Radiator leak
tried several ebay/internet rads for my crx and was very disappointed , ended up going to a local shop and was much cheaper and worked better, only bought one rad that worked great from ebay and it was an old stock msa 4 core, unless you are sure of what you are getting buy from a local , easier to strangle too when its not fixed right :rambo:

What are my odds?
I am sure is trans am could do a 10 sec quarter mile < maybe being dropped off a 1/4 mile high cliff > , I agree with the hp issue anyone can take a car add the gas make it faster big deal , depending on his motor < size and such > if you had a properly built 2.8 or stroker motor I would bet on your side easily , I remember a long time ago I whipped up on a 911 sc in my 240z < cam and exhaust and other minor stuff > but still was very embarrasing for him , if he is so sure of his car have him bring you time slips from the track , give you an ideal of where he really is , good luck

260Z exhaust manifold question
depends on where the leak was I was gonna try and use vice grips and clamp it down and fold it back but my leak was at the base of some of the tubes

Side marker bulbs
I just put in a new / used fuse box from ebay wow what a diffrence everything is bright and works , only two things on the car that don't are the front passenger fender running light and the drivers rear back corner side running light . These are the side markers that are screwed in and have a lens and then a chrome piece and then the black rubber gromet. The ones that are not working on mine are very rusty and I was wondering how do the bulds come out? A twist type or a push in and twist or just a push in type < that sounded weird > . I have sprayed some cleaner on it to try and free up the bulb but still quite stuck and suggestions before I damage the marker?

260Z exhaust manifold question
if there are tiny pipes coming up from the exhaust manifold area as I understand correctly , then yes those are emissions, they wouldn't shoot flames out but just sound like a bad exhaust leak , there are probably numerous threads on removing the emissions depends on where you live and the rules for older cars will dictate weither you can , getting a replacement exhaust manifold is very hard and if I were you i would replace it with a header <if you can> , if you look at my gallery the motor shown is a l24 but with the 260 n36 intake so it shows it without any emissions, if you have the flat top carbs you might have issues . good luck

Clymer 240/260 handbook
hhm taking your advice

How do you install headers? Underneath or remove intake?
All good advice said but like Daniel I agree that I would be worried someone would break off bolts then tell you later and not really give a crap , I think the money saved the expierence of it < which in a sadistickinda way is fun > and just knowing you did it would make it worth for you to do it yourself , I actually just did the exact same thing but i stripped my motor to just block and head and rebuilt from there , Good luck

How do i get the freaking distributor off?
hhm I would tap lightly on it side with a rubber mallet or hammer , it sounds just like its stuck with normal engine dirt , but I would be very careful not to hit it hard at all, also spray some gumout or wd40 down at the base , good luck

How old were you?
hhmm hookers don't count? damn well I guess last year just kidding , actually was in a datsun my first time a 510 hatchback the flame orange color was my dads , and then my 2nd car which was a red 240 72 it was repeated broken in , gotta say the hood / fender is such a great height
