A couple of things. I "fixed" whatever the problem was. I guess the fuel filter just doesn't fill up all the way when the car is on. However there was still the matter of the large bubbles that were forming and the loss of pressure when I shut the engine off. I opened up the fuel pump and everything looked fine untill I looked at the rocker arm. There was about a quarter of an inched of crud between the rocker arm and the hing. After this was removed the pump worked fine and the low idle bubbles disappeared. Over all I'm very happy. Thanks guys.

I'll take a look. How can I fix that? Would I need to replace the whole pump?

Hi all. I'm trying to tune my carbs and it appears that when ever my engine idles low (about 1200) large bubbles form in the fuel filter. When I shut the engine off the fuel filter loses all prime and the gasoline drains out. Needless to say it is tough to start with a huge pocket of air in the lines and the idle dies around 1100. I replaced the lines about a month ago, cleaned out the gas tank and replaced the filter. Does anybody know what is causing the problem?

Thanks a ton Mbrandy. I agree with Victor though, we need your reference pictures. If the admin used a different picture uploader, it could automatically resize your 4 megapix pictures. Food for thought.

Right now I'm trying to finish the interior of my Z. However, the center heater control panel has unsightly paint flakes and obvoius wear. I need to remove it to either replace it, or paint it. I removed the four screws on the corners and the map light, but it still won't come out. It feels like there are some steel lines going back from the vent controls. What do I need to do to get the panel out?

1st post, Yeah me! I'm restoring my 240 and bought about four hundred in stereo equipment, including a 400 watt amp that lights up. I got ready to put everything in really conspicious places (ie. the amp in the middle of the cargo bay). Then I realized that even a chimp could break into my car. So now its time to start hiding stuff. Luckily the space behind the seats is a perfect place for an amp and the tail cover hides speakers quite nicely.
