I am on the back end of a major electrical problem with my 76 280 and with all of the help from this forum hopefully the problem is going to be resolved. So I am moving on to a not so series electrical problem. My dash lights do not seem to work. The map light, if that is what it is called seems to be the only light that does work. Any suggestions. Sorry to those who helped with the other issue but just looking for a place to start on this one. Thanks.

Hey all . here is what I have going on . I just put back on rd after winter sleep and If i leave the headlight switch turned off ,all my electric works perfect . I turn the lights on and I loose my turnsignals and the interior signal indicator lights both stay on . My 4-way flasher works as new and when I engage the switch while the headlights are on , the interior signal lights will then cancel themselves . I have Dave Irwins headlights relay upgrade for two years now installed and I,m wondering is it a relay issue and how would I check that . Thankz for any help Chris

I have a 71 240Z an this is not the OEM distributor to my knowledge. My car came with a D615-52 which is currently on the car (but recurved from www.advanceddistributors.com). I have no idea what this came from. It was an ebay find that was just too inexpensive to pass up. I have ordered a new pertronix to put in it and new taylor wires to keep for another build I have in mind. Which year, make model came with a D611-54. Any idea?

Hello all, just after some advice regarding electronic ignition upgrades. I've seen a good deal on a crane xr3000 unit along with a high performance coil. I'm sure there's a few of you who have installed similar units and i was wondering what's involved and if there's any real difficulty/complications? Cheers

I've scoured the forum to find an answer or at least a similar problem to mine but to no avail. So here goes: I have a 72 240z currently running with pertronix ignition. It runs great excecpt the back of the ignition switch gets hot. A few years back i had the same problem but didnt catch it in time and a wire going to my ignition switch got hot and melted the plug on the back of it. The morons who replaced the plug cut the wires instead of pulling them out of the burnt plug and then replaced the plug. Long story short, i had to replace the pertronix back to points. After the car sat for some time and when I had the money to replace the pertronix I did. Now I'm having…

I'm trying to fix my night lights and i found the reason for the problem ( burned switch contact) but when I'm trying to hook up it up to the headlight switch by adding a relay hoping it would solve the problem. BTW I didn't even get a chance to hook the wires together to my headlights switch and now my headlights went out. I don't know why it no long work...now I'm trying scratch my head to diagnose the problem. Can anyone help me. I don't know a lot about electrical but just enough to hook relay to headlights. I did manage to took some pics to see it anyone can help me.

OK - this item is on the firewall of my 73 240z, on the passenger side near the battery. As you can see it is looking every bit of its 39 years. My question - what is it and what does it do? Thanks for any help you can provide!

To all the electric gurus, I need a pulsed negative for my Speedhut tach. Can I tap the #4 pin at the ECU to achieve what I need? Is this a reasonable solution? Suggestions? I have the FSM and a color schematic of the electrical system but reading an electrical diagram is not my strong suit. Well, ok, I'm a wiring theory moron but more than capable of soldering and heat shrinking. Thanks! '78 280z
