240260280 Posted August 4, 2019 Share #181 Posted August 4, 2019 At the Z barn: Helped my buddy get a 73 going that sat for 5 years. Runs great now. Clogged fuel bowls, fuel needle valve blocked, missing internal carb spring, weak return springs, fuel pump failed, timing was at 10ATDC and vacuum leaks Picked up a fuel pump that matches the type in the very early FSM's Enjoyed a great view at the barn on the mountain and time with great friends... even saw a 1969 LA police car #12 stored there.

Popular Post mgood Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Share #186 Posted August 4, 2019 I go to a lot of car shows here in Pittsburgh on the weekends, I am usually the only Z of any kind and most times the only foreign car. On Saturday I attended a show held by the local aeronautics school at the county airport. The control tower is the main building and is't an art deco design so I photographed the car in front of it.

siteunseen Posted August 4, 2019 Share #187 Posted August 4, 2019 Burned up some older fuel this morning. Refilled with fresh at a busy gas station/McDonald's and had 3 experts tell me what my car was worth. Small town stuff. Get a quart of oil and a Quarter Pounder in one place. Also free Z appraisals. ?

siteunseen Posted August 4, 2019 Share #189 Posted August 4, 2019 Way off, $5,000. Told me where they could buy one for a few thousand. "Here's my phone, call them and I'll buy it today". Then didn't know was it a 2.4, 2.8, Z or ZX. Oh yeah also said no way was the paint original. That's when I quit being polite. its too hot to argue with rednecks. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/61322-2019-what-did-you-do-towith-your-z-today/?page=16#findComment-581158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked at the engine like he knew what it was and then asked " Is that one of them rotary motors?" I just closed the hood and said gotta go! 1 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/61322-2019-what-did-you-do-towith-your-z-today/?page=16#findComment-581175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted August 4, 2019 Share #191 Posted August 4, 2019 I've learned a lesson today. No more sharing info at a gas station. Just with you guys.
