WWJD. (what would john do)

On the fume issue, not sure if I'm just lucky or what, but my '73 has zero fumes. Silicone sealer around the tail lights, MSA hatch seal, and that was it. Still has original (rotted) quarter window and hatch glass seals.

I put around 10,000 miles on my '73 per year, driving it every weekday to school (11 mile round trip), and wherever I need to go on the weekends, year round. Engine and chassis have 143k on them (sat for 16 years).

Hasn't slowed me down. Got a set of z-therapy carb bodies that are going in at 3 this afternoon. Plus it's only gonna be 108 today.

36,177,334,150 240Zs (on average).

Makes you feel so insignificant doesn't it.

Wow this thing is pretty cool. It's amazing (at least to me) how mechanically correct most of it is. Usually you see and hear stuff like 240zx....

Ah, they're both the same one.

How much was it per quart? Also, does anyone know how much zinc content is required to adequately protect our flat-tappet cams? I'm not going to go out of my way to get something with .20% if the .12% in the oil I'm running now works just fine.

In a 240 all lights work reguardless of key position, save for turn signals.

On the valvoline website, they said Napa carries it. Dunno if you checked there or not. I'm going to check my local Napa sometime today or tomorrow to see if they carry it, and how much more it is over their regular synthetic. And it's amazing what you can find on amazon...Though at 8.30 a quart I might as well run amsoil.

Awesome. I didn't even know that was availible (I usually go to autozone, not napa). I've been using their regular synthetic, but if this isn't much of a price difference, I'll switch to it for the added zinc.

Neither could I, hence the fact that the box is blank in the link you originally posted. Also, vr1 is a conventional oil, not a synthetic.

Ah, didn't see your original post, just saw TegRacer's reply.

..

There's a strainer in the banjo fitting where the fuel enters the float bowl, but there is no filter in the carb.

What is that big copper tube you have attached to every intake runner for? Edit: Nvm, it's for better vacuum pull with tripples.

Hi guys. I've been thinking about converting my '73 240z over to fuel injection. I've been reading tons of info on MS and all the other issues with converting to fi, and the only thing I haven't found any info about (even after much searching) is possibly using it on an E88 head. Has anyone had an E31/E88 drilled for use with fuel injection (4 mounting holes and injector paths)? If so, about how much did the work cost you? The reason for using an E88 instead of one of the FI heads is (1) I want to use it on the stock l24, and (2) I would like to use this head on the L28e I'm building as well to increase compression. Thanks. Sean
