You are correct, it is under the manifold. I'll look at junk yards and see if I can get in touch with Borini. I need some Z contacts around here, so that you much!

I have a 1981 280ZX (build date 2/81) with 5 speed manual. Today when searching for another problem I noticed this noise like a deathrattle/pebble in a can/hissing vacuum leak/farting through a harmonica coming from this strange device on the intake manifold. This was at operating temperature at idle (750+- 50). Turns out that is the B.C.C.D. Another forum indicated that this forum might have a whole thread on BCCD "refresh". I can't find it. Does anyone know of such a thread they can point me to? Does anyone know of a good place to get a rebuild kit, or rebuilt BCCD? Does anyone know of a true replacement for it? I read of some people removing them but there doesn't seem to be a lot of thought going into that plan.... If there is some thought I'd love to hear it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If anyone is interested I will also post in either projects or emissions about my other questions, but that is a long story with a laundry list of repairs. Thanks
