NH-75-Z

I'd recommend removing it. I took mine off 2 yrs ago, no problems at all. Starts at 24 degrees just like it was summer.

The injectors are flow tested when received by them...with printed results....and then retested after rebuild....with the printed comparison . The running results were noticable....much better response and performance...well worth the $$ . I got them returned with the 2" of new hose already attached which made connection to MY JSK fuel rail that much eaiser.

Think about the interface....where does fuel and oil meet in the L28 . Answer, is only in the cylinder. Fuel on top, oil on bottom. For the two to mix means a short circuit...and the only interface is the piston rings. So, if a cylinder is not firing due to poor ignition, its raw fuel is staying in the cylinder, bypassing the rings somehow, then diluting the oil below. I don't see any connection to bearings, nor head gaskets.' However, with 2,000 miles on new rings, they should have seated OK by now. Which leads to the question about fuel in the oil? Is it just by smell? The only direct interface via gasket is the coolant/oil in the front cover. Just my 2 cents...good luck. Just read your post about Witch Hunter after I posted and I highly recommend. He rebuilt my injectors and they work great

Since the 240 has only "pieces" of carpet...all can be removed....unlike the 280 that has it over the tunnel,etc. So I took the pieces...put them in the doggie pool out back...and washed them in Tide with Downy Fabric softner. Came out great !!! Just like new. And they smell Fresh !! Interior vinyl washed down with vinyl cleaner and Armoralled. Replace the torn seat covers and the interior looks like new !!

Thanks again all....I got it free. Lots of Pent. Oil squirted in thru the access hole that is plugged with that rubber plug, tension put across 2 studs, and hammered around the drum circumfrence with 2 pound hammer. Interior surface clearly showed footprint of brake pads..then just turned adjuster nut back and hub slipped back on.

Thanks guys...today was the 1st chance to get into it...made some good progress with just 409 and window cleaner. I use fabreze all the time ( cause I have 2 dogs ) I'm just amazed at the conditon of this garaged car...everything is there and just like new...even the fussy strip on the windows...just like new. Matting under the carpet perfect ( but smelly )...not even a rust bubble on the floor.

In a recently aquired 72-280...that had been garaged for 20 years !!!!!......I have a severe mildew odor and residue on all of the interior. Seats will probably be removed and replaced...but carpet and interior vinyl is in great shape...just smells. Any tips for cleaning/deodorizing would be appreciated.

I just aquired a 72-240 that has been garaged for 20 yrs ! Great body/chassie condition..no rust, all stock, all there. However, the right rear wheel will not turn. I disconnected the E brake cable, and attempted to remove the drum. No luck. Severe attempts to remove the drum, still no budge. Left side rear wheel turns OK. So, is it really a stuck brake issue in the drum or possible half shaft/diffy or wheel bearing stuck ?? I even put a 6 foot bar across 2 studs for leverage and still no movement. :disappoin

I've been battling a smoking exhaust during decelertation mode on my 75-280 since aquiring it last year. Have rebuilt engine and have concluded that its not oil smoke ,at least not anymore. Cracked rings and head rebuild has eliminated all oil consumption, and engine runs great. However, still blowing smoke on decel mode, throttle closed conditions. Thus, due to black soot, and eye burning odor, must be too rich. #4 plug is more black fouled than others, so that injector may be stuck open....and looking at AFM, the PO has apparently been fiddlin with the idle bypass F/A mixture screw, cause when I opened it slightly CCW, the decel smoke lessened.Has new engine temp sensor. How much can I open it ( to add air ) during decel mode to compensate till I get all injectors rebuilt ( durning winter downtime ) . don't have a O2 meter. Have the info on adjusting the basic componants of AFM, but they are silent on idle bypass , other than to say its factory set.

The fuel injectors are paired with a resistor banks, 1-4 go to one pack of resistors, and 5 & 6 operate off the other one. These are silver units located behind the windshield washer bottle. Check harness for loose connection there. Running on only some of the injectors surely will be rough. Our club "tech guy" recommends sending injectors to www:witchhunter.com and address to Gordon .
