Yup that is it. Part Number MRC HB1175. Interesting what NAPA Online has for parts. More than I imagined! https://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?A=MRCHB1175_0323256997&An=599001+101975+50018+2018014

Sea Foam is Pale Oil (Machine shop cutting oil) ~ 50% Naptha (coleman stove fuel) ~30% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) ~20% Make it yourself. You can also throw harsh solvents into the cylinders with the oil drain off and plugs out to get the pistons clean. Let it sit/drain through the bottom of the pan past the rings. After a while suck out the remainder in the cylinders through the spark plug holes and maybe chase with a light oil or atf. Change motor oil in car and enjoy.

I reluctantly will refer you to this due to the great Tony D's posts ( FYI I detest that site and their administration's "ways"): http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/68381-lash-pad-source/

Thanks Diseazd! I'll probably get the new stuff. Just had to scram back to NJ for work. Car is 1000mi away.

2 questions: 1. How did you get the zinc plating to look so golden and shiny? 2. How can this post be converted to an "article"?

I am sorry I have the mounting point and clip point of the shoulder strap reversed.
Here are mounting details:

Here is a set on ebay: Jan 1970: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240z-Seat-Belts-Black-Complete-NICE-RARE-/220793096778?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item33684b4a4a#ht_500wt_1182
Yeah I am pretty sure it is the throttle vane switch (aka TPS) and it is easy to resolve. Check here and follow calibration procedure and you should be good to go. The problem is that when this switch sticks in the idle position, the computer goes into coast-down mode when the revs are above 3000rpm and cuts off fuel until revs go below 3000. It is probably the world's first rev limiter albeit by accident. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/tps/index.html
You can push it more than 10 but watch for detonation when hot or when on hills under load. You should check total advance at 3000 rpm too. ~ 30-35degrees is what most run stock.
Here is a Feb 1970 240z (photos not great but they may help):
thanks all! John that would be great for the pierce-loving civic dudes that and a tow ring.. bling bling Willoughby Z great link! much thanks Fastenal has 'em http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0987689&ucst=t
A mod for better aerodynamics and cooling is to box in the front of the radiator to the grill; top, bottom and sides if you really want to seal things up
71 filter that has not been started for a long time. Acidic engine fumes and sludge coupled with water vapor has taken its toll. Beside it is a dirty oily filter from a '79 zx motor that will replace it. A wire with solder blobs maintains the shape of the folded filter. If refreshing I think stainless steel mesh would be a good alternative than the plain steel mesh.
Cleaned up filter area. It was filled with disintegrated/rotted filter and oil. Used Ospho acid, scrubbing and soapy rinse followed by ATF wipe. Filter soaked in solvent, blasted with brake cleaner then oiled and installed. Any hardware and threaded holes in the engine should be chased before installing. Loctite any hardware that can come loose and press down firmly on screwdriver when fastening. Done!
I finally took photos. Here they are for completeness: keywords: 240z 260z 280z L24 L26 L28 pcv baffle plate ventilation engine breather filter acid emission
According to the 71 wiring diagram, there is a black and yellow wire that runs from the ignition to the starter solenoid. This wire's terminal should be cleaned at the solenoid too.
Also, here is a tech tip on connector cleaning for a 77 EFI. Some of it is applicable to 71 http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electricalconnections/index.html
