my beat up 72 240z has alot of issues....thanks to all for the help with my carbs.....i think its the manual choke as well as using the wrong oil in them..... on with question 2....my hood release latch is stuck open...and ive tried to contact nissan auto parts..(nissanautoparts.com) to get another one but have got no response the few times ive requested a quote....an i gave up.... is there any way to free it up by drowning it in oil?...... or does anyone know where to get one....? i guess this question should be directed to another forum.....sorry thanks, jason

thanks to all..... now i got somthing to work on this weekend..... can i just run marvel mystery oil or tranny fluid all the time?.....or should have the sae 20 required..... somebody told me that i was sapossed to put power steering fluid in it.....this may be one of the many problems....

it is very hard to start my 1972 240z it will not idle unless i feather the gas....and it takes a while of constintaly turning it over to even alow me to feather the gas...... is this a problem with the carbs?....or.... it will take me around 20 mins just to get it to idle in a cold morn.....and i live in san diego calif....i cant imagine what it would be like wher eit snows.....geez

hey i got a 72 240z...and in need of a heater core..... got one? thanks housedoomed@onebox.com
