  1. Ok, running through the last few items on my to do list before going in for roadworthy certificate... Finally My issue: When I got the car -72 240z- the previous owner had removed the hazard switch. Now I can't find the wiring or plug to hook it back up. I'm sure it's all still there but as I'm using a universal switch I don't know what the plug looks like. Can someone point me in the direction? Does anyone have pictures/ colours of the hazard switch wiring/plug?? Cheers Will
  2. Thanks Apex, Thats a big help. Yep, got everything there ticked off except for the position of the floats. Do you mean the top of the float should be parallel with the bowl cap? At the moment, set to 10.3mm, mine are a long way away from parrallel.
  3. Ok, now I've set both floats to 10.31mm and now it's running way to rich. Does anyone know what to set the 240z carb floats to? Any help would be awesome!
  4. I have the dakota digital guages hooked up but i need to get the suitable oil pressure and water temp senders. Can you tell me what size the water temp thread needs to be so i can order it from DD?? Cheers
  5. But how sensitive? The guide that i have says set it to 10.31mm (0.401 inch) for 1970-71 "4 hole suction chamber" carbs How close do i have to be? mm perfect? or close enough is good enough?
  6. How critical is the adjustment on the floats of Hitachi Carbs???
  7. G'Day I had a good search, but cant find any help on this one. Can anyone tell me what thread size the water temperature sensor and oil pressure sensor has for a '73 240z? I have installed dakota digital guages hoping that the factory sensors would be close to accurate. They werent! If anyone knows, or can point me to a post it would be most appreciated. Cheers Will
  8. Thanks everyone! Heaps of information. I figured out where i was going wrong last night though. Phlebmaster was right, i needed to cock the choke levers until just before they pull the jets down, then set them. The round tops have a much more complex choke lever system than the standard flat tops. Again, thanks everyone. My Z is puuurrrrrrring! Cheers Will
  9. Thanks again, But when i pull the part that connects to the choke cable all the way up or down it wont move the jets up or down at all. Maybe i have hooked it up to the wrong spot.
  10. Thanks heaps, I will try that. One more question, on the original Hitachi SU carbs, when the choke cable is pulled, the pistons are pulled down slightly, where as the genuine SU carbs the choke cable doesnt seem to pull them down, but moves a different arm on each carb. Hopefully someone can understand me and let me know if this is correct. Thanks again Will
