Thanks! Im glad someone likes it! I tried to use as many aerodynamic enhancements as I could fabricate. Ive got to toss on the headlight covers hopefully this weekend. This project is coming to an end.

its finally all one color!

yeah haven't even had it a week and somebody hit it.

Okay grumpy looking for some tips on my timing. The motor is a 350 stock block and pistons. Ive got some world heads with 2.02 and 1.6 valves 1.6 roller rockers. 1 5/8 block hugger headers Hei dizzy with a mallory hyfire ignition system. My cam is a 278/280 duration. Im running a holly 4150 750cfm carb Eldebrock performer intake manifold. Behind the motor is a turbo400. Just got everything setup looking for a good place to start with my timing.

The Ez harness is crap. If I remember correctly the ez harness has a third break light wire that runs to the rear section of the harness just use that.

anybody tried seat heaters im thinking of snagging a pair?

Thanks for the pics of the gas cap looks great aftermarket for a CBR? I may have to copy that look sorry its just too good ! Not only that but where did you find one that matches the curve of the datsun so well?

Search in the Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis section and you will find your answer.

Looks amazing! I personally hate the EZ harness, I've had several issues with mine most related to build quality! (of course some related to me) However I would in the future go ahead pay the extra cash and buy the painless!

Looks great do you have any close up pics of the gas cap?

Well I did some thinking and some calling, and the manufacture recommended some different head gaskets. So I went ahead and ordered them and a far superior intake manifold gasket. Its worth the extra hundred dollars for my piece of mind. At that changing head gaskets wont take that long! In the end grumpy thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Thanks Grumpy ! Ill tear It down take a look and report my findings! My findings should be conclusive correct IE the pressure exerted on the gaskets/manifold under operating conditions shouldn't yield different results from the standing test correct?

Grumpyvette I hope you can help me with this one (or at least confirm my suspicions). I just finished re-assembling my motor (350 small block I stepped up to some nice dart heads!). As I was filling the radiator with fluid I noticed a small leak coming from the back of my intake manifold (an Edelbrock Performer). I got out my torque wrench and followed the torquing pattern and re-torqued the intake manifold to 25lds. This seemed to stop the leaking. However as I went on filling my radiator I noticed that fluid was disappearing. I went ahead and opened the drain plug on my oil pan and found the fluid! To confirm that I still had some kind of leak I waited until the pan was dry, and then filled my radiator again. To my horror it began leaking again. Now I went hunting for the source of the problem I suspect/ed the intake manifold so I figured I'd try and rule out any other possible problems. So I started with the heads under the assumption that if they had fluid in them they would not be the culprit. So I removed my Temp sensor and I had fluid, ditto for the other side. I'm hoping that rules out the possibility of problems in the heads/head gaskets. After looking at the head gaskets Mr. Gasket #720-101B standard material (When Installed the gaskets I put a coat of gasket glue around all the water passage points both on the head and intake side) . I noticed that the ports around the water jackets have become moist and water soaked, they do not leak externally however they are visibly wet. Now, I am going to go out and buy some better intake manifold gaskets as I believe this is the problem? Is there any way that I can test my manifold itself for leaks? Am I on the right track/ any suggestions ?!

Looks Great !

I love this info !

Do what makes you happy. I'm thinking about selling my Z after I finish it in the next few weeks, Its the car I wanted a few years ago but now I'm a different person with different needs and views. Its sad that Ill have worked on it for nearly 4 years just to sell it but that's life, and my priority's are different now. I personally would like to snag an Is300 5 speed its a nice car and near my price range if I can get some dough for my Z.

Looks great. When blacking out the chrome are you just spraying primer then paint or are you using some kind of abrasive to make the paint stick to the chrome?
