No luck finding the linear Tokico springs? I've only heard good things about them.

Thanks for the options guys. Still looking

I'm looking for the cam and rod with the yellow plastic ends as pictured below. I have an n42 intake manifold that's missing these pieces. I'd also consider an entire manifold with the linkage attached.

They're available new/reman for about $160+ (eBay was the cheapest I saw). Oil shaft is still available new too if you need that for converting over an engine that doesn't have the star-shaped drive.

I've got a set of 6 L24 rods with the 9mm rod bolts. Pistons are still attached. Asking $225+shipping.

Thanks! I updated the original post with your guy's info. I also added some pictures.

Anyone know of any other options out there that aren't custom? Seems like the ZXT distributor with the DIYautotune wheel is the easy and cheap route.

Thanks for the heads up!

It's been awhile since I've sold a set of these, so I thought I would check on the going rate. Stock set of 133mm 240z rods with the 9mm rod bolts. These are the desirable ones for a stroker build. The last two sets of the 9mm variants I sold for $150 and the 8mm ones for $75, but that was several years go. I can't find any for sale or recently sold ones for reference. The caps are all attached, they're fairly clean, and pistons are still attached, for what it's worth.

Definitely the case! With your setup some other kind of crank angle sensor is needed. Is there a practicality to having cam angle without crank angle? You're probably right about being able to skip the balancing if it's accurately machined. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be far off with a DIY drilling if you're accurate enough for it to be useful as a trigger. Is a flywheel trigger more accurate than a damper mounted one? I wouldn't think so. Thanks for the info! I didn't realize it would pull out with the pump. Are new gears available? I've made a few edits to my original post to reflect new info.

I picked up a MS3x unit with wiring harnesses that was previously running a 1JZ in a Supra to convert my L28 over from carbs to EFI. I'm still deep in the learning phase, and am currently searching out all of my options for cam and crank sensors. I want this thread to serve as a list of what I've found. Your input is welcome and appreciated. Crank: 1982-83 280ZXT distributor with DIYautotune wheel Purchase trigger wheel only, $28 Pros: - Provides both crank and cam signals for sequential injection - DIYautotune support and documentation (installation and wiring guide) - Widely available as remanufactured parts (currently ~$200) - Shaft is available new (currently ~$90) as Nissan p/n 15040-P8000, "SPINDLE ASSY-OIL PUMP DRIVE", Lookup code 15040 Cons: - Requires specific oil pump shaft, which requires pulling timing cover/damper oil pump to install - Less accurate at high RPM due to gear lash (is this a valid concern?), but is not of t concern unless gears are significantly worn. - Used units are getting increasingly hard to find Austin Hoke bolt-in kit Development pics Purchase kit without sensor, $215 Purchase sensor, $37.50 Pros: - Crank mounted trigger wheel gives accurate signal throughout RPM range - Well-designed kit with straightforward documentation - Fit and finish look great - Uses commonly used sensor - Includes distributor block off plate Cons: - Must use Euro damper which is getting harder to find (Austin is currently developing a new one for the L24 damper) - Cost Drilling flywheel for hall sensor Purchase hall sensor, $43 Will add example install links Pros: - Cheap - Accurate - Sensor is tucked away nicely Cons: - Requires pulling flywheel to modify - May require balancing flywheel after modification Custom mounting of universal or OEM trigger wheel Purchase universal wheel, $29 Pros: - Can control details of mounting (two threaded holes on front of damper looks easiest, inspired by this post by BRAAP) - Cheap Cons: - Costly in time Top End Performance Trigger Wheel fab Service, $200+ http://www.racetep.com/automaker/datsun-z/z-car-triple-sidedraft-weber-carb-and-fuel-injection-conversions.html]Info page, scroll to bottom Pros: - Can send in your current pulley and they will fab a kit for it - Can likely control some details since each one is custom Cons: - Possible wait time? Each looks built to order BJH Dynamics / Robello Racing BJH Datdun/Nissan Trigger Wheels Robello Datsun Parts Page Pros: - Quality looks top notch Cons: - Fits their specific damper ($$$) - Very expensive - Looks like trigger wheel only without a bracket for the sensor Cam: Jeep 4.0 CAS in stock distributor location Installation writeup by jacky4566 Pros: - Simple modification for install - Easy to install/remove - Sensor is cheap and widely available both new, used, and remanufactured Cons: - Uses distributor location, so crank signal must come from another spot I'll continue to update this post with more info as I come across it

I have a set with the 9mm bolts. Just sent you a text.

That makes a lot more sense. I didn't realize you had that clearance there and was thinking of a stock configuration where the tank and floor are only separated by the pads on the tank.

With that Tank Inc unit you'll have to drop down part of the tank too, right? With the outlets on the top you might be able to run a spacer between the top of the tank and the floor and loosen up on the J bolts if you don't. I wouldn't want the outlet of the sump pressed right against the floor though. The price really isn't bad including the pump though!

I'm happy to be watching you go through this because I'm soon to follow! What made you chose the Tank Inc. setup over some of the other ones out there? I'm currently looking at the VetteWorks adapter to run a 4th gen Camaro (LS1) fuel pump and am researching all of our options out there. VetteWorks adapter: http://www.vetteworksonline.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=89 Installed on a Camaro tank: http://transamcountry.com/community/index.php?topic=56613.0 I think the easiest route overall is going with one of these modern in-tank setups since I need to drop my tank to clean it anyway. Austin Hoke did a nice job with the mounting of an Aeromotive setup.

Area of 42mm valve = 5542 mm^2 Area of 44mm valve = 6082 mm^2 Flow is directly proportional to the size of the valve opening, so you're getting about a 9% increase with the larger valves, assuming that the valves are the limiting factor.

I've been waiting years to post in this thread! Can I play too? The paint is single stage Omni by PPG, Color code 882. Two coats of primer followed by five coats of base. It's excessively thick but I got some pretty bad runs on my first coat that I wanted to make sure I had the depth to be able to color sand out Sorry the pics are flipped. I'm posting from my phone.

How much would you ask including shipping to 98408?

Thanks for the heads up. Wish he would ship!

Bump

Looking for the hard line that bolts to the intake at the head and feeds a set of SU carbs. Please respond with a picture and an asking price including shipping to zip 98408. Doesn't need to be pretty since it's for an autoX car. Functional is all I need. Examples can be seen in these pics:

Doesn't look like a VG to me...

X2 on the IR. I run a similar one to what Andy posted and am very happy with it. It is loud, but I have it in another room of the shop behind a door.
