Thanks! Mark is a Weber synching wizard and I just rebuilt the triple Webers... I am having him synch the carbs and get it all tuned at sea level, then I will haul it over the hill and change the jetting for 4500' above sea level... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I saw your cars yesterday Rob. Drove my 74 to Marks yesterday for him to look it over and some fine tuning. I love your Z, very nice car, makes me wish I would have kept my 72.

They're in good hands though, Mark does great work!

LOL!! The Cap'n will love this! After I rebuilt the carbs and reinstalled everything, I spent weeks trying to get the darn thing to run. I thought I screwed the pooch rebuilding the carbs but how? You just take them apart and clean them and put them back together. So I take it to Mark.

Being of the same era, Z's were treated kind of like 914's at the dealership. Although the factory never had an original alloy wheel for the Z until the 280Z (IIRC), the dealership would pull off the original wheels and put an aftermarket alloy on to pump up their profit margin. Mine came with a slotted dished wheel. I do still have them, but finding good 14" tires for them is difficult and given my propensity for track days, autocrossing and generally exploring limits, I can't compromise with tires.

I'm jealous, my wife made me sell my last Z, a black 77', when we first moved overseas (prior to cell phones).

Hmmm, I don't miss that damn aluminum head issue though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I have my eye on a low mileage original Z stashed on a garage about a mile from my house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Just waiting to pounce... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

It's absolutely not a problem as long as you don't ever overheat Wing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I never saw that picture Rob. See if you can find it! I did a search and it seems that you are talking about the Borderline video. When I search I can't find it. Warner Bros. has had the video pulled everywhere it pops up. From the chatter on Classic Z site, she sprawls across a white 280ZX and in the last part spray paints on it?

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away; back when the 240Z first came out, I knew a guy who had to have one in Silver. For those of you who are too young to remember, it was 'The' hot car, and they were being brought in very slowly; waiting lists and all that. It took him about 6 months to finally get one in Silver (he refused a number of other colors to wait for one). He had it for an hour and a half and rolled it......

Yes, often mated to a 700R4 transmission. Ultimate sleeper if done right! Homey don't play that way. Not that I would kick it out of my driveway for leaking oil but I like to work around the original platform. I have begun collecting parts to do a 2.8 turbo with MegaSquirt.
