I can find 4 people nearby easily who could set up triple Webers for me. That's the advantage of living in God's Country.

It doesn't seem so weird to me that the problem is happening at higher RPM. It's likely a combination of the amount of current and frequency of the pulses. Splitting the circuit as Zed suggested may not be enough. It may also require a small resistance in the tach side of the split. If I were to test, I would start with having a potentiometer in the tach side to see how much resistance is needed and replace the potentiometer with a fixed resistor of the value in the test. ZKars does have a point about adapting the tach. It may be easiest to use a 260Z/280Z tach and the faceplate from the 240Z. Either way will require some wiring mods, though.

That's impressive getting the award seeing that there's a 2000GT parked next to you. You faced some stiff competition there.

He was living in Brunswick, GA. My friend was hoping to get him up here for the Mitty and maybe even ZCON. My friend received a few red BRE polo shirts from Pete Brock for the Mitty. I told him that his team has to wear the white jeans, too.

I saw on Facebook that Mac Tilton founder of Tilton Engineering and former engineer for BRE passed away on Saturday. Not being as well versed in Datsun history, I only learned a couple of years ago about Mike's role in BRE after I made friends with a BRE fanatic. This just compounds the loss of John Knepp last year. I'm glad I get to go to the Mitty and to ZCON this year so I can meet some of the old time Datsun greats. I hope you guys on the west coast pack the Monterey Historics for the same reason.

What year is your Z? Assuming it was imported from America to you, is it a Federal or California car? California had stricter emissions standards in the late 70s.

Reach out to the Connecticut Z Car Club (http://www.ctzcc.com/ and http://forums.ctzcc.com/). There's probably someone in that club that can put you in the right direction.

I forgot to mention that it will be sporting some new tires, too.

It looks like I'll be parking my car at the BF Goodrich tent in Vendor Village.

Randy Jaffe also gave us an update at the GZC meeting on Thursday. The Amelia Island winning GTP car will be at the Mitty along with some other Heritage Collection cars. There will be a Nissan/Datsun touring lap session among other things. We are going to have a special weekend.

More news from GRM on Mitty events: Adam Carolla is bringing his Bob Sharp 610 to race at the Mitty along with BRE Roadster to display. We are having the Classic Motorsports Saturday night party in our tent starting with John Morton autograph session at 6:30 pm and free beer from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. We will also be showing some old Nissan/Datsun race footage Racing Against All Odds along with the Paul Newman documentary with Adam Carolla and John Morton doing some commentary.

For people coming to the Mitty, here's the layout for the car corrals.

I suppose I have to since I was foolish enough to volunteer for the organizing committee.

ZNationals will be part of ZCON this year. Instead of two days, there will be 5 days of events. http://www.zcon.org

Isocyanates are very common for coating military aircraft. @Namerowis correct about having either a powered air purifying respirator or some other supplied air respirator, and you have to make sure the air is being drawn from an area where the paint vapors will not contaminate. I became quite familiar with this from trying to protect people's health in the Air Force. A couple of years back I was talking with a fellow club member, and I found out that he was in the Air Force and had been responsible for painting aircraft. He said how they didn't bother with the proper protection because it took too long. He also happened to mention that he became sensitized to isocyanates, so he can't be around them anymore. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of material safety data sheets are written more to satisfy lawyers than to advise users. On the other hand, chemicals that cause respirator sensitization (and anaphylatic shock) will always cause me to be cautious.

I think this would appeal to both you and the Captain. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/flexible-led-strip-lights/led-strip-lights-12v-led-tape-light-with-lc2-connector-114-lumens-per-ft/1464/#/tab/Photos&Videos. This seems to be not as bright.

She'd be too late. Wendy would take me out for buying it well before Janet would have a chance.

Seen on FB and found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Auto-Art-Carburetor-Advanced-Pepper/dp/B0091OI1MK

That video reminds me some of when I would see Eiji testing his car on Prince William Parkway on the weekends.

SWMBO limits me to 2 cars. Of course, that means the 3rd bay on the garage is filled with tools and car parts.

If it is a CL scam, at least the person isn't posting the same image on a bunch of CL sites. The Google image search couldn't find it anywhere else.

Well my brother said that if he tried to take it on as a project, it would lead to his early demise at the hands of his wife.

I texted the link to my brother and nephew. They are coming out for The Mitty next month. It would be a hoot if they could bring a Z. My brother lives about 7 miles from the seller.

This will take some thinking and pointing. Maybe if I can remember to look this weekend...

If the car started its life as an automatic (or is still currently an automatic), it would have the circuitry for an inhibitor switch.
