However, if the head has been shaved you might need mid grade or even premium. Set the timing to spec, yours should be TDC unless you have a recurved dizzy. While driving in 3rd gear at about 2000 rpm floor the gas petal. This is lower RPM and higher gear that you would normally use. If you get no pinging then advance the timing a little and try again. You should get a small amount of pinging under a lugging condition. If it pings like crazy at stock timing then you need to go to a higher octane. keith williams In a message dated 12/31/2011 5:11:55 P.M.

I am using Yokohama's in 175-70-14 on stock steelies on my early '67. AFAIK my fenders are completely stock (ie not rolled), and there would be plenty of room for wider tires if you wanted to play with other sizes or tweak your fenders. I bought my sender from one of the vendors, but they occasionally show up on E-Bay if you are adventurous. Ditto for the instrument voltage regulator, just in case that needs to be replaced.

It idles OK, and runs great over 2000 RPM, but going from idle to speed it backfires through the carbs, stumbles and stalls. If the RPM is brought up slowly until over 2000 or so, it will run fine. I have the distributor cranked all the way to advance (CCW) to get it to run at all. I think I am missing something obvious. Vac advance works, points at .020, plugs at .028. The points keep closing up. I used silicone grease on the distributor cam, but the point follower seem to be wearing quickly. I do not have a working timing light. I confirmed firing order/plug wires. What am I missing? Could the distributor be a tooth off? Vacuum leak somewhere? I checked the hose from the back carb to the advance, it is fine. The problem gets worse the warmer the engine gets. I hate to admit defeat and throw myself on the mercy of the group, but this has got me flustered. Thanks in advance!

Timing, a vacuum leak, bad bearing in the distributor, cam chain or main chain off a tooth, carb problem. I had a carb problem on my 1969 2k like that due to jets that were too long, not correct for my carbs. I got them from Apple Hydraulic in New England, corrected the problem with properly rebuilt carbs from ZTherapy, but Jeff is a better choice, cheaper and at least as good, plus he'll help advise. I set up my carbs at idle and then jacked the idle with the throttle lock up to 3000 and readjusted mixture. It now runs like a cat on fire. A bad picture, but accurate. Awesome!

Don't forget the distributor timing plate has oval holes at both points. Ideally when the timing is correct, both bolts should be in the centre of the oval holes. If you have run out of adjustment in either direction, the base timing needs to be reset. TDC #1 on compression. Dist. can then be withdrawn from the drive gear. The relationship between the drive gear, camshaft and the distributor is fixed, but the drive gear to oil pump is not. So if the drive gear needs to be rotated one tooth, just rotate the oil pump accordingly. Then re-insert the drive gear to its new position. Re-insert the dist. The ignition points can now be re-adjusted to the new base timing. If you have rotated the drive gear in the correct direction you should now have plenty of adjustment range at the base of the distributor. You can also reset the timing plate at the base of the distributor to reflect TDC as well and then the A and R graduations can be used for minor adjustments from this base setting without requiring a Timing Light.

New points, plugs and condenser, possibly plug wires. Set the timing with a good DC powered light. Then I set the carbs. Balance the air flow first, then set the mixture. Some cannot be adjusted properly as a result of throttle shaft wear, or contact/wear between the needles and nozzles. It's not a huge investment in either money or time, but it pays dividends when you don't have to ask yourself whether its the ignition, carburetion, or whatever. FWIW. No, I am not a professional mechanic -- self-taught many years ago when I bought my first roadster.

