I thought the stock radiator was a 2 row system. Has yours been replaced at one time. I went to the Hart’s radiator site. Looks impressive. These type of shops along with machine shops are fading away.

Please post the photos in the Classified section.

No need for a tube bender if you’re not set on authenticity. Install a couple of flex lines.

Might be over thinking the washer situation a bit. Do the install and snug them down. I realize you’re dealing with aluminum casings on the carbs. Someone might have a better idea. Using a torque wrench on aluminum scares me a bit. Keep in mind you should be dealing with only 5lbs of pressure.

I think you will find that the diaphragm is cracked. Take a pistol grip vacuum tool and test it. $20 dollar investment. Another option is 123 distributors or a Chinese distributor off eBay.

Have you tested the vacuum advance? The FSM has a test for it. Chances are with the age of these cars the diaphragm is probably leaking.

I think to start with multiple pics of your engine bay for every component in question. My first instinct is you mentioned a ProTuner fuel rail. Would like to see how you have that installed. FPR etc. and how the return line is piped. My two cents

If his cylinders are dry I believe he’s got a fuel delivery problem. I’d start by routing a injector line to a bottle and check for fuel delivery.

So every plug is dry? No fuel reaching the cylinders?

Curious what the reasoning was?

Putting an exhaust system on without a lift is a bit sketchy especially with the layout you’re dealing with. Not being able to look at different angles and see clearly it’s definitely difficult.

Vey fortunate, Only an hour away.

I recently bought a few items from Jenny. Interior parts, hatch glass etc. Here’s a pic of the vents I bought from her. Amazing condition. Easy to work with and always ready to help.

That rear diff is hit or miss until you get under it. Cars sit differently in my opinion. Personally I would not weld anything that may require removal in the future.

Awesome!!!

Those vent caps are still available at Nissan. If you destroyed yours you might want to order another replacement. They are a press fit.

Contact Sean@ ZStory if you’re looking for a high end setup. Still need to have them sent to Jet Hot coatings to have them coated inside & out.

Call Jenny and see what She might have.

Those holes will definitely grow in time. Personally, It’s a band aid. IMHO

@Terrapin Z

I did see those. Thanks

Thanks Friend, By chance and I mean by chance do you possibly have a set of 240Z wiper arms? My 280 Restomod by all means looks like a 240Z and that’s one of the Holy Grail Items I’ve been looking for. I have a couple arms here I’ve bought over time but just can’t find a matching set. Would be glad to give you the p/n’s I have that are NOS and extremely ashamed of what I paid the gentleman. Stay in touch and I’m hoping you’re enjoying retirement. Definitely done a lot for the Z community. Thanks friend John

How did you find it?
