Recently, I removed my dashboard to replace a somewhat hacked up wiring harness with a good original harness (and correct P/N's 24013-E4650 and 24013-E4651 for my production date of 11/70 and manual transmission). At the time of removal, I numbered all of the connectors that were OEM (forgive my rudimentary tape system shown in the pics) for transferral to the new harness. However, there was some wiring on the old harness that was spliced into and some that was not connected. The dash is back in the car with good results (car starts and runs, multifunction and turn signal functions all work, flasher works, foglights work, etc). But, I need help making a few final con…

What electrical connections need made in order to start the engine? I've had the engine rebuilt in my 1970 240Z and want to try and start it without having to install the dash and make all the other electrical connections. I took the car down to a metal shell to address any rust issues so there's nothing hooked up in the cabin except the ignition & fuse box. The only other connections that have been made are in the engine compartment. ALso, I when i hooked up the battery, the positive cable and the ground cable to the firewall got hot. Any ideas on what I've hooked up incorrectly or it it related to not having everything else hooked up. Thanks in advance!

Not quite, but something alarming happened yesterday. Yesterday was a beautiful day, so I deceided to push my car out of the garage into the driveway so I could have some natural sunlight to work on it. I was pulling the carbs so I could send them up to Bruce Palmer. Anyway, I had to turn the switch to unlock the steering wheel. I forgot to turn the switch off. I pulled the carbs and linkage. About 30 minutes later, I noticed an acidic smell coming from the interior. I stuck my head in, found the switch on, turned it off. No smoke however. I grabbed the fuse cover, yanked it off and put my hand on the fuse block. HOT HOT HOT. After it cooled off, I turned the …

this Monday at night my car did not start, the starter is running but no current in the sparkplugs;, i check the current in the coil and in the ignition module, both have current in the 2 wires when the key is open, the problem is that there is no spark in the cover of the distributor. I bought a new coil yesterday but it did not start; I am almost convinced that it is the ignition module, this morning I bought one in a local autoparts store; tonight I will prove after work.. somebody has some commentary on the matter.

I recently had my 72Z dash reconditioned and replaced it. Now when I turn the ignition key to "start" the relay on the right side of the dash clicks but the starter does not engage. If I jump the selanoid with 12v the starter turns over fine. The car was converted from an automatic years ago. Is there a switch that interupts the ignition somewhere that might be breaking the line from the relay to the selanoid? Thanks for your ideas. Bob M

Hey all, Do any of you have a good source for the 10 guage spade connectors under the dash ? I am looking to replace a melted connector and I need to find the male and female spades along with the plastic housings. I am not against going with an aftermarket part, but, I only want the best. The crimp-on cheap-o connectors you can find at the auto parts store won't work for me. I'm thinking about a GM water-tight or equivalent.

I was trying to start my Z on Saturday, no luck. So I looked under the dash and found a red wire with a spade connector disconnected. I pulled the bottom steering column cover and found the wire that it plugged into. It appears that the wire goes to the very front of the switch. Is this wire for a buzzer or something? The red wire was all by itself, not cinched or taped to the other bundles of wires. I connected it, but still no start. I have spark, so I think it is in the fuel system somewhere. Ran out of time, but will start fuel system diagnosis this week. Thanks for any input.

Finishing with the engine rebuild and I am looking for opinons for the distributor. I am looking at the Crane XR 3000 Electronic Ignition System and their PS-40 High Performance Coil. Has anyone had any expereince with it? Or should I just get an old Distributor out of a late model and swap with the modual. The system now has a Jacobs electronic points box. I have a liitle paperwork on it but would rather dump the points system.
