The compression check showed bad results all at low pressure. The over heating problem continues.
So the car(1975 280z) has four major problems it overheats,(bad water pump maybe?), it has a really rough time turning on(cold start valve or sensor?), it turns off after running for about 5 minutes or so(has to be fuel injectors becomes sometimes it won't even idle and has to be turned on with starter fluid), white steam comes from where the valve cover meets the engine(bad head gasket)
I wanted to upgrade the fuel system while I rebuild the engine (which would take care of water pump, head gasket, and fuel system). I recently was given a junk 280zx and I'll be rebuilding both engines and stealing components off the zx.
