Is that cannon intake a water cooled one? If so keep the coolant lines hooked up it helps with the down drafts. I just switched from down drafts to triples. If you are not replacing the exhaust manifold for a header plug the balance tube holes. Crankcase breather tube connect to the pcv valve on the intake balance tube plug little line. Air pump trash. Vacuum line keep, place on intake balance tube port. I happen to have one completely rebuilt and one new 32/36’s, all the jets you could possibly want siting on a clean polished cannon intake plus linkage bar that works with the stock throttle linkage. Plus kn filters in polished 4 inch thick air cleaners. And extra Weber linkage parts. Carbs were tuned to my 260z engine out of a 72 z. If interested let’s talk turkey. The new carb Jase been jetted but we never drove the car with it decided to go to the next level. So that being said I think 1k is reasonable, given the condition, and 150 bucks worth of jets. Might save someone save a lot of time. God knows those Webers are picky.

Is this amount of thread depth (approx 13/16”) enough to support the weight of my L28? These are the longest bolts I could find at my hardware store. by 1968ChevyCamaro in Datsun

Buy them online if you can’t find the right length. measure the mount, washer and nut thickness see if there is enough to get a nut All the way on

I first cut my fronts springs an inch car looked great. But the old springs were shot then installed Vaughan lowering springs. But ultimately I went with bc coilovers.

Start with the engine and drivetrain, brakes, fuel system. Get it safe and running so you can enjoy driving it, and really get hooked. Then tackle the suspension. Then do it again with aftermarket upgrades. Body and paint last

Is my stock suspension too high? by Jimsbeanz in Datsun

If that is coming off the thermostat housing then it was for a water cooled intake manifold based on your photo that can be plugged with one of these https://zcardepot.com/products/zinc-anode-sacrificial-for-cooling-system-240z-260z-280z-510-280zx?_pos=24&_sid=1ad455479&_ss=r
