I can second that. Had it happen on my track car. Make sure your sealant is rated for gasoline use.

I use an MSD Blaster 2 coil and it works great.

I also put the MSA box on my '71 Z. It installed pretty easily, and was of good quality. I do remember that a couple of the connectors were not right, but I just spliced in the correct ones from...

That is my old race car. It had a turbo charged L28, making 330 RWHP when I had it, and that was a lot to handle. 650 HP in a 2100 lb car is just a beast.

I had a hard time bleeding brakes on my Z after installing the Toyota 4x4 calipers. Here is a copy of the post I did back then:

I feel your pain. I had one hell of a time bleeding my brakes after...

So how significant of a race was the Macau Grand Prix? And how significant was the driver? The story does not even say how the car did in the race.

Sure it has an interesting racing provenance,...

I just saw this listing:
1970 Datsun 240 Z Race Car WR Showroom

It claims to be the Macau Grand Prix car. The back ground story appears correct. The listed VIN number is also correct.

Does anyone know if the the door latch inserts from a 280Z fit a 240Z?? I am missing the driver's side on my car.

From your description it sounds like your clutch throw-out bearing has gone bad.

I have an MSD Blaster II Coil that I use with a 280ZX Distributor and it works great.

It is listed in our Classified Section too. Looks interesting. I wish it were closer.

Welcome back Alphadog!! Clearly, you have the Z Disease. I once went 11 years without owning a Z, then I ended up with 3 at one time!

The new one looks pretty nice. You'll have to show us more...

Check your fuse box, third one down on the right side. It is common for that one to melt down the fuse box and take out the dash lights. Your tail lights will be out too.

I don't know of any clubs in WI, but several of our memembers in the Windy City Z Club are from WI.

Congrats on the "New" Z. It looks like you got a great buy on it, with such little rust and a decent interior.

It's funny how these things get in your blood. I went 11 years with out one and...

Nice!! You are way ahead of the curve with this one. I am envious!

The interior is easily fixed. The door panels look good in the pictures. Does it have the usual dash cracks?

Nice score Darrel!! That looks really clean. If the interior is as good of shape, it should be an easy restore.

Some guys have all the luck!

Enjoy waking the beast.

Unless you are going with super wide tires/wheels, you don't need coliovers to lower a Z. You can just use lowering springs which are 1 -2" shorter.

Hey looking is 80% of the fun!! It doesn't mean you HAVE to buy one. I guarantee that you will regret selling your Z. I sold my yellow '71 over threee years ago and I still regret it.

But if...

I got my first 240Z in 1980. It was a very rusty '73. I replaced the entire front end, all of both sides , except for the last 12"s, the driver floor board and the passenger side frame rail. It...

It sounds like you might not have the belts tigh enough.

Marty

Thanks. I see where they ar now. My car is definitely missing those. I thought that those holes may have been intentionally left open for drainage.

Marty

Steve,

I must commend you on producing these parts for the Z community. They look great.

I am interested in the rocker plugs. Just to be sure: are these to plug the hole in the upper part of...

I put mine away on or about Novemeber 1st each year. This year I am trying something new for my storage precedure. After a thorough wash and vacuum, I put in 6 gallons of 100 octane race fuel and...
