No High Beams 1 2 3

They were working as they are supposed to before the engine rebuild. I am fairly certain they worked a couple of times after as well, but maybe not. Anyhow.. the low beams work well. When I switch to high beams the indicator light comes on but the lights are completely dark. Switch back to low and they come back on. Any ideas?

I just got a 73 240Z and I'm having a problem with the interior lights. The dash lights sometimes cut off when the following things happen: Hit a hard bump Turn on the left blinker Just randomly More often than not it will just randomly cut off.. they will eventually come back on. When the lights go out the orange choke light will come on. One thing to note: The previous owner installed a CD player and it works great and always stays powered on while the rest of the dash lights go out. I am new to all this and really do appreciate any help anyone can give.

I was having problems with my interior lights and parking lights saying on. A nice member mentioned to check the fuse block. After I started digging around in there I noticed the fuse block had melted. That's really no surprise from what I hear. Here's the crazy thing: A previous owner had used wood glue to hold the melted fuse block together! Obviously now I need a new fuse block. Can anyone here recommend where I can find a new fuse block? My car is a 1973 240z. I have seen that some people sell an "updated" fuse block with the new style fuses (but they seem expensive). Has anyone used one of these? Any suggestions one where to buy an orginal? Thanks to ever…

Where in the world is the dimmer switch on a 73 240Z? I can't find it anywhere. Also, if anyone has any idea, I have two pull knobs under the dash on both sides... any idea what those are??

Had a great break with the car -- installed headlight relays, tightened up my shifter, put on a new water pump (those issues documented elsewhere) and dropped in a new alternator. I started the process with the alternator and realized I had the wrong one (one I ordered from e-bay -- I hadn't done my homework properly and ended up getting what was basically the same alternator). I went to advance and ordered a reman from an '83 280zx. It bolted in (mostly) without issue (the mounting holes were slightly too small, but I suspect my car and not the alternator was to blame there, easily remedied in any case), and wiring was pretty straightforward. I pulled the VR, snipped …

I have a 73 240,and was washing it today and noticed a darkened driver side tail light lense. I have a turbo muffler with a slash tip that sticks out even with the bumper guard. the clear back-up lense is particularly dirty. the drivers side on the back hatch mating surface is also discolored(painted recently) My question is I presume you have to take out the black plastic panelnext to the hatch to take the t.l. assmby out , but does the light housing separate from the lense? Is it worth while to get a new gasket or just put black gasket cement around unit after cleaning.I know all about the fume problems with the z and got it pretty much under control but havn't touched…

I'm having a seriously difficult time finding a replacement "bridge" wiring harness to connect a factory Hitachi AM/FM radio to the console wiring harness. This part is specific to the 78 280Z only. The bridge wiring harness is about one foot long and connects to the console wiring harness with a large black plastic electrical connector. The other end has two smaller electrical connectors that plug directly into the stock Hitachi radio. If anyone knows where I might find one of these harnesses I'd certainly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

I was curious, I hear people talking about the distributor mount needing to be replaced when swapping out different style/year distributors and I want to make sure this is needed in my case. I have N42 (75?) block with a N47 (77?) head, in my 71 Z. I stripped all the fuel injection stuff off to use this setup with my SUs. Now my stock distributor does have a slightly different mount/plate then what was on the fuel injected distributor, but it appears when mocking it up that it fits fine. And when I measure the clearances in shaft and all measurements I get the same results from the 2. Only difference I see is the location of the advance screws and their positioning, …

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm rebuilding an original intake manifold tuna cans and all for my 260's L26 and I'm stuck. Trying to find a complete or a P/N for a small section of engine harness that connects the EGR Solenoid, Throttle Opener solenoid to distributor. I'll describe it the best I can, two wires, a green/white strip to EGR solenoid w/male bullet connector and black/white strip Throttle Opener solenoid w/male bullet both terminate in a two pole male connect that I believe connect to a female connector by the distributer. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Thanks, Jim 1974 260Z - 302 Leaf Green Metallic/ Black RLS30-020697 (01/74)
