Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my Blog devoted to the restoration of my 1972 Datsun 240z. I purchased it in 2013 and have been actively working on my driving-restoration, so I can enjoy the car rather than having it in pieces for years. Please enjoy the write-ups below, as well as the how-to's. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any comments or questions. Thanks. - Dave

Carb #1 rebuild

I started to pull carb #1 apart today to clean it and then rebuild it. 40 years of grease & gunk was quite a mess to clean up! I do plan on polishing the dome before I put it back together with the ZT performance rebuild kit.  The rebuild on the first carb went very well, these SU's are fairly simple to work on.



Initial disassembly


Dome, spring, piston, and N57 needle


Float and bowl top


Carb body and butterfly


Further disassembly


One rebuilt and cleaned, one to go
