When my old 72 VW beetle started on fire in the carbs, i just pulled my shirt off and covered it with that and it worked fine!

Speaking of to good to be true, I didn't want to tell you guys this but i just have to. I purchased my 1972 240z, granted it is a bit rusty, and interior needs some help, and the engine runs, for only $450. Good deal or what?

WOw i guess alot of people think they are cool!

I don't know yet what i think of them. Part of me says no they don't look good, but part of me says hey they look kinda cool, in a retro racie look. your thoughts?

I have seen on the net where you can buy the glass covers to go over your z's lights, Just wondering if anyone has tried them and if they fit well. Tell me what you think.

Oh that site i gave, was for a gentleman i was helping find a backfire valve. If you look in that page it tells about a guy useing one off a ford! I'll agree though i have my doubts.

Try this they say a ford will work?! http://www.alien-e.com/alien-z/

Yes i know all of this. I was just wondering if it would mess up anything by taking every thing off?

I finally got my 1972 240z running, it is alittle knocky, and lags a bit when you press the gas. I hope its nothing to serious. I did notice that there is a tube that is dissconected from a fitting. I can't reconnect it because part of it is missing, but when put my finger over the hole it runs alot better and not as knocky and loud. I was told it was hooked up to the smog pump but For resons unknown (probably for more power i'm guessing) it is unhooked. What should I do. I was thinking about pluging the hole and taking out the whole smog pump, Where I live I would not need it and its not doing anything as it is anyway? what do you think?

I'm pretty excited I went to advanced auto and picked up my master and slave cylider and ordered the hose like you guys suggested!! I can't wait to see that thing drive.

Ya but i'm talking about the clutch.

I Will Get A New Hose Also I Think, I Looked And Its Like Only Maybe At Most 10 Bucks, Thanks For The Advise! Anyone Else Have Anything Else I Might Be Over Looking?

Well i tried bleeding the lines but there was no end to the air coming out, and the top lid to the master cylinder turned out to not be sealing at all, who knows what else was not sealing. So you think with this new master and slave it will fix it? I hope so I want to drive it next weekend if i can find out how to tune the valves and ect!!

Ok so my Z is coming along well now! after a week of 15hr at college and 35 hours at work, the weekend finally came! I have almost all paint off my car and I finally found car in my bondo ( the root of all EVIL). To make along story short my clutch doesn't work, when you press in on it, with no resistence it goes right to the floor. I tried bleeding it, but i think it just leaks air to much. I bought a new master and slave cylider, I hope that is what i needed. Please inlighten me with your clutch knowledge and tell me if this is the right thing to do or if it is something else. THANKS AGAIN

Thanks for the info, I did look a bit but i'll look more, and I did also buy a service manual and how to restore your Z car book also, bought both off amazon for $20 i thought that was a good buy.

I need alittle help from my fellow Z'ers, Does anyone know how to tune the valves and anything esle you need to tune on a L24. If you do please let me know how!! THANKS

I have been thinking about selling my 1972 240z L24 and replace it with a V8, It runs has duel webers! make an offer. send me a private message.

He may have wrote the song but Manfred Made the song that everyone knows and likes today!!!!

"Oh momma that's where the fun is But momma that's where the fun is Momma always told me not to look in the eye's on the sun But momma that's where the fun is" Manfred Knew what he was talking about" blinded By the Light"

It is a 1972 240z. How much do you think it is worth?

Ya I love "driving" hard and fast! you have to love "racing"!

I don't have alot of time tomorrow, but i have to bleed the clutch for sure and maybe the brakes. Please tell me how to! Thanks

To tell you the truth I am kind of new to the whole Z car thing, and I"m not real sure. How can I tell?

Its ok to dent the hood I'm restoring everything anyway!!

Yes it is a two seater but there is alwya that long hood!!!
