Love my 72 240Z

SuferD ... thank you for the link. Makes me think that the ZStory stainless header is a steal (price wise)

ISO: Total Seal Piston Rings +0.020 Bore: 3.288 Top Ring: 2.0 Middle Ring: 2.0 Bottom/Oil Ring 4.0 Total Seal Set Number is S2875-20 Looking for best price ... looks like retail is all that is coming up. Thanks,

Siteunseen, Thank you ... I did not think of Hastings. At this point (if I cannot find NPR) I am looking at ITM as backup. BTW, you have a great looking 72 ... really nice! Thank you for the info.

Looking to buy a new set of six (6) NPR Pistons and Rings +0.020 for a 240Z or L24 engine. Thanks!

7tooZ. Thank you for the offer ... with ZStory being $585.00 for an unused header ... I believe I need to pass .... but thank you for the reply.

Would like to purchase a stainless steel header for my '72 240Z ... stock engine ... just wanted the longevity of stainless. Unable to find "state side" dealers that sale stainless headers. Anyone have suggestions or contacts? I looked at ZStory (nice product) but by the time I buy it and ship it it's +$700. Someone in the states needs to fill this gap with supplying stainless headers for the s30. Any leads appreciated. Thanks

Ok guys .... its been a while and life has gotten in the way .... but here is the list for a L24 "long block" rebuild. Hope it benefits somebody else. Thank y'all for your input and I have collected many of the parts needed to completely redo my engine ... looks like I will begin pulling engine in early October 2017. Thanks again. L24 Engine Rebuild Check List.doc

Time to rebuild the engine in my 72 240 Z. Thought someone may know of parts "check list" that has been created (with or w/o Nissan part numbers) for L24 engine rebuild? I am looking to acquire parts, and once all parts have been secured (checked off the list), THEN perform the rebuild. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Carl, Just sent PM. thanks! David Jacks

Dave, Thank you ... great idea and exactly my back-up plan if I cannot find the OEM part. Also wondered if something off a later Z (280Z) may work if I had to splice it? Any ideas? Thanks again - great idea with the hose and metal tubing.

Jim D "Zup", Thank you for the lead. The hose you pointed outs is one that I already have and is available through Nissan. It is similar in that it has a "crook" at one end but is shorter in length, does not have a second bend and is smaller in diameter. Thank you for checking this out on my behalf. Have a great day.

Guys, I am looking to purchase a NEW vapor recovery hose for my 72 240 Z. There are three (3) and I have the other two (2) new in my hand. I am looking for 17235-E4101 (see pic) it has the largest inside and outside diameter of the three hoses. The following suppliers are presently out of stock: Nissan including Courtesy and Chesapeake; Motorsport; Banzai Motorsport and eBay. So now I turn to you the true professional parts finders Any help is appreciated. Thanks, David Jacks Motorsport!

Alright guys and Carl ... my cell phone just rang (10:45am CT) and the AMC Discount Parts folks CANNOT get the 2" (240Z) heater core and the reproduction facilities will only be making 2 1/2 (260Z & 280Z) from now on. Guys, looks like we are on our own. Thanks for all y'alls help. Have a great day.

Carl, Just called, since the box has not been delivered to me. They are working trying to locate a 2" (240Z) instead of the 2 1/2" (280Z) all they had on the shelf was 2 1/2". I want to trust they are doing a good job ... but am growing more skeptical with each passing day I did remind the gentleman on the phone that if he could get more than one -- that you (Carl) would be interested in purchasing TWO (2) from him. maybe that will motivate him knowing a few more sales are waiting for him. BTW, if I have to drive over there in person I can ... it is only 1 hour from my house I will keep you updated - Thanks

ZKars and Carl, Just called Graham, Texas and they had Two (2) in-stock @ $109.00 each. I went ahead and bit the bullet and snagged one .. it hurt to buy it for that price knowing (at some point in the recent past) the price was half, but I guess that is the way the ball bounces Thank y'all very much for info and I will put AMC Discount parts in my file. Thanks again.
