Looks and sounds even better.

There is a company in the USA making those injectors new, they are the same part number as a Nissan zx of the same vintage. I just did a 4.5 D-jet 280SEL (1971).

It sounds like Christine. What's up with the rough exhaust note? I don't think this was factory level. I was invited on a joy ride as passenger in a 280SE 3.5 convertible, it sounded a lot smoother. And by the way, that one most time cruising at 1500rpm (country road).

Different exhaust, giving that vintage V8 sound.

[@tonychavez2083]

Definitely not factory set up. Should be much quieter.

Helpful old school hint. Any car with the license plate fuel filler. Jam the gas cap in fold of the plate. Walla... Bobs your uncle... You don't have to hold it down. You're welcome. If that car ever comes up for sale. Wow I'd give all the money for it.

[@DCMotorWerks]

I’ll have to try that!

With my old cars that i don't use often I only use ethanal free fuel , Cost me more than you are paying
