Hey Guys, Finally got home from over seas and found some time to work on my Z. I have purchased this car about 1.5y ago which was in storage for 15y in southern Cali...RUST FREE, She is a little rough looking but that will all change in the Future.
First I had to Buy a Batterie, lol Secondly I drained the Tank of about 5 Gal worth of GAS/Varnish...Nasty, I changed all Rubber Fuel lines and added a new Fuel Filter about 2 hours worth of work. We finally got her crankin and Running but hardly.
One of the Carbs was flooding like crazy so my Boss, we are mechanics at a Local Performance Shop..decided to add a Fuel Regulator to lower the Fuel pressure but it still was no go, the Carbs where just not performing so I gave Oreilly's a call and order two Carb Kits for $50 bucks, My boss then rebuild the carbs and voila, we shall have a fine running Z
Of course the brakes where no good so I rebuild the Master Cylinder past Sunday, re-cut the all rotors and drums Bleed the system and brakes are working fine. Just one more thing before I lower my Z from the Lift and take it back on the road. I went ahead and modified the Rear Muffler. I basically gutted it and welded a perforated straight pipe from the inlet to the outlet, It went from stock sound to nice and throaty in less then 60 minutes and it didn't cost a Dime, especially since my boss pays for the argon and wire.
I will try to follow up with a 4x4 Toyota brake upgrade this week.
Fuel Regulator
Oh snap, Gotta Cut some more
I was really surprised how well it sounds, not to loud just right!
