Hi everyone

My 76 280z doesn't pass smog and I have been working on that for quite a while now (Gross polluter, major CO emissions, everything else is very good). I have done lots of research and a lot of you guys have made helpful suggestions and here's what I've done:

Cat is on

Ignition timing at 12 BTDC (Stock is 10 BTDC)

TPS adjustment

New fuel filter

New fuel pressure regulator

No kinks or blockage in fuel feed line, fuel pressure OK

Valve adjustment

New oil + filter

Cold start valve OK

Seafoam in tank + intake

Cleaned up and re-soldered injector connectors

Removed oxidation from dizzy cap + rotor

Adjusted AFM ~6 teeth leaner

 

I have been told by MSA (where PO bought it from) that my rebuilt AFM is the wrong one for my year (A11 600 000)

I have recieved a very reliable tip that my AFM is causing problems

I was hoping that I could compensate by simply adjusting it. Possible? or no?

 

Today, I visited someone for parts, and he told me that all rebuilt AFMs are crap, and the only good ones are OEM ones. Something about the replacement counterweight being different. Maybe he told me this just so I would buy it. Is this true?

 

I also have what sounds like a misfire from the exhaust (uneven put put put when I put my hand in front of the exhaust) Could this also be a symptom of my AFM mishap?

So what do you guys think? Please help, I'm almost done, and I'm so anxious to finally pass smog!

 

I'll take a pic of my AFM asap. THANK YOU!
