Mr Pirl ,
First off ,No the 240 Z float is different . It is a hinged on the cover
design . Yes ,it can be substituted with proper adjustment ,however .
Second off , If you don't like mail ordering parts ,and parts that are
not available or local , You Need to Sell this Car !!!
My best advice to somebody that thinks driving an over 40 year old car
and one of Datsun's/Nissan's hardest to buy
replacement parts for .
Good Luck !