I enjoy reading others posts. This is to let anyone who may be interested that there is a one-owner 240 Z with a 240 Z parts car for sale in central Texas. I received notification of this via a Z Club of Texas newsletter. (I have been a Z Club of Texas member since 1985.) The two cars were located about 6 miles from my home in Bangs, Texas, so I went to see them. They are sure enough "barn-finds". I have taken 16 photos in case anyone is interested. The parts car does not have a title. It is cleaner than many cars I have seen being restored. The other car, a one-owner belonged to the deceased son of the gentleman I met with. I am 68 years old and I bet he was 10 years older than me. The son was 54 and died by his own hand. A really sad story. If there is any interest let me know and I will email the photos along with contact info. There is even a car dolly for sale. My email address is mmast at universalprintingco.com Also, I have been a Roadster owner since about 1982 and have owned as many as five at one time. I am down to one 69 2000 which was really a 70 1600. I changed drive train from a 69 2000 along with the entire dash, including the 2000 VIN. Since I had the title to both cars I reregistered it in Texas as a 1969 2000. Since I am starting to down size I will be offering a load of used and NOS parts for sale. This includes a NOS 2000 head...the real thing, still in the original carton. It is not one of the forklift engine heads offered at one time by Rallaye. I bought it while trying to rebuild my current 2000 so I could determine how much had been shaved off the existing head. I found it while searching for collets. I got used ones from the gentleman in Blaine, WA. I found new ones and the head plus a few other parts from an outfit called Rising Sun Motors or Rising Sun Racing in Atlanta, GA. This was around 1995. The head is still in the original factory carton. Other parts include alternators, turn signal switch, ignition switch, fuel pumps, clutch slave cylinders, a rebuilt 5-speed plus loads of chrome, used and NOS. Any interest, let me know. Morey M.

(with a rollbar) The beetle must be shorter and wider in just the right manner. The mirror pockets are way out on the fenders, and there is that goofy sock for the angled antenna in the middle above the rear window, but just an alternative if you run across one. It is probably baggy enough that it might inflate and pull off upwards in a really stiff wind, but clings nicely around the fenders/bumpers and such. Fergus O currently in Ankara, Turkey. There are no vintage cars on the roads here, due to ~8 bucks a gallon prices. A turbo diesel Mazda3, 4 door, is averaging 48mpg. Sign me up! The driving is a bit like Talladega, and I mean like everyone at Talladega gets out and drives, the spectators, the trashmen, the concession carts, and the racers, every out there all at once. Miss an offramp? Don't worry, turn on the flashers, (which means "I am ready to break new ground") and then either reverse, or turn around and drive into oncoming traffic, but as long as ya got them blinkers on you are good to go.

The usual suspect is the drive pin that connects the 90-degree adapter to the drive inside the transmission. That pin is routinely lost when the adapter is disconnected from the transmission. You can see it sticking out in this pic: Full discussion here: ...or skip to the good news. Available from Napa...Item#: BK 6151831. I bought one in June. Your Napa may or may not have to special order it (mine did), which adds a few days. Works perfectly, just a slight PITA to install. I used some waterproof bicycle bearing grease (Phil Wood) I still have to hold it in place. NOTE: Pin only goes in one way though it appears to fit either way.

We got the old one out, but couldn't manuever the new one enough to line up correctly with the trans connection, so I got out my trusty rotary file and ground away at the opening some PO had made in the tunnel until we had enough clearance to work. Didn't take too much. Another reason why I didn't put a 5-speed into my '66 1600 when I gave it the U20 back in 1972.....(The local Datsun deale couldn't even tell me whether the 2000 engine would fit into a 1600and mate with the 4-speed.) Of course, being older and wiser, we all know today that the 1600 and 2000 blocks used the same casting. Just as a side note: During one of my visits to Downey (CA) Datsun, they had a brand-new 2000 and 5-speed sitting on the service department floor -- ordered form Japan for a customer who planned to replace his 1600/4-speed. I think the pair cost less than $1,000 at the time.

I've seen the market valuation slowly rise for these models in the 30+ years I've owned various examples. Buy low, sell high ! Finally I settled on a keeper and sunk some restoration money into it to drive and enjoy. ( A project that never ends, really.) A suggestion to consider downloading auction details and archiving them to help establish your insurance coverage on a car, since the Roadster hasn't been visible enough for underwriters to really get a good handle on. Even the agreed-value policies are bolstered by helpfully supplying such information.

Many years have passed since the Roadster was shunted aside by the new 240Z. I always was reluctant to get into the comparison and rivalry because the cars were built for different purposes.
