I did need to re-route my valve cover breather to a mini filter that hangs down below, and I also added a barb to connect the breather for the fuel vapor line. The SU Carb breather hoses are still connected and are positioned "down" in case the floats ever get stuck.
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

Performance Upgrade - Needles & Filters
After owning the 240z for several years, I [finally] upgraded the fuel model needles from the M58 smogger needles to the original N27 needles. At the same time I purchased a set of K&N filters and mini-velocity stacks. The car does pull harder now when I accelerate and overall I'm happy with the results.
