or fuel hose. last time i checked, its not a special hose thats going under any special conditions. and ALL the hoses on the old S30's (that were carb'd) had this shitty braided hose used. its complete crap hose also. i would replace all of it.

 

it comes into contact with fuel vapors. the guy said that the fumes will eat through the lines

 

Go buy fuel hose from AdvanceAutoParts or autozone and quit over analyzing this crap. It is a hose. Period. if you aren't sure, don't use vacume line. just replace it all with Fuel line. beleive me, it can handle contact with gasoline fumes. its kinda what its designed for. and fuel line is one of those dirt *** cheap parts. Theres nothing special about it. It is a hose. it transports your fuel from point A. (fuel tank) to point B. (combustion chamber). Go buy some. i'd send you some of mine, but the shipping would cost more than the hose does. (hint hint)

(you'll have to forgive my dick-ism, but this is getting a little redundant. You sound alot like i did when i first got here. You sound like you is scared of your own car. buddy, they aren't that complicated. espcially not the old ones. )

 

ok thank you JP

 

ok so i found out that the person before me thought that you had to tighten the screw under the carbs all the way tight. so can i run the car without the orange air filter?

 

you can, but you shouldnt. u suck something up like sand or w/e you could potentially fry your motor

 

cause i was going to keep it off till after i adjust my carbs. how bad could the carbs being tightened all the way be on the car's performance?

 

If you're talkin about the knurled screws it won't idle. Tighten them to stop and back out about 2 1/2 to 3 turns. Start the car and turn one in untill it sarts to die the back out 1/4 turn. Do the same for the other. You might have to adjust the idle speed too.

 

ok and how do i sync my carbs?

 

With a carb synchrometer. Here... let me type "SYNC" into the ZDriver search for you.

i know but what do i move?is there a screw or a lever or what? im not understanding. a pic would be perfect.

 

Page 55 of the 240Z / 260Z Haynes manual.

 

i hate to see what your parents had to go through to get you to pee and crap in a toilet.

 

i have the chiltons

 

for learning to poop? thats strange

 

for the 240z and i got the hoses now im going to bring my z back to life!

 

throw that chilton away and go get you a haynes. They're far more accurate.

 

ok but till i find one what do i move on the car to sync it? is it a lever or screw or what?

 

screw m m m m m (character count)

 

As my dad would say: "BOY! ARE YOUR LEGS BROKE OR SOMETHING?!"

Can you not go to your local parts store and buy a friggin Haynes manual?

Here's a scan of that page:

 

im holding out my hand, but im just going to tug it away as you reach out

 

what for? and thank's nismo

 

i got her running but now i need to adjust the carbs(started raining while i started adjusting them) i feel more comfortable working on my car now

 

good stuff. you do have a VERY good idea of how to do that don't you?

 

yes!!!thank you all i appreciate your guys patience and advice and diagrams. without you there would still be one more dead z out there in the world!
