carbs need rebuilt, check your vacuum advance. that engine is just fine, its something on the intake, could be fuel lines clogged as well try flushing the tank.

I probably have one of the crappiest z's on here, but she has been a faithful DD for almost a year... she's 35 years old and when I bought it I pulled the head to see what state the engine was in, smooth walls... it doesn't use any oil and still has plenty of power... I am so glad to hear that I'm not the only one with the gas smell... my girlfriend calls it my perfume.

if possible stick a shifter on one and count.

I've started to draw some things out and have been collecting bar... dune buggies are pretty fun me and my dad have built two and are starting on a third...

I have been debating this for along time but I figured I would take this discussion to this forum... I have a 240z who is way past her prime, her frame rails are gone, and she has been picked and parted to near oblivion by myself and others, but what she does have is. 1) solid engine, turns runs well. 2) solid transmission, shifts smooth and clean. 3) the body past the front fenders is relatively solid and easily shored up. so here is my question to you. If I ran a roll cage through the car and put a tube frame front end similar to a double a-arm set up on a long travel dune buggy, then do a similar long travel setup with some king coilovers on the back... do you think she would make a spanking sand car?

my 260 does the same thing, I'm not really sure whats up with it, but its gone 6,000 miles in my possession and hasn't died yet, i think its bad support on the mustash bar for the diff, but who knows...

Mine is 100$ a month on one ticket so 1200 a year and I'm 20

do you have to run a cat? you don't have to in Kansas, mine is set up 6 to one into a resonator and into the muffler, I am not an exhaust expert but does the cat really do anything other than make hippies happy?

oh jeez, you want to talk about rat rods, I need to take pictures of my heap. Mine is a 74 shell with a 73 engine and tranny, (sadly the good 240 was title less and the 260 with the bum engine wasn't) it is currently in four different colors with the roof in primer, the rockers are gone and I patched the floors with fiber glass. my hatch is off of my 240 and soon the hood will be too, I couldn't get the blinkers to work so I installed dune buggy blinkers in the grill and now the lower valances just have gaping holes( I tell people their break vents.) the cars lower center valance is off the 240 and was collapsed in so I beat it back out, it looks horrible. but I don't care because the look on every ford mustang owners face when I beat their asses in my jelope is good enough for me.

I had a rattle, when I pulled the panel I found that the glass had been previously broken and there was a ton that had collected at the bottom of the door.

this just goes to show, with Dr. Pepper, you can accomplish anything.

I was up until 2:30 am after starting to replace on of my U-joints and it got me thinking whats your worst project day? here's how my Saturday went: 1. got up at about 8:30 feeling good. 2. started my drive to my dads house(My car is an hour away from me.) 3. my van stalled on the on ramp for the interstate(coil roast.) 4. two coils later and a lot of heartache, it is now 11:30 am and I am finally at my dads house. 5. 1:30pm: two hours later my dad pinned down the electrical problem and fixed the van(I'm not the best at electrical work, I'm lost AC or DC. feeling confident that my van is now fixed, I pull it out of the garage and go to start my Z.... dead battery, no problem quick jump and I start to roll it into the garage..... upon entering the garage my car makes a hideous scream and dies... dropped the transmission, apparently it developed a slow leak the two weeks it was parked and had no fluid what so ever in it. no problem I figure, I have a spare. 6. 8:30pm: well that's over, with new transmission, it will be fine now... as I was leaving the underside of my car I noticed a rather bad gas smell, I glanced to the rear to see gas dripping from the top of the gas tank... well I figured, "Its already on jacks." 7. 11:30pm: after replacing every single piece of hosing for the gas tank, that managed to disintegrate in only two weeks, I felt that all my problems were finally behind me. after pouring my siphoned gas back into the tank I started the car and let it warm up. 8. 11:40pm: I hop in my car and flip on my lights to discover to my amazement, I don't have any, at all. 9. 12:00am: it's not the fuses not the fusible link. I've checked all my grounds and traced every wire... in sear frustration I kick the tire... bingo! Lights on and I'm starting my drive home... only to find to my amazement, I forgot to plug in my reverse lights. 10. 1:30am: after spending an hour and a half trying to make them work, I quit in frustration, and started my drive home. 11. 2:30am: I begin wondering what I really accomplished that day, My car runs no better than before and I'm pretty sure that the light situation is going to come back and haunt me sooner or later. So somebody cheer me up, lets here your story.

my word thats some moneys... I'm just happy mine starts in the morning.

i'm doing the same as dhp but I am shaving the armrest/handles... I just dont like the way they look.

I used truck bed liner, may the flaming begin.
