WELCOME, Jay! We're very glad to add another of the unique 260s to the Club's Cyber Stable, and that one is a beauty. We have added about 3 260s in recent months and have been discussing them at length. You will find a number of proud 260 owners in here who will want to exchange info with you. Hoping to meet you this coming year and Zeeing your 260 in person. In the meantime, pleaZe stay in touch with us here on the Club website. Z-talk helps some of us remain semi-sane while the cars are hibernating. Frank T |

Well that's pretty exciting so far. I guess what I like most is that you know your Z's history. I'll save my 50 questions until you finish your story. I might get answers before I ask them! Frank |

I just had the pleasure of meeting Vinni Bedini today. My friend and I drove to Vinni's shop to buy a pair of transmissions he rebuilt for us. What a really nice guy he is! We had a great time hanging out with him and he seemed happy to answer all our Z questions. Also he had several Z projects under way which he gave us the background on. Several engine projects too!

Great story on the resurrection of your 260Z Jay! When you put your heart and sole into an old car like that, it becomes part of you. I know, I've had my '71 240 for all it's life. I just wish I looked as good as it does. Welcome to the family. |

Thank you John! I'm so glad I found this club! What a great group this is, I can't wait to meet everyone. I've admired your Z in the members rides section many times, that's a gorgeous car! I'd love for mine to be that nice someday. I'm anxious to see it in person! Jay |

Thank you Jay. From the effort you are putting into your Z you are well on the way to creating a stunning example of a 260Z! She looks great already! I also look forward to meeting up with you and your Z |

Jay, tell us about your cam and distributor, pleaZe? |

Sure. My distributor is the original unit, just with a fresh cap and rotor. It must be electronic though, as there are no points and condenser to service (thank goodness). I left the cam selection up to Phil at the machine shop. He chose a mild compcams part, part number 84-119-6. It's very mild, the specs are 252 degrees adv. duration, 204 @50, and only .410" lift intake and exhaust. It makes power off idle to about 5500 rpm I find, and idles very smoothly. Jay |
