thanks Chris, I was trying to find that post. I've bought stuff from Matman before but couldn't remember his name.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction for an intake manifold for my SU's.I've been polishing out this set but the casting is so poor that it won't clean up. It seems that the earlier castings like the 46 are worse then an e-88 casting.I thought there was a guy named Matt who had several sets he was selling. Any help would be appreciated.

Just curious walter, where are you in Indy. I live over in Avon. Looks like you have almost as much to do as I do. Atleast my 71 was a CA car and is pretty much rust free. I would unwrap those pieces and proudly hang'em high in your garage. the "Don't throw down" is great

Now i threw my jealousy fit I wanted to know how clearance was for brakes.Are you running stock brakes? If so ,is there room for bigger stuff?

I am so stinkin jealous of your wheels. I've been eye balling those on e-bay for months, that guy has sold a bunch of them. He says he has a limited amount so by the time i have money they'll be gone:mad: He sells red centers and black( the ones i want) Damn I wish i had the money. By the way congrats-they look great!!!!

Sorry Frank if I put you on the spot but I was reading my sportZ mag and there is Frank from Avon Indiana. Anyway frank if you visit these forums send your neighbor a PM. It would be nice to know another Z owner in town. steve

I've got one but I don't have the base. I bought a brand new dizzy off of ebay but had no base so I bought A used one to steal the base off of. I'd love to trade you but you need the base from that year: atleast I don't know a way to make the 240 base work???

I'd Like to hear anymore info anyone has on the indy dealership cruise. I really need to be around some first generation cars so I can remember what my car looks like together in the flesh(or metal). I guess we are talking about the dealerships in the city of indy??. Is anyone an active indy-z car club member and how many members are there. I'm going to need some help when I start putting this car back together:stupid:

Sorry for the double post. not awake yet. originalparts@hotmail.com is how you can contact this guy in N.y.

I'm awake-kinda- but I am waiting for dry warm weather to hit the junk yards. Right now I am dealing with a guy in up state N.Y. for parts. Poor guy doesn't have a garage and is pulling parts in the snow, but he has been great to deal with. Is that a 2+2 jagnew3 because this guy has a 77 that he is parting out. He seems straight up trying to make some extra money. I already got the moustache bar and seatbelts from the car, it supposedly has a great interior. I'm going to be on the hunt for a 3.9 rear as soon as the weather breaks.

Only lived here for 4 years, came up here to drive trains out of Avon. I live just off of dan jones road. Don't know if rockville rd can handle another business.Good luck with the 280z, I'm just getting started and will never be finished you know!

Hey guys, I'm also from indy, actually Avon, just south of IRP. Walter i also have a 71 that I've had for 14 years and now I'm doing a complete overhaul. It is also in pieces but won't be running anytime soon. Do either of you guys belong to the indyz club. Their web page hasn't changed for a while, don't know if they are still around, I need to join.

worked for me Sounds awesome. Keep the inspiring vids coming, I need the motivation

I meant to say the throttle return springs

I've been looking at my M.S.A. catalog and can't seem to find return spring for my SU's. Does any one know where to get new ones. I tried searching but didn't come up with anything.

Isn't it great when an investment pays off, it kinda takes the sting out of the wallet. Congrats and keep us posted, EFI is the way to go if it can be done.

So who did all the polishing on the motor? Your intakes took SOMEONE a very long time to do, and I am speaking from experience. If you didn't do them can I ask how much you paid someone else to do them? I am putting a set on ebay soon and wonder what I will get for all my effort. steve

Does anyone have any evidence that shows there is a difference in performance between the different intakes. i.e. e-88, n-33,n-36. I have searched and there seems to be very little on this. I have a choice between the e-88 and a 36 , and looking at them I cannot see a difference. I've read that the latter year flowed better to make up for weaker carbs but I haven't seen anyone verify this. Even if it is 10 hp like rumored, that's easy hp to just bolt a different intake on. I appreciate any wisdom on this steve

Zsaint, when you polished out your intake and balance tube did you clear coat them?I am looking into a powder coat clear. I am going to see how much it dulls the finish. I would live with a dullness for not having to re-polish the intake. Also, did you do the plating or have it done somewhere? By the way , everything looks fantastic. I hope mine turns out that good steve

I have a bead blasting cabinet with a 5hp 60 gallon tank. I have to take breaks about every few minutes to let it catch up. If you want 90 psi for long durations you will need atleast 12cfm at 90 psi ,so it will need to a big compressor. But it all depends how much you use it.For the hobbyist I would get atleast a 5hp motor? IMHP

Kenny, why wouldn't I weld them shut to clean up the balance tube, I am polishing that and the intake? And 26th-z, How would I get a hold of the END hose that went on the e-41 tube.And what did you mean by this " It should also be noted that the hose fitting that screws into the manifold is machined for a restricted oriface."

Hope someone can help me with this. I am cleaning up the balance tube and welding close the unneccessary vacuum ports. I should only need 2, correct?One for the pcv and one for the vacuum booster. I have seen the some where the booster line came off the end of tube, I wonder how they came up with the hose for that or was it just trial and error to find one? If anyone can think of any other vacuum requirements please chime in.
