2.5 psi is a little low and 5.0 is a little high, book says about 3.2 to 4.2, both carbs get about the same fuel pressure/flow unless the rail is blocked. If it's a Mallory low-pressure pump I think...

Once the evaporator is removed, it's possible (with contortion, a small extension mirror and/or a small camera) to see the core, valve and hose fittings well enough to see where the leaks are, by the...

Removing the evaporator was easy and made it easier to work in that area. My heater valve is all corroded and the hose connections leaked until I plugged the engine fittings. Need to replace the...

McMaster-Carr

These are what I used for the 1/4" and 5/16" fuel lines. Figured I'd need F.I. type clamps for the heftier USCG fire-resistant, ethanol-resistant fuel hoses. Bags of five. Only one...

McMaster-Carr has those clamps in two grades of stainless.

Fabric friction tape no good? Damn, I just bought some to tidy up the coil/distributor harness.

How well does the insulation on the 40 year old wires hold up in the engine bay? Don't know but I'd...

Floats are the same front and rear. The lid on the front carb has 2 mm longer "ears" and uses the longer float valve. The fuel level in the front bowl should be 2mm lower than the rear carb but you...

"what is that small pipe that attachs to brake booster outlet?"

That goes to the AT modulator. You need that for the AT to function properly. There's another short curved hose that connects the...

Using the little fuel return line as the main fuel line sounds totally whack. Seems like it couldn't supply enough gas, on a grade at freeway speed for example. And it's so easy to bypass the...

10 Tricks to remove that Stuck, Seized, or Stripped Bolt/Nut | Eastwood Blog

Saw this, thought I'd pass it along.

Had a leaky banjo until I polished both sides with 600 grit sandpaper. Also had to use the red composite washers, the old aluminum ones needed a crazy amount of torque to stop leaking.

I use the key until it lands close to a node for a ballpark setting, then use the dwell meter on the dwell/tachometer or the digital timing light to fine tune it.

IIRC, once I fried a fusible...

Main thing for a DD is it's a Datsun. Datsun's from that era are known to last. But any car can be a DD. Main thing for me is it's a racer that beat way more expensive cars.
Bad things: radio sucks,...

The Z looks very nice, and when it's parked by the 510 you have your own classic car show.

I also came South from Oregon, it was last Tuesday. The 5 has some major mountains (at least they seem...

I expect Zed Head is on the right track, but does this happen whether the tank is empty or full? 280 fuel/vent plumbing is much different from 240 but I have often noticed fuel pressure fluctuations...

Check carefully for vacuum leaks and plug anything threaded that's removed from balance tube with correct BSPT thread plugs?

I would change to 65 series tires rather than the usual 70 series, only...

If the car is perfect, body and mechanical, why not spend 1800 on a better dash. Why do they crack, anyway?

I got at 0-10 psi liquid filled McDaniel gauge after reading some rave reviews of it on an RX-7 site. They also have gauges that would be right for F.I. setup. I've had it installed (under the glove...

Rather than relying on the manufacturer's claims, unless you have personal knowledge, I would rely on my local muffler shop to choose a muffler that won't restrict flow, and won't be too loud. They...

The instructions for those ten dollar glass filters say "not for fuel injection". For carbed systems they're good for diagnosing a dirty fuel tank. I don't want them permanently though. For one...

I got the large 100 micron for carbs (by the tank). 40 micron for F.I. after the pump. Seems like overkill but figure I won't have to clean it very...

What model is your Carter, mechanical or electrical?

A few (two?) years ago I saw a rebuild kit for 240Z F.P. online; went back later and couldn't find it. Hope you find the parts.

Looks like this thread was to find replacements for the OE Fuel...

Wind will do bad things to a car cover unless it's a brand new, top of the line, like gold series from BD. My experience is only about 30 mph wind speed in a winter storm. 65 mph is almost...

That $4500 to finish it up sounds a little ridiculous. But if I had ten times the money, and ten times the knowledge and experience, and my own machine shop, I might be interested. Wait, better make...
