    Been away for a minute guys. Thanks for the good info Dave WM. The engine is free and was able to turn over. The gas tank was empty so hopefully this helped with rust issues.(it evaporated or that’s why I couldn’t get it to start a few years back lol) ordered a bunch of stuff from z store and a pair of round top carbs from z therapy. Going to check all brake and fuel lines and replace shoes, pads and bushings and ball joints on front end. Took a few pics and going to get done what I can in my free time. thanks again all

    Thanks for the info guys. I bought the car around 12 years ago and drove it for a couple years. Have loved these cars since I first saw them. Moved around a bit and let it sit without starting it and then wouldn’t start. Was able to keep it in a garage the whole time and finally have a decent garage of my own to bring it to. Had to work rear passenger wheel with a small mallet and breaker bar to free it and get her to roll. I believe the engine is good but will take the precautions mentioned above. Thanks again siteunseen, zedhead and socal. I’m not too tech savvy but will learn how to navigate this forum. Will post some pics. Interior is pretty solid and odometer is around 56k, not sure if that’s gone around a spin or not but I’ve put very few miles on

    Hello everyone, i recently brought home my 260z( on a trailer) and am ready to try and get her running again. Car has sat for 10 years and has the original flat tops with everything else stock. The plan is to do the following: order a pair of SU’s from z therapy, new plugs and wires, battery etc. I was planning on keeping the existing balance tube as I’m not concerned with how things will look, but would like to know if this will function the same as a 240 tube if things are plugged up properly? Also z therapy offers a conversion plate that would allow me to use the 260 air cleaner and I wonder if anyone has had luck with this. If anyone has suggestions/recommendations on these parts before I start purchasing would greatly appreciate. I am definitely not a mechanic but want to learn and do as much as I can. I will have the help of someone who knows a lot more than me. thanks in advance, this forum rocks!
