Arne Posted December 19, 2008 Share #25 Posted December 19, 2008 Bonzi, the hand throttle linkage and mechanism was totally inside the car, I believe.

Bonzi Lon Posted December 19, 2008 Share #26 Posted December 19, 2008 The bracket in question is inside the car under the dash and to the right of the stearing column.Bonzi Lon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/30256-well-i-wound-up-with-another-low-vin-z/?page=3#findComment-269219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share #27 Posted December 19, 2008 Arne, I think Bonzi is referring the bracket is welded to the underside of the cowl area. That bracket is used to route the hand throttle cable so that it aligns with the accelerator pedal. Here is a picture of the one in #32.-Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/30256-well-i-wound-up-with-another-low-vin-z/?page=3#findComment-269220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted December 19, 2008 Share #29 Posted December 19, 2008 Sorry, I mis-read and thought you were talking about something on the outside under the hood. My bad.

Stickerman Posted December 19, 2008 Share #30 Posted December 19, 2008 My 68 Roadster's dipstick is 16 3/8 inches long and has the number 12201 etched (not forged stamped as the 3 above) above the H (full) mark.Bonzi LonYours is correct for the 1600, the 2000s are different. Actually the 2000's have different ones depending on the oil pan (Solex/non solex setup) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/30256-well-i-wound-up-with-another-low-vin-z/?page=3#findComment-269233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share #32 Posted April 8, 2009 I'm finally getting some time to start prepping HLS30-00210 for a restart before too long. It was last run in the mid 90's. I'll be going through the "waking the sleeping beast" checklist over the next couple of weeks. I drained the fluids this weekend and today I took the gas tank out and cleaned the exterior of the tank with soap and water. Notice the yellow paint marking on one of the top tabs and the 10-30-69 date stamp (showa date 44.10.30). Since there is no evaporator tank on the early cars, there is also no connector for a hose to the tank.It is so clean on the inside, I'm not even sure if I need to boil it out. Should I just repaint it a gloss black or use POR 15 on the exterior?-Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/30256-well-i-wound-up-with-another-low-vin-z/?page=3#findComment-280122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted April 8, 2009 Share #33 Posted April 8, 2009 Mike, that's what the insides of all three of my cars' tanks looked like, and I left them all be as is. Sold both of the parts car tanks, and am using the red car's tank with no issue. As long as the feed tube in the tank is clear, I'd let it ride.
