Thanks for the funny one. I had to pass it on.

Hi, For my '70 240Z... I used an impact to remove the bolt that holds on the AC & Crank pulley. I'm assuming I use the impact wrench to put it back on too. Am I correct? I just don't want to damage anything. :nervous: Thanks, Steve

I like those Volvos too... Not in any order: 240Z :cheeky: Shelby GT350 '65 - '68 Shelby Corbra 289 & 427 '60's Mini Scion xB Miata Datsun Roadster Metropolitan Pantera Karman Ghia I'm sure there's more but I've got to get back to work. :cross-eye

I concur... this is a great site. The folks here are very generous with their knowledge. I’m always asking a bonehead question and no one’s make fun of me. Well not yet anyway. :stupid:

That's why I don't watch that show... it's sooo wastefull. It made me sick to see them chop a pristine '70 ish El Camino 396SS and make a flat track racer out of it. WHY!!!?

My dad kept my '75 Yamaha DT 125 in storage all these years. He brought it down to me about 1-1/2 years ago along with the '70 240Z he had in storage. Well, the Yamaha wasn't running and so I gave it to my then 16 year old son. The boy got it running before I got the Z running. We live in a perfect area for an enduro motorcycle and every once in a while I'll take it for a spin in the desert. It's a lot of fun and brings back some great memories.

Did you try those web sites that have lists of goverment vehicles for auction? We have an large military base here in Albuquerque that I checked on about a year ago. They had lots of trucks for sale but I don't remember any humvees. Just my 2 cents... I go off road fairly often and Hummers / Humvees are too wide for the trails. Even my 4x4 Dakota is too large sometimes. You could buy a Jeep Wrangler or CJ and out fit with all the goodies; lockers front and rear, lift kit, big tires, body armour, winch... and it would be better on the trails than a Hummer for a lot less money. But I do admit, Hummers are cool.

Is there a guide on the crank pulley that insures that you get it back on in the correct position so the timing marks are still valid?

My '70 Z had dealer installed AC. There's an extra pully mounted on the crank in front of the regular pully(s). I removed the two small bolts that were there and put a gear puller on it. Can I just crank on the gear puller now and pull it off? Is seems to have more resistance than I expected. Thanks

I know this is off subject, that's why I'm posting it here. I'm hoping someone can help as I know many of you are good mechanics. My commuter car is a '85 Camry with 213,000 miles. It has fuel injection. It idles fine but won't run when I give it gas. I've replaced the distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs, vacuum advance, and fuel filter. Any suggestions other than get another car, which I plan on doing but am saving up until next spring. Thanks

Thanks Mike. Just wondering. The list is my favorite means of communation and source of information. I look forward to it coming back in due time.

Is the 240z.org email list active? I haven't seen anything come through on my email for a long, long time.

Very funny! I'm going to pass this along.

I haven't received any email on the 240Z.org email list for the last few days. Also, I posted a couple of questions but they didn't seem to go through. Is there something wrong with the list, or maybe the problem is on my end?

For a 1970 240Z... What are the size of the bolts that attach the water pump to the block? I believe that there are 5 bolts and 3 different sizes. Thanks, Steve

Oh well, I'm not too worried about the hub caps for now. Eventually I may replace them, but the ones I have are OK. I bet the original ones fell off the car and the PO went to the Datsun dealer and that's what they had in stock. I like the rims that are on your car; maybe I'll save up for a set of those. The car has other little issues that need attention now, new brake hoses, water pump that leaks, a fuse that keeps blowing....:cross-eye

Well, if that's so, then my car doesn't have the original hub caps. It was built in July 1970 and has the "Z" caps.

My '70 240 has hubcaps with a "Z" in the center. I notice that some Z-car hubcaps have a "D". Is there info with regards to what years have what caps? Thanks, Steve

So, that color is "920 Gold". That's my favorite Z color but I didn't know what to call it. Wow, very nice car.
