  1. He was also a great Rotte Race Team Manager.
  2. Attn Collectors: First year turbo look great in the ad <$7k http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/4880819480.html
  3. It is a sad day. Prayers to Mr. K.
  4. It looks great! You may wish to consider thicker wires so that two-colour wires can be seen at further zoomed-out views. Thicker wires may also help in reading printed versions too! It is s nice to see the schematic!! BIG THANKS!
  5. Here are some w/o the heater: http://woodworkerb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Wiring-Diagram-HiRes-2.jpg http://www.4moores.com/280z/files/240Z_Wiring_Diagram.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/76280z/5861385867/?rb=1 Here is one with the heater/blower: http://www.airmayer.com/images/240z/earlywire.JPG There are also diagrams in these documents: Without Blower http://www.xenons30.com/files/Owners%20Manuals/1970%20240z%20ownersmanual.pdf With Blower/Heater http://www.xenons30.com/files/1971%20FSM%20Supplement.pdf

    I just did the exhaust on an L24 with Maxima N-47 head and medium lift cam. It worked fine. Doing the intake *may* give better breathing but lower CR
  7. I did not use the Grants and let the machine shop turn key it when they rebuilt the short block. I supplied bearings and seals however.
  8. The fitting on the front carb body is a ported vacuum source. It connects to the vacuum canister on the distributor. There is none on the back carb.
  9. Fuel from the tank vents into your engine block when the car is off. When the engine starts, the vacuum changes the path through the valve and vapours from the block are now sucked into the carbs and re-burned.
  10. Get well!

  13. Good stufff Chas! Some diagrams have the heater circuitry and some do not. I think it would be good to include it.
  14. Please do! Hundreds from now and the next 30 or more years will be grateful.
  15. I drove a right hand drive one in Ireland. So intuitive. The road seemingly rolling under my feet was the best experience. I am guessing a modern Lotus or even a Europa would be similar.

    It seems to have been a poorly made or corroded crimp connection. Great perseverance! Ken:1 Gremlin: 0

    I have to get back to my buddy Dr240z. We'll both be there hopefully in two or three vehicles .
  19. Looks great!
  20. Kats you are a craftsman! In contrast, here in Canada we just put cardboard in front of the radiators.... but we are hill-billies and hicks from the sticks (or organic) That is why few car parts are made in Canada but the boxes they come in are cardboard from Canadian trees.

    I just had to grind the valves on my snow blower. I used Permatex Gasket Remover as part of the job.... it bubbled the carbon and gasket like paint stripper.
  22. If it idles all day but won't run under load then it is most likely fuel delivery caused by debris in the fuel tank clogging the lines or pickup. Put a clear fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump to see what is going on. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fuel/g3filter/index.htm You may also want to clean the small filter on the pump inlet port.
  23. time to raise all of your stuff in the house out of reach as walking starts soon
