Jag type E + Ferrari 250GT = Apollo

I love it. Sort of cute and menacing from certain angles.. kind of an ugly beauty sort of like a SAAB 900 or Chevy Nova.

Some thing in one of the passages of ported vacuum that pop out of the throat around the edge of the plate?

SM needles may be too narrow (rich) for a stock 240z.

How about something like this as a starting point for an artist to run with? I think the "C's" make nice wheels.

Nice!

You sure type well with your nose Get better! There is more work to do.

If your head has an internal oiling system (i.e. no oil bar), ensure the cam has the holes and passages for this.

Maybe invert the red and white colours of the logo to make it less like the official flag? or: btw Datsun's red white and blue are nice colours to work with.

Excellent photos and info! Thanks.

Purposefully change your seating position as you go to change the pressure points and muscle groups. Tilting back and sliding on rails are all ya' got but use them every few hours.

I used a dremel to cut off the peened part. You can use 280zx locking nuts when you rebuld. They are "mutilated" in the factory and do not require peening.

Carl, WRT lemon juice, I have read mixed results. I think a crucial part of the process is to use an inert glass or enamel coated container so that pot metal (literally) does not become part of the reaction. It would be interesting to boil two carb domes, one in glass and one in aluminum to see if my hunch is correct...maybe a third in stainless for completeness.

Since you did not adjust or modify any significant parts of the carb or linkage, I assume the problem has to do with inserting the air horns: There is not much that can go wrong except: The aux venturi has a passage for the fuel to flow to the main nozzle. The venturi's fuel passage has to mate correctly with the corresponding hole in the throat of the carb body. To do this correctly the locking mechanism that holds the venturi must be carefully tightened while at the same time ensuring venturi fuel passage alignment. (I believe some carbs use a clip retainer that may not adequately press the fuel passage surfaces together). I recommend that you double check that all is aligned properly.

0. Are the air horns the type that fit around the aux venturi? If so, did you accidentally misalign the aux venturi where the main fuel passage mates? 1. Check fuel level. It should be 25mm down from the shelf where the main jet assembly screws.

I got banned and have absolutely no respect for the admin of that forum. This forum is all you need along with the zcar.com archive posts.

Yes, as long as it is a Cannon made for a Datsun. (i.e. not a Toyota or BMW or Jag triple)

NOW THE BIG ENDING! Go Ham!
