[new 240 rebuild, will not start.]

I Checked all the above recomendations and nothing. Does the distributer drive look like it could be a tooth off?

this happened to me on my rebuild, it looked right just like in the pic, but i was a tooth off, after i moved it a tooth, no more problems...i went thru the exact same symptoms as you..try moving it a tooth, u can always move it back..

hope u get it figured out!

[Change in ignition timing with cam]

thanks mikebz, thats good info, im still hoping someone with my same setup ( or close to it) can tell me what worked best for them...i dont really like to let my engine suffer detonation if i can help it...but if i must, i must, i'll give the post a little longer before i start messing with it more..

well after playing with it alot........im sticking with 17 btdc, that setting has given me the best power and drivability, while maintaining expected gas milage. total advance is 38-39 degrees. still gonna hook up a pertronix soon!

[Change in ignition timing with cam]

5-6 inital seems a little low to me. Use a dial back timing light to figure out your total ignition advance. 34-38 degrees total is a good ball park. But really, detonation determines how far you can go.

 

I searched "total ignition advance" and found some great topics.

 

Here is some great info from BRAAP

[Change in ignition timing with cam]

hey people, i've been lookin all around for some info on this, maybe someone here can give me some more insight as to what ignition timing i should have my engine set at with the cam i have.

motor is L26, 10.5:1 CR (crane reccomends at least 10:1) dished pistons, early SU's, ztherapy SM needles, everything else stock.

i've set it to 5-6 degrees initial timing, with carbs synched, it revs pretty nice. just want to make sure (with out a dyno) that i'm squeezing out all the power i can with this cam setup at this timing setting. maybe someone could share with me how i'd figure out how much advance i'd need?

 

cam specs

Overlap of 47.00 degrees and has in Intake Duration of 262.00 degrees. The Exhaust Duration is 272.00 degrees. The Inlet Cam has an Installed Centerline of 109.00 degrees ATDC. The exhaust cam has an Installed Centerline of 111.00 degrees BTDC.

set intake valves to .15mm and .2mm exhaust , hot

 

timing @.254mm

22 IO btdc

60 IC abdc

67 EO bbdc

25 EC atdc

 

thanks!

[SU rebuild kit]

looking for a rebuild kit for my early style round top 4 screw su's, these kits should contain the same parts for each carb, not front and rear carb specific.

[WTB timing indicator pointer]

Is this the numbered one or the arrow one? As in, are the hash marks on your pulley or on the marker?

im really not sure if it came with the numbered or arrowed one......anyone know which one was stock on a L26 (piece mounted on oil cover)

[WTB timing indicator pointer]

any one have one? this is for a L26 btw

[sem trim black]

I sand blasted mine and then painted them with a spray can paint... Hasnt come off yet...

 

wow im great at readin... i'll use the "its been a long day" excuse

[sem trim black]

i think the window trim wouldn't be abrasive enough for the paint to stick very well..sand it down, rough it up a little:) it'll stick

[1971 240Z Xenon Urethane Air Dam]

totally agree with that from exp bonitoz

[sem trim black]

great, that would be appreciated

[sem trim black]

saw somebody in a thread mention this for someone that wanted a good flat black paint. i too am also interested in starting off w/this on my 240, any one got any pics of whatever they've painted w/ the SEM trim black??
