Yeah, I'd have let you because the roads were dry and straight, and I'd have been in the car too. Chris

Well, I'm glad you're OK. I wanted to be upset with you for putting it in a ditch but its your car now. I was 17 once. Thank god. Chris

Wow, anti-lock brakes on a 83 ZX, never heard of that "Option" before. Thought I knew a thing or two about Z cars. Chris

Thanks again Remy. I'll get you the money order ASAP. Chris

I hear you Will, my son is really coming into his own in the stink department! Last two nights he's dropped double pant loads between 5:00 and 9:00. WHOA NELLY!! Chris

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I've PM'd and emailed him, so hopefully we'll complete this deal. Ben, you are the inspiration for me getting the clock. When I saw the thread you did awhile back, I was hooked. It is a beautiful thing to look at I will agree. Chris

I'll see if I can make that happen for you Will. Chris

Hey Will sorry if you were considering that clock. Regarding the fart......(typo?)...... !! Chris

I bought it. Hope it works as well as it looks. Chris

And those bubbles, commonly called vapor bubbles implode against whatever surface the coolant is touching. They implode with a high velocity jet of coolant which removes material from the surface with a pressure that can excede 15,000 psi. The phenomenon is referred to as pitting in the industry. Cavitation/pitting can destroy a water pump in as little as 30,000 miles. FWIW, Chris

Tried that. The fiche doesnt list "model" numbers after the 8-71 date. At least my copy of the fiche doesnt. And its the CD sold here at the site. Chris

Bill, I think the grease is for the contact between the rod in the booster and the piston in the M/C. You want a grease that wont attack rubber. Just wipe out any large particles before you attach the M/C. I use Lubriplate #105 Motor assembly grease. Its anti-wear, anti-seize and excellent for hinges, locks and latches. Chris

I can only assume this but, in my 71 FSM, on the page where it showed the two different types, it mentioned something about the US and Canada. Maybe that is the difference. I recall reading somewhere that the Canadian cars had less parts on the intake system than the US cars. Maybe that difference called for different carbs. Mystery to me. I would have to believe that the 3 screw carb has a different number than the 4 screw carb. And the ones that have the water heating would certainly be different. My 72 had water heated carbs versus my 71's being non heated. Chris

My 71 FSM showed either the downdraft carb for the L20A/L24 and the twin "SU type" carb for the L24. I thought it interesting that my copy of the 71 FSM showed two different numbers for twin carbs on the same page in different pictures(page EF-17 for those following along). It shows HJG46W in the first picture and HJL46W in the second picture. Maybe the HJL46W carbs are for cars made after 8 of 71. Tech specs on the 71 twins are: Bore=46mm Weight=6.834lbs(3.1kg) Venturi=34mm Fuel Pressure=3.414 lb/sq in Needle valve diameter=2.0mm Nozzle A Jet Needle N-27 Suction Spring #23 And for some useless info: The single carb was listed as a DAF342-6A on the G130 model cars. And a DAF342-8A or DAF342-9A for the H130 and HA30 model cars. I thought maybe the 73 FSM would show numbers for carbs before Nissan went to the flat tops but it didnt list any but the number you already stated. "HMB46W-1". I went through the whole fuel section in the 71 & 73 FSM and that's all it showed. Hope it helps you some. Chris

Ditto. Chris P.S. Michael, I have a 71 and 73 FSM at home, I will look for part numbers and post them tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.

Michael, I can only help you with numbers for the carbs below. HJG46W-3A Manual Tranny up to 8-71 HJG46W-4 Auto Tranny 8-70 to 8-71 The microfiche doesnt list model numbers for the others after 8-71. FWIW, Chris
