Funny story about my Datsun Z

It was probably over 30 or more years ago It quit in a parking lot

An older car guy came over to help me, this 19 year old kid with his 6 year old rusted out Datsun
He had tons of knowledge and told me about some of the real cool street cars and race cars he built

He asked me to pop the hood, then proceeded to attempt to lift the hood from the front.
(The hood lever forward from the back )

When he finally was able to look under the hood, his eyes got big with shock, he stepped back and told me he knew nothing about what he was looking at, and wished me luck as he drive away

An older neighbor helped me once I got towed home
He diagnosed spark and fuel, but the car still didn’t run.

I later self diagnosed that 5lbs fuel pressure was not enough. The fuel pump ran, but it needed to produce 60lbs

Not many car guys knew that 30 years ago.

( these days I’m learning about Webers from an old car guy)
