Shipping might be cheaper then you think. I bought a WRX sight unseen and it didn't turn out to well. The shipping was the best part . I put the job out there and there was a bidding war to get my business. Buying a car unseen is really risky. Pay the money to have a neutral go out and look the car over and get a report. It can be as little as 100$ and might save you thousands.

I would think SM's would be pretty close for a stroker. How does the engine do in a heavy load low rpm scenerio- let's say pulling a hill with some moderate throttle in a higher gear?

So what needles do you have? Stock needles might be too small. You could experiment with slightly raising the needles in the piston. If the shoulder is not flush with the groove, you could push it in further or closer to being flush. This might put a smaller part of the needle in the transition zone for more fuel. How do the spark plugs look? When you synched the carbs did you do that at 2500rpm and idle?

Matt, I will be blatantly biased and say go for the early Z. With that budget you should find a decent one------------------go for the best body you can find. The Z is unique because there are so few nice ones out there, but so widely loved; it is crazy the attention the car gets. Probably the easiest one to work on from your list too.

'Running stock coil at 9v'????

The needles should be labeled . You need to pull them off the piston because they are stamped around the head.

Assuming SU's?

I got to admit that I have given up on the classifieds here a while ago. I like the integrated forums approach instead of a separate link. I also got frustrated posting in the classifieds here. I don't mind being forced to donate to Hybridz to sell. I do think it cuts down on the scammers.

What year motor? I would be just as excited about an early e-88!! The cam looks good from here.

Why do you want to fill this area that will be covered by the bumper? I filled mine with FG mat and then smoothed with bondo. But I have no bumper:)

Sounds great and Welcome to the club!!

The body is the biggest $$$$ cost and slowest for repair-everything else is easier and cheaper. Too little info to say anything else

If my son goes back there for Nationals at Irvine - I will take you up on that offer. I noticed that the smaller main air jet richens the final WOT mixture

Those jumps in jetting sizes are too big. I found with my NA that a full 1.0 add was worth over a point on the AFR's. You might get it with the 155's. Man I should would like to ride in that 'monster'!! Don't forget to calibrate your O2 sensor often. You don't have much room for error.

So am I reading this correct and between the battery change and tapping the injector fixed the issue? You do know that an injector is basically a small selonoid(I always question this spelling). They can stick just like they do on your starter. They can also not want to engage-just like your starter from insufficient batter voltage.It's funny how many cars I have got started with a hammer- The voltage your alternator is putting out helps maintain your battery which is the main source for your electronics. Like I said-you will really enjoy 6 cylinders;)

1974 Datsun 260z Says it's a 2+2 but doesn't look like it

Got to be an injector issue. Boy you will like your car when you have all 6 cylinders running- . You need to correct hour charging/battery issue Asap. Low voltages can lead to ECU or other electronic problems

Hopefully bigger then the 40th convoy was! We might have to plan this out men.

Sweet- somewhere close enough for us Midwest boys!!!!

Pictures to describe how it doesn't line up?

Really nothing special huh? You would be hard pressed to recreate that car for less then 50k. Assuming the resto is at show quality level( disregarding the performance mods), you could spend 40k. It might not be to everyone's personal taste, but that level of resto mod is a heavy investment. I'd love to see it draw big money for all our sakes!!

Chris, That's very close to my Vin# also built in 9/71 Kind of a transition period in some of the first gen cars. What's so scary about dog legs when the whole floor is gone-

Not long enough

We were suprised by the police . I think they were watching us from leaving the event. In indiana the police can't pull you over for rear passenger violation- but you can be ticketed for it if there was another reason for being pulled over. It s a 22$ fine per kid since they are all over 16. But if they were little kids-430$

My son wants to stay for nationals - which is next week. I don't have that kind of vacation left. I'm aware of Zcon which is killing me. One week sooner would have been perfection
