I bought the book from amazon for $25. It will be here tomorrow with free one day shipping. Amazing. I would do the cardone replacement but I am having a hard time finding a master cylinder that is an early style tandem with the large reservoir in front.

Thanks for the info. I know I have a lot of research ahead of me. I couldn't find out if early series 2 cars have series 1 parts on them that are not found on the later series 2 cars. For example my car is a 1971 with reclining seats. Most seat cover vendors list the reclining seat covers starting in 1972. The master cylinder and the shift boot are other examples of differences I have found. Are there other instances where this might apply? I like to be careful ordering parts over the internet. You can't take the old parts off and compare them with new ones at the auto parts store. Bill

Hello, I have a 1971 Series 2 240z that I bought last weekend. The condition is good and the car is 100% original. It had been sitting for ten years. With some regular maintenance (like replacing every singe rubber part) it will be a really nice dependable car. I have a laundry list of maintenance items but have never owned or worked on a 240z. I changed the fluids, unstuck a wheel cylinder, and got tires. Now it is safe to drive. It has a build date of 6/71. I am a little confused because, it looks like the car has some parts from a series 1 and some from the series 2. I want to keep it as close to original as possible and make sure I order the right stuff. I am starting with the brake system rebuild and would like to rebuild the master cylinder. I have an early style tandem master cylinder, the one with the large reservoir in the front. Will this kit work for it? https://zcardepot.com/products/brake-master-cylinder-rebuild-kit-72-78?variant=19281437982833# I am also ordering seat covers. My seats recline so I am ordering the seat covers from the 72-73 car. Has anyone ordered the upholstery kit and foam inserts from the z store? are they good quality? Also, my outer shift boot doesn't have a string on it like the 72-73 shift boots you can order. Did the series 2 cars have a string and the series one cars not have it? 40-2640L Upholstery Kit, Black, 72-73 240Z 40-2691 Molded Foam Inserts, 70-78 240Z-260Z-280Z (per seat) 40-2502 Outer Shift Boot, 70-71 240Z
