lowcarbz what did the parts cost to rebuild? Shocks, bushings, and exactly what hardware?

Is the toe adjustable on these cars or must you replace the the worn parts, I sure do not see anything that appears adjustable.

OK I will defer to your knowledge and replace both thanks.

If I had the car on a lift would I be able to feel play if I pushed and pulled on the tire assuming the bushings are bad? The chassis only has 58000 miles on it and 34 years.

I don't know if this is the proper term. My 74Z is wearing the drivers side rear tire on the inside, I have looked at it on the lift but I don't see any way to adjust the camber. When I put a level on the rear wheels it looks like both rear wheels are 3/4 inch wider at the bottom than the top. Could the springs be getting weak or is there something I should look for. The passenger side shows normal wear.

This car will run to excess.

Yes, I am using the stock gauge and it runs 185 to 190 up to 50 or 55 at 75 it will go to 240

The radiator has 2-1" cores 19x22 I should have bought 24x19 but the experts say that should be adequate.

I had no idea that there were that many Hybrid Z's in this area. I would really like to see your cars and compare notes. I'll send each of you a PM. I fabricated an aluminum cowl 2" thick sealed to the radiator. I just finished building an air box to channel more air to the radiator. I don't have a front bumper I wonder if that has a negative effect on the aerodynamics.

I found a Thread that seams to indicate that closing in the area around the frontal area to force more air through the radiator seems to be the logical next step.

260 with 350 sbc Factory Tach is hooked up wrong, it goes up and down 4000 to zero with no relation to rpm. I think I read that there is something on the tach that can be adjusted to calibrate it. How do I do that and how difficult is it to remove the dash?

260Z is almost finished. Problems Heating issue; I bought the car from a neighbor that moved on to work on his Cobra Kit. There were two small electric fans installed .I bought an aluminum radiator 1 1/2 thick and fabricated a new cowl and added a 16" 3000 cfm fan. It runs hot at freeway speeds but will cool off when I slow down to city speeds, I installed a manual switch and a 160 deg thermostat. I added an aluminum shield from the spoiler to the crossmember and am planing to box the top and sides to force more air through the radiator. I have a 8x12 trans cooler in front of the ac condenser. maybe that is bad.The car has ac but that is out of the question at this point. I bought a mechanical fan and clutch but the cowl fabrication was more that I think I can handle. I read the posts on heating issues but have not found a solution for this Texas heat. Is a mechanical fan a likely solution or do I need to add more radiator? I owned a stock 72 and it would get hot if I tried to keep it above 115 mph. I have some other issues but will save them for another post.

128MPH so far still working on it. I am running the stock rear. Z pics
