Hi all,
My resto doesn't look anywhere near as ambitious as some of the others I've seen here but maybe it will be interesting for some of you.
72 240z with a 2.8. Plan is to get it running and roadworthy, then in a year or 2 spray it black and get the engine reconditioned.
Very little (visible) rust so hopefully not much needs doing in this department
Starts (hesitantly) but isn't road registered yet.
I think there may be an issue with the cold start valve, or general fuel pressure as it takes quite a while to first start up.
Anyway, i was wondering if anyone could share some theories on why the previous owner would have bypassed the air flow regulator?
Could this be anything to do with my hesitant start issue?
I'd like to keep the EFI if at all possible
I've attached a few pics for reference
Cheers
Alex
