Trying to put a 240 tank into a 76 280z. I can get the shallow side hung up ok but the filler neck side does not want to go up and its driving me nuts. It was my understanding that this tank will fit in the car but I could be wrong? or is frustration just getting the better of me? thanks guys.

I have a 350 sbc thats probly making btw 300-375 hp. Im swapping my turbo 350 (forsale) for a WC t5 set up. I'd rather not spend $700 on a clutch because I'm a poor college kid with limited income. Does any body have reccomendations on a good clutch to use? thanks

Car is running good but over heating. im working out minor kinks and pulling the motor to reset it JTR style (its currently scarab style) and to fix some oil leaks. I wanna read the v8 bible b4 i start ordering parts. hows your car?!

[Anyone want to sell JTR manual?]

I was wondering if anyone wanted to sell me a used JTR manual? i hate to spend the $40.00 on a book i'll only use a couple of times when im a brokedick college student who can barely afford decent parts. A used book would be just fine.
