  1. If it ran fine with the return line in a catch can, then I would say that you have a vapor vent issue. It sounds like your tank is under pressure when your running.

    There are 4 vent lines on the tank, and if they're the original I'm sure they're shot. I've seen a few of the lines on Ebay, and MSA also has them.

  2. If you opt for the Apexi computer that does away with AFM's you wont need them and you can get a more efficient runner

     

    I'm still new to turbo's and modifying the ECU, and sensors. I guess that would mean the addition of a MAP. For now I want to keep the engine basically stock, until I can do more research on the mods I want to make. I've always stuck with carb cars in the past because I was not the comfortable with my knowledge of modifying modern EFI system.

     

    This isn't a major problem, but when it all comes down, you'll figure it out.

     

    Hopefully with a little bit of help from you guys.

  3. For the first question I can't see why it wouldn't fit right, since it's the same block. The only major diff I've heard of so far between the RB2632 & 33, is where the crank attach's to the oil pump.

    Although the fins on the water pump are a little smaller the the stock there are more of them. So I don't see why that would be true either.

    With all that said, I have no experience with the pump yet, and I do want one.

  4. ........................Out west where the roads are not salted are the best place to look.

     

    I've owned several Z's in the last 15 years, and the only nice one I got was from Cali. Which is the one I still own. The East Coast is very hard to find a good car. The South West is going to be the best area.

     

    Even when you do mange to find a nice rust free car you will still need to stiffen up the chassis, if you want to put any kind of power under the hood. And before you do that I would make sure that the Chassis is straight to begin with. 30+ years of driving will have twisted the chassis a bit. It may not be much of a flex, but why stiffen up the chassis if it's already twisted.

     

    My nice clean Cali car (With 0 rust, or visable signs of an acident) is in 3/8th of an inch on the rear pass side strut support, and the pass side of the car is 1/4 inch longer than the drivers side. I took these mesurements myself so they're probably not exactly right. I'll no more when it gets onto a frame machine.

  5. If you look closely, you'll see he used the oem portion of the factory pick up's brace to hold everything in place. Its the boomarang looking thingie.... :D

     

    I see it now. That'll teach me not to use my glasses.

     

    What type of tubing should I use to fab this up for my swap?

  6. Get a new Transistor from him while your there. I think you'll find the the transistor is faulty, based on your problems so far.

     

    When I can't figure out exactly what's wrong with a car I'll start swapping out parts until it works. I start with the most likely suspect and work my way down the line.

     

    The Transistors have a history of going bad, and it's one of the easiest components to swap out. If it stilldoesn't work you anly wasted a few minutes of your time.

     

    Let us know what it finally was.
