So ill give a short story to defend my stupid mistake, the most embarrassing mistake ever but atleast I have the balls to admit it was me and not "a friend" or "a drunk guy" long shitty day at school, left lights on before my classes, dead battery, ask girlfriend for jump, cross wires in my moronic near-sleep, and smoke. it cranks with cables hooked up properly now. I tried to ghetto rig some new wires with alligator clamps as new fusible links just to see if it would start or not. Im thinking no spark but ill have to check for sure tomorow while im by it and have a screwdriver. Question is, what the hell did I do to it, and how do I get it out of the school parking…

Hello, The headlights on my 1975 280Z does not work. I used a test light to test the three wires that plug onto the headlight and no power. The park lamps turn on. The turn signals don't. The high beams don't work either. I also noticed that at the steering column, there is a black (thin) wire that is not connected anywhere. My guess is that it should connect to the ignition?? I cannot remember the color of the other wire to the ignition, (White and red, or red)... but should the black wire also go to the ignition. Is the open black wire at the steering column the reason the headlight is not working? What can I do to get the headlights working? Please help.

OK, It's been discussed to death but I am having an issue with my tach after the 280zx electronic dizzy conversion on my 72 240z with an auto. I think all is hooked up properly but here we go..... the green wire that was hooked to the ballast risistor is hooked up to the + on the coil. So are both of the b/w wires and the one wire going to the "B" on the module. The - on the coil is hooked up to the "C" on the module. The tach does nothing and was working before. I have read a couple post here and on other boards that say that you need to hook the b/w that is hooked to the coil and that when removed makes the car die to the green. then do these just stay not conne…

just got this z and it doesn't run. the previous owner told me he drove to work one day, and we he went to leave, it wouldn't start. so i popped the hood and found this and shook my head in disgust. i think these are relays(question 1) guessing he was trying to bypass something for a temp fix? the one on the left looks a lil toasted next, there are some wires just dangling by the battery

I am looking to replace my injector wires as mine are cracked where they meet the injectors. I got on Ebay and did a search and found a link to several different wires, the first link belongong to MSA and then a couple more that look the same but for ALOT less money. Anyone used these? Are they junk? Any suggestions on replacing mine other than these?

I am installing the 280zx dizzy and e12-80 module in my son's car. I don;t know if I have something way off or what but I am getting no spark at all. Just a couple questions......Maybe I did something wrong. The 280zx dizzy is mounted 180 degrees off of what the 72 240z dizzy was....Is that correct? The B goes to the + ignition source and the C goes to the - on the coil. Is there any way to bench test the e12-80 module? Any help would be great! Thanks, Mike guzinski@comcast.net

I have a 1975 280z and I want to test the pump on the windshield washer bottle. Is there a way to connect it directly to the battery to get power to it? There are only two wires coming from the pump, one that is Black with a yellow stripe and another that is Blue with a red stripe. Any help would be great on the matter. Also, what voltage does the pump work at? I assume 12volt, but some things work on other voltages. Ciao,

Someone replaced the ingition switch in my 71 with a junkyard take off from some other car. It fit, but was upside down. Well it locked up on me while the car was running so I had to kill the car then disconnect the batt. Lucky for me the Dealer was able to order a brand new factory switch for $129. I bypassed the swith intill my new one came in. About a 10 min install. If you need a replacement switch for a restoration job the dealer still has them but are getting harder to find.

'70 Z. My tach is seating at 200-300 reading when the engine is turned off. It gradually seats to zero after about 30 seconds and/or when I tap the dash. Is this a matter of a failing tach or is there dirt in the way somewhere? Coil connection is tight. Would you assume or speculate that I should use the added 200 - 300 rpm reading when determining actual red-line? Thanks for your help! Regards,
