ~ 350

Jan 1971 Two sections of the rear harness pass through the floor near the rear right tail light 1. Front pass through contains fuel sender wires (blk & Yel along with fuel pump blk & Grn) 2. Rear pass through contains rear ground wires (two black wires from harness crimped to one connector) Here is the front pass through with fuel sender and optional fuel pump wires. Here is the ground wire connection (2 wires crimped to O ring connector) Here is refreshed ground connector extended from the broken part above. It is connected to frame near fuel tank. (The black is sprayed corrosion protection.) Here is sender and fuel pump connectors routing:

Cap seems to be problem:

There is a hole under the antenna area for a water drain. Often the drain hose separates leaving a hole between the interior and muffler area.

You may also consider an oil change and magnet sweep.

I think the light colour went at least into 1972 models. Here are two examples:

Upper left "Natural" looks like factory.

It still looks beautiful! Great work!

Very cool. (and unique) Looks like a RHD to LHD conversion happened? If so,could you take some pics of the engine compartment and firewall? It would be great to see what was done!

OK, if you have crank and spark but no injectors then the problem is in the ECU or wiring to/from ECU.

With respect to the early Red Z in the first FSM. Some of the unique parts were photographed and documented. Here is that fuel return part that was first on the fuel bowl then moved to the rail. I wonder if the design and/or part was taken from the twin SU roadster or 510 SS? The different fuel pump routing is also captured in the FSM:

The Phoenix Thread! I love it!

That shift knob looks like it will go to the correct light straw colour with a clear coat or slight tint.

Hi @kats & @Carl Beck, I do think the red car is HLS30-00003. Here are two interesting images from the first FSM with the red car. Do you see a number written in two locations? ?

Don't feel special: https://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/54044-123-distributor-catastrophic-rotor-failure/

It seems the darker reddish-brown colour is from material aging (UV, hand oil/dirt). All early pictures I have seen indicate a light straw coloured wheel.

I'd like to see if you can get that light straw colour back... may be a light paint?

Sorry about it destroying your exhaust and piston! Could be fake distributor caps that got into the supply chain as you both had the same failure of a robust part that is ubiquitous and easily well made. Thanks for the warning... if the electronics go, I imagine something similar will happen. I would worry cheap/fake Chinese electronic components exposed to all the heat will fail fast just like in Korean cars with Chinese electrics.
