  1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191584134372?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I have an 87 Buick Turbo T. Gauging interest in trading for a very nice 240z. Located in Jackson, MS. I can be reached at 601-613-2184 Thanks for looking! - Paul
  2. My set has leaky throttle shafts and is all kind of funky running. I would like a set of round top Su's , in running shape to try to get mine running correctly.
  3. Itzgoten, After sitting here for 2 hours reading your thread up to 9 pages. You have built a magnificent car, props to you, and please keep up the pictures, its nice to be able to see someones work.
  4. This is pretty epic. I love seeing how all of this stuff breaks down, Please update more.
  5. Unplug the feed line and recirculating line from the tank, and from the fuel rail, blow compressed air through the line and it'll knock some of it out. And clean the injectors, buy a can of seafoam and put it in the tank of full gas. After which , update us.
  6. Well I bit the bullet and took them off and cleaned them, i figured if they'd been sitting for any amount of time, they'd be gummed up, everything seemed pretty clean , except for on the needle itself, where it seats into the choke, there are indention, seemingly indicative of (for lack of a better term) slamming down too hard. And its not letting any airflow through ( i blew through it) but if you pull the choke, its as if you're manually pulling away from the needle and allowing fuel to come through. Maybe i need new needles because they are sticking due to being worn out? Also , I do not have 600 dollars to drop on a brand new set of Z car therapy Carbs.
  7. Well guys, i was going to say, the float bowls are full at the time when it does all of this. you can drop the screw and gas pours out , so the bowls are definitely full , its a starvation problem, not a drowning problem.
  8. First of all, I recently purchased a 74 260z from a gentleman, the car is everything i've wanted in a Z car, with the exception of a running engine. I've read up TONS of "Search button" topics, and looked all through diagrams of these darn carbs but cannot seem to figure the damn things out. The carbs that are on the car are a set of 3 screw bottle top SU's, im assuming late model 72's that the gentleman put on there, when i bought the car, he said i could fill the bowls of the carbs up with gas and it'd run like a champ and that it had only sat up for long enough for the gas to go slightly bad, but the fuel pump wasn't kicking on, so what i did was after purchasing said beautiful car, i went to my local autozone and bought a Mr.Gasket 5-7lb fuel pump, i am now getting fuel TO the carb, but couldn't get the car to run. The engine would just spin over, can spray fuel in it, and it runs off of that like a champ. But soon as the fuel dies out, so does the motor. So in screwing with these things ( not knowing what i was doing) i found out how the choke works on them, (the lever isn't working seemingly) i could pull down on the bottom of them , and the choke applys, i got in the car, and BAM fired right up, until the vibration of the engine closes the choke, and it dies, i let it sit for about 10 min running on its own on a nice warm day (65) and then let the slide back up, and it just died , even under constant rev. I just don't know what would cause that, for them to run perfect up until that point. It had SOME bad gas in it, but the bowls looked clean and so did inside of the carb and needle , no clog between the bowl and carb, due to being able to spray fuel between the both of them and it come out both sides. I just cannot figure it out, is this so simple that im overlooking whats going on? HELP! (Ps, im taking the wing off )
  9. I've searched the forums best i could, really didnt find anything that satisfied my answer, but i have a L28 engine im building, purchased a stage 3 clutch for the 81-89 300ZX NT 280ZX TURBO and i was told i had the "big flywheel" which was supposed to fit the 9" disc, but doesnt match up, what are the sizes? i have a 83 zx block/flywheel, im at a loss here and am not sure where to go from there , trying to bolt it to the factory 4spd, and frustration insues. Can someone point me to what the right size flywheel i need is? Here is the clutch i purchased http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170265854181&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem= Please give some insight as i am lost. thanks! Paul
