Man I forgot how great it is to work on a stocko 240!

 

My 71 240 is coming along very well. I've worked on it a couple of hours almost every day this week.

 

Finished list: (its bigger than the todo list)

wired up reverse lamp switch (replaced switch and wires)

balanced carbs

set idle

freed up the throttle linkage (was sticking)

got the license plate light working.

freed up the wiper linkages

plumbed the washer bottle hoses.

mounted 280 front signal lights in the MSA air dam (temporary till I find some nicer lights

Installed new rear carpet.

detailed interior/vacuum

detailed engine bay/clean up

set up timing.

checked/gapped plugs

checked all fluids

rewired fuel pump

replaced some vacuum lines

cleaned grounds/misc wire connections

checked alt volts

checked battery

checked coil

 

 

Car is about ready to go.

I need a new master brake cyl rear brakes are contaminated...may need rear cyl, and flex lines.. not sure..

replace manifold gasket. Minor leak.

Install new drivers seat (have one)

move fuel pump location (electric fuel pump now)

Thats it.

It starts easy, idles pretty good except for the mild exhaust leak. Drives nice when it has gas in the tank...(don't ask)

 

Its a great little car!

You've been busy lately! Just thinking... would a 280zx brake M/C + booster be of any use to you? I happen to have one here... oh, and a pair of 3 screw SU's in pieces too.. (I'm trying to clean up the garage a bit ) Soo... what are you up to on the 30th?

They are amazing easy cars to work on. A month ago I finished doing a suspension under a E36 BMW and I just finished a complete suspesnion under a 240Z. Night and day difference.
