Too Lean Too Rich Just Right The fact 3 runners share 1 carb means the balance of fuel may not be even for all 3.

Saw this on another site and figured it was sage advice. Adapted from this page: Advice on buying a Lathe Imagine: It's 7am and you are casually sipping coffee and reading your favourite local paper. Suddenly, an ad catches your eye in the classified section. It reads: 1970 240z $6,000. Hurry, won't last. Call 555-3353. Your adrenalin is pumping, you have to see this Z first, before someone else grabs it. What to do? Is it too early to call? Throwing politeness to the wind, you dial the number. Alas, it's busy. In your mind, you can see the other 200 eager callers all dialling at the same time while your fingers frantically pound the redial button. Finally, you get through. You determine that the Z is still available, and get directions while grabbing your coat, wallet and car keys. You are out the door the second the phone is back in its receiver. The drive to the sellers home is a blurr of high speed driving and numerous traffic infringements. You barely noticed that you backed over your son's bicycle getting out of the driveway. The seller mentioned that someone else was coming over in an hour. The desire to get there ahead of this person overcomes you. The Z looks great (probably because of the fresh coat of paint) you ask a few cursory questions, but are afraid to ask anything that might reveal that you really don't know what you are looking at. All the while, you are nervously aware that you must act quickly, before someone else grabs it. "Will you take $4,000 for it?" You ask nervously. "Nope!" Comes the reply. "I got someone else comin' over in half an hour who said he was definitely takin' it." "O.K., I'll take it" You say, taking the bait. Meanwhile, across town, a savvy buyer is reading the same ad. He wonders about the "hurry, won't last" part of the ad. "I'll bet that means it will fall apart as soon as you try to drive it" he muses. "Those Z's can be real trouble if you don't check out the body real carefully!" It's not long before you find out just what he means. You have just spent $6000 ($6200 if you include your son's bike!) for your fist course in "how not to buy a Z"! Back at the seller's home, the phone is still ringing. Disappointed callers hang up and mutter something under their breath like:"anything good always sells right away, I'll have to be first next time!"General advice: In the above scenario, the buyer did not make any effort to educate himself about the do's and don'ts when buying a Z prior to making a decision to buy. The key to getting a good deal is to "be prepared". Another mistake made by our fictitious buyer was in letting his judgement be clouded with the thought that he must act quickly or lose the deal. Of course, it is usually necessary to act quickly to come away with a bargain, but if you are well prepared beforehand, you will be better able to make a rational decision in the heat of the moment.

I agree with BMP.

Hi Tamo, Not this time but I'll probably be in the area in the summer. btw if anyone is planning to visit Nova Scotia PM me to meet up.

great. I'll pm contact info. Philip

I'm there from Monday to Friday. Monday evening may work, depends on work load. Another evening may also work but I will know better by Tuesday. I can drive and meet you so less driving for you. Maybe supper one evening?

Will do. Thanks.

I'll be in the area next week. Car and coffee anyone? HF?

I've seen fuel grade hoses of different sizes at Home Depots lawn mower parts section... may work in a pinch

If the panel is off, just use a square, scribe and black marker to mark then colour the area to grind off. Take your time and grind the inked part off. You could also try a metal shear if the edge is straight.

I love this thread and evertime I see a post by Nix I wonder what he has made now Steve, I'll be ordering but I put my 69 resto on hold until I finish the 77.

Do you have an air flow meter to set up carbs? Do you have an O2 sensor? These make tuning so much easier.

2000 roadsters have them

Nice job!

try rotating the distributor clock wise a little at a time and test drive. You will hear pinging underload when you go too far.

It is probably timing if the carbs and fuel flow is ok. What do the plugs look like?
