This is the exact cam that I use on my 3.0. The idle is slightly rough but not objectionable. I have an E-88 head with welded combustion chambers, large valves and ported by Bowers Racing. Bottom...

I had a heck of a time adjusting the brake booster pushrod to the correct length. Setting it up like the factory service manual stated left a very long peddle throw. I kept adjusting until I liked...

I know what the lawsuit is about! These people were in accidents where the airbag did not deploy because of a faulty ignition switch. I've seen people with 5 lbs of stuff on their key rings. How...

I would rather be in an accident in a "defective cobalt" than a 70's Z! Don't get me wrong, I love my Z but it doesn't compare to the crumple zones built into modern cars. Most accidents would be...

303 out of how many millions sold?

You can check out my audio setup in my garage. I used a single Alpine 10" sub in the spare tire well and have a 31 band parametric eq (an equalizer that allows you to choose any frequency and boost...

I use this a lot too. Actually have a few copies because they made 2 versions.:

The Stereophile Test CD | Stereophile.com

Tracks 20-31 are warble tones. They don't list them but they also...

I use this for all my audio setup:TrueRTA Real Time Analyzer FAQ Page

But I have seen this too and it might work well: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rta/id298839433

Music is hard to setup...

What's your smog situation in Cali? A 280 Z with carbs on it won't pass smog...but if your just building for the track your fine. California doesn't mess around with stuff like this, they crush...

You could do what I did and use the spare tire well for a sub enclosure. I used 1 10" alpine sub and 300 watt amp and get a measured flat response from 20hz-200hz .sounds awesome. See my garage on...

As mike said, try reversing one of the speakers + & - wires. If you connecting one of them backwards accidentally you will have no bass. Also try sealing the speakers to the box with silicone. ...

Try adjusting the rod between the brake booster and MC. It made a huge difference on mine.

My piston's had eyebrows...Dave cut them slightly deeper after checking clearance.

I have a 3.0 liter F54 block built with Rebello's 3.0 liter kit. It has 2 mm longer stroke and forged JE pistons and Eagle 138 mm H beam rods. The rod stroke ratio is 1.7 which gives good dwell at...

I would use the SU's . You can modify them to make damn good hp.

Reverse the magnetic pickup wires.

Too late now but I would suggest a MINI Cooper JCW...

What I can't figure out is how the motorcycles with open pipes don't get tagged on a regular basis. Those things are far louder than my Z ever was.

This is what gets me!! I can drive on the...

The 260 E88 head had brass valve seats. I don't recall if mine had steel guides...they are now 'cause we changed them. The big problem with the E88-260 head is it has a big open combustion chamber...

You could have the combustion chambers welded & reshaped and have the steel valve seats installed at the same time. Thats what I did...

What have you done to your engine? 3.0? Cam? Porting? If its stock those are huge carbs...

Here's a link to my garage

The spare tire well is about 1 cubic foot and that's what the Alpine sub called for in a sealed enclosure. Measures flat from...

That strap is pretty loose. It's really just a fail safe thing in case the rubber mount fails. You should get a matching set of rims. That could be your problem. Are you a Z Car Club of Colorado...

Did you get it aligned after the suspension work? I would lift the motor and check the mounts. Also the trans mounts and diff mounts. Could be just cheap tires...I've never heard of stinger.

I use the MSD triggered by the stock magnetic pickup in my 3.0 liter 260. I would skip te Mallory dist. Mine runs great.
