Threehz, Sorry for you misfortune. I am getting ready to pull my engine and I am wondering if I can use the bracket that holds the AC unit on near the front of the engine as a point to connect the engine hoist. I also assume the bracket near the rear of the engine is also a good point. Tx, Bill

Wow, that looks like a nice car. Is it worth the money? Bill

Foolthrottle, I sent you a PM. Bill

I thought I had just seen that one for 8k, not 9k. Didn't someone on this forum take a look? I thought they had bought it, but I guess not? I might have to drive up and take a look.

Nope, been up and the best time is camping the night before. When does the Z show up? Bill

I haven't read the entire thread, but did you try a coffee can w/ gas in it and feed the tube coming off the fuel filter into it and see if you are getting any suction as all? I had an issue w/ mine and it didn't work correctly until the fuel filter actually filled up w/ gas. It was like the suction was getting bled off or something. Bill

I haven't looked into it very hard and it seems obvious that the turn indicator is the issue. The right turn signal works fine, but the left turn signal is intemittent. I am assuming it is some sort of contact issue. Is a replacement required of simply a cleaning? Tx, Bill

Who rebuilt them? Maybe they did something wrong and it is an easy fix? Have you looked at them yet w/ the car off to see if things move easily like they should? Sound like something might be binding in the linkage, not a carb problem. Bill

I haven't checked the websites yet, but what are some other differences between the 20/30D or even the 5D and the 400D? I have been considering the 400D from a price perspective and number of pixels. What other than fps should be considered here? I plan to use a zoom lense for pics of the kids while they play soccer, bball, etc. Tx, Bill

The fact that the rear carb sticks at all is not good. It should fall smoothly and end in a "clunk" sound and not stick at all. It is sticks the needle is no doubt hitting the nozzle. This could be due to the fact that the carb dome is slightly off center. This can be fiddled w/ by unscrewing and then screwing down the dome in a different order and torque. Play w/ it a bit to see if you can get it to stop sticking. Are your carbs sync'd? Did you check your spark plugs, timing, valves, etc? Bill

Mine is white and I will most likely repaint it white w/ a stripe of different color rear end. Bill

Hey Mike, Don't want to make it tougher, but what about this one from a another thread. See the thread for details.... Bill Car pic: http://classiczcars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=15965&d=1168818294 Thread: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24557&highlight=350z

Nice choice in rims Zak! I would love to have a set for my Z, but need to get it painted before I start spending money on wheels! Bill

Kenny, I would love to talk to you some time. I need an overall tuneup as I bought the car about a year ago and swapped carbs, but haven't done much else. Need to check valves, points, plugs, etc. I am hoping that all helps a bit, but am looking forward to summer. It also needs a paint job, but don't want to break the bank. Would also like to look into the urethane bushing replacement as well, as I think it has all the orginal bushing on it still. Bill

I am in Colorado, have a 73 w/ 72 SU's and have the same issue. Full choke and crank it. Then is seems to take forever to get it to warm up, but when it does, look out. After it is work, it starts right away. Bill

Resurrecting an old thread.... Anyone know what the L24 weighs w/ and w/o the tranny? I am in the market for an engine stand and wanted to know what I need. Tx, Bill

Aurora? I thought you were moving to the Springs? We don't need anymore folks from Cali, but if you have a Z and are willing to talk Z's, then I guess you are okay. Bill

I have been wondering about that myself. Thanks Bryan, I will have to take a look. Bill

Along these same lines I had my 73 w/ SU's running pretty good, but replaced the entire exhaust and it will idle fine while adjusting it, but once I drive it a bit and make my first stop it behaves like lombozo's where it wants to die. I have been told the back-pressure has been affected, but I don't know how to account for this. Could the new exhaust(which is off an old Z) be plugged or restricted causing this? Tx, Bill

Check to see if your choke is stuck. There are nozzles at the base or each carb and assuming the choke if off, then they should be all the way up, which is what you are adjusting when you turn the mixutre nut.

Man, I wish you were in Colorado. I would help and get on my own restoration that I have put off for several years and finally bought another Z, just so I could drive one in the summer. Sounds to me like you have all the tools, etc. Dig in and have fun!!

Darrel, What are they doing outside?!?!

Assuming the carbs are clean, floats are working and such, then you probably need to adjust them. Are you running the original flat tops or does your car have the roundtop SUs?

ilikemyz, where are you located?

Thanks for the pictures Daniel. Now I am even more disappointed that I missed it. Maybe next time. Bill
