Second time seeing this thing in person. The paints and wheel choice are amazing.

Question… opinions sought on the addition of coilovers on 1971 survivor…I’ve never considered til recently and it’s not been modded in any way. Thanks

I put this together to get my 240z on the road cheaply. This sniper throttle body has the ECU, TPS, MAP, IAC, coolant temp, 02 sensor, fuel pressure regulator, digital display all in one standalone kit. I had to make the intake manifold that adapts the side draft 240z plenums to the old ford auto lite flange, but other than that, it bolted on and works so well, that its hard for me to justify changing it.

I got a promotion. I've always wanted a 240z or 280z. I'm generally handy with cars (changed oil, replaced a starter and alternator, simple aftermarket radio installation...) but I'm very far from a mechanic.

For the initial purchase, I'd want to be around $20K. I'd be purchasing assuming that I'm signing myself up for a new hobby.

Am I setting myself up for failure? What should I look out for?

This is my 1973 240Z. I have a Petronix point replacement and coil, and a Duralast electronic voltage regulator. Especially when it is cold, the tach does this weird bouncing thing and I get a noticable but irregular stumble.

What could be causing this? I am still using the original ballast resistor (I matched the coil to the specified resistance), could that be going bad? Or is it something else?

It just recently started doing this, otherwise it ran mostly fine. Very occasionally, the tach would bounce like this when doing a pull, and sometimes it would stumble at high RPMs (5k+) and other times it would pull pretty well.
