[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8911065, member: 683408"] You really need to educate yourself before you speak, kid. Your "gotcha" moments are a colossal fail, every time. I don't expect you to remember every post I make, or every detail I share about me, but don't be dumb enough to attempt a "gotcha" when you obviously have no clue. Do your homework. The '77 and '78 280Z had hood louvers. They added them to combat vapor lock in the fuel injection system. Pre-'77 did not have the louvers, I replaced a '77 hood with a pre-'77 hood. They were identical in fit from the 240Z to the end of the 280Z series in 1978, so it was a four-bolt swap that took probably 20 minutes. I also added a cooling fan scavenged off of a later turbo ZX, and wired it to a factory-looking switch in the dash, below the radio. Neither of which helped the fan clutch or the clogged radiator I had to replace. Yeah, I have a pic or three. Somewhere in a 7' bookshelf of photo albums, that I have to digitize from my parents' estate . Would you like to come over and do some scanning for me? My ZX on the lift. Not BBS wheels. Hayashi. The lift had a bad habit of creeping down overnight. Had to be sure the lock engaged once up. Outside that window was a Boars' head delivery truck that my customer paid to park there when not delivering. Also, stacks of tires and a crate of metal to be recycled.
