    If you're gonna do it yourself, cut open the engine harness between the Voltage regulator and the Radiator support wall. Plenty of room in that area to work. Leave the switch alone unless you're gonna pull it apart to clean the contacts. The MSA Harness is MY harness and MSA is a Site Supporter so have at it. The harness is totally Plug and play for all 240Z's and completely reversable, as compared to you hacking up your engine harness to do it yourself. Stock wiring is fine if you're using it for a signal to the new relays. Dave

    This is true. You did bring it back. And if you wanna throw your name on the list, you can have an R/T in your lap for measurements and reference. Just a thought. Dave

    That peice is rarely ever seen. if you paint it, it'll be for your your own personal viewing. It's plastic, so trying to protect it would be pointless. I did the same with mine, brake cleaner, new bolts and some tire dressing to make it look all pretty and such. Dave

    $60, Same as before, IF I can get enough orders. If I can only get about 30 orders then the price will be $65, as I get a price break on 50 as compared to a 30 order. So the more who know about it, the better. So spread the word. Dave (me) 1 S30Driver 1 Chuck496 1 ? Maybe? Brian Laine Z8 10?? Maybe 10 or more? we'll see. Gary in NJ 1 mlc240Z 1 Tbone028 1 NorthernZ 1 Yetterben 1 suzook86 1 So that's either 10 or 20, depending on my silent partner's final decision. Waiting to hear from him before i put a number by his name (something other than a Maybe) Dave __________________

    So it's only a matter of time before we'll have to move this to another thread, but until then........ Here's what we got. Spread the word. Dave (me) 1 S30Driver 1 Chuck496 1 ? Maybe? Brian Laine Z8 10?? Maybe 10 or more? we'll see. Gary in NJ 1

    Now I remember, it's JB WELD. used to repair Blocks, exhaust, metal parts, etc. It's made for tough environments, like heat, fuel, oil, water, etc. By the way, if you replace the front cover, Be carefull when removing the front cover. Pull the oil pan bolts, 2) 10mm on the front head lip and all the others. Razor blade the head gasket away from the front cover so as to not damage it. I Use Ultra Black gasket /seal maker. use a little extra on the upper inner corner where the head, block, and front cover meet. Dave

    But a decent fix would be that Metal 2-part Epoxy (can't remember the name) pushed thru the hole and formed up to the level surface. also smeared around the hole to keep it from coming out either way, like a sandwich effect. Dave

    Try Roostmonkey on www.hybridz.org or save your money and get one of mine when I do the next run................ OK folks, Who wants one? I keep getting requests. So start filling in your name and the one above your post (not me silly) even though I do need 1. I will do a run of at least 25 or 30 if there are enough requests. Dave

    Nice try James, but my adaptor plug only works on 240Z's
  11. Zs-ondabrain
    If that tag isn't there, then what's your VIN?
  12. Zs-ondabrain
    *pseudo* nice try though
  13. Zs-ondabrain
    What he said, or I said, yah something like that
  14. Zs-ondabrain
    It looks like a basic cable throttle with finger linkage between the carbs. They connect to each other just like mine did on My 40 DCOE's. (same as his) You only need to connect that cable to the front carb via top or bottom bracket and you're good to go. Very clean set-up. Wish mine was that nice.

    Typically we don't respond well to the whole "Wanna Race" question. But Me and Tyler will be there on the 18th for the NOS event. Where in WA. are you? Dave

    The Yellow 240Z is 1/18th scale and the 300ZX is 1/24th scale. Definately gonna keep my eye out for those at the local Wal-Mart. At $12 each, I'm in for 3. I'll repaint one to model after my 70'. Then do the Bright Orange to model it after the 260Z build that I hope to finish this year (if the green Z sells) then one to keep "As Is". Dave

    When rebuilding switches for people, I run into this issue more often than not. I don't know why it's mainly the Right side and more often the rear than the front. Use only a dab of Dielectric grease on the area that the ball bearing slides on. If you use a different lube, it'll likely heat up and move onto the contacts, causing them to fail or smoke the grease. The dielectric grease will allow it to continue to work without issues. Glad it worked for ya. Be careful when bending tabs on the switch box, as they don't like to be bent too much or too often. They Will break after repeated bending and then I'll have to sell you another box. Dave

    Sounds like you did it exactly as it should be done. It's always a good selling point, knowing "How the Rust was Taken care of". You removed it, killed it, covered it to prevent future rust. Perfect. Sorry bout the $0.10 cent thing. It was the wrong subject in the wrong thread. Threw ya for a loop though huh? Occasionally, I like to toss a Hand-grenade in the Preverbial Jello.

    I Believe that is correct. It appears to mount the same, and have the same Ebrake bracket and bleeder. So as far as I can tell, the hard line nneds to either be replaced with the correct one, from a later than 6/72 Z or possibly be rebent to accomadate the new cylinder. If I had a later unit, I would be possitive in my info. But just looking tells me it's possible. Dave

    Over heating can be an issue with these cars but most are easily fixed. Flush the cooling system Put in a 180* thermostat Check the Waterpump for flow. I like to use REDLINE Water Wetter during the summer. I can reduce the heat by up to 15 degrees. I also like to park uphill to allow the air in the system to make it's way to the top of the radiator and fill accordingly. This eliminates Hot spots and gives you a solid liquid system. Welcome to the club and good luck with all those cars. Dave

    I had that issue with a different car. We used that "Protective Plastic" that you peel and stick to the front part of a hood and front area. It's clear, adhesive backed and when cut in the 6" or so diameter and stuck to the door panel, it don't look half bad. And it protects the vinyl. Just a thought. Dave
  23. Zs-ondabrain
    The cheaper unit will need different hard lines from the top of the back plate to the cylinder, as they mount differently (one is almost straight in 90* and the early unit is at a 25*? or at least a severe angle in comparison.) Inner drum parts are interchangable ;ie adjuster, rotory wheel, piston, etc. At least to the best of my knowledge it is. You can use the cheaper, later version but you'll need additional parts. Dave

    Well, There's a 1/4 mile shoot-out coming up on the 18th and I'd love to have the triples (Weber 40DCOE's) rebuilt and tuned by then. Then.... Make a few runs on the SU's, then take 40 minutes and swap in the Webers, linkage and timing and make 3 runs on those. Post the results and let the conversation fly. This way, it'll be the same car, same motor, and same driver. I love my new SU's but also love a well tuned set of triples. I can say it will be a non biased test as I'll be happy to just be able to run the quarters, no matter what's under the hood or feeding the motor. We'll see. Dave
  25. Zs-ondabrain
    Not sure if I missed it or read over it, but how did you treat the rust in the rear quarter, hatch and other repaintd areas?? Other than that, I'd agree with Carl and others on the $4500 to $5500 range. Start at $6000, and when they show interest, drop it to $5500 "Just for them" and see how it goes. Just don't post on here That any of the $0.10 parts were "Walked" out of the Junk Yard, or unpaid for, or Enrique will delete the thread. Great Car Mike. Dave
