Getting new mill with the 280zx alternator. Bought Dave's conversion adapter. For 73's the fuel pump relay needs to be disconnected. In this link Dave asks for photos of the relay and wiring mod for '73 but nobody posts them. Any link to instructions for '73? Which one is the fuel pump relay? The fuel pump is removed. Also, what about the ammeter. Will it be OK as is or is a mod required for that?

Hi, I'm about to mount 3,4 relays and additional fusebox for IGN and constant +12v under dashboard or firewall. I'd like to see where people mount relays and additional fusebox under dashboard. Also, where you put ground connections.

I put an Interstate Battery (Group 24) in my 77 280 a couple years ago and I never liked the way the battery hold-down fit. Interstate has a stepped lip along the top of the battery that is juuuuusssst a little too big to fit inside the hold down bracket, resulting in a small contact patch on the top surface of the battery that is too small to provide what I consider a good reliable contact. In fact, it usually slips off one side or the other and wedges itself in on an angle. It's probably not just me, and I bet all you Interstate users know what I'm talking about. Here's the stepped lip that runs around the entire top of the Interstate. The inside dimensions of the …

Sorry to post a question without searching the site. I know this is an old question. Engine's about done and I've got a lot to do, need to order the parts now. Car is '73 240Z. Maybe it's time to ditch the points.

I can not remember which hole I run the wiring through for the fuel sensor. Assuming there other hole get a plug? Second question is the wires that go to the fuel sensor have 4 connections. I think I discovered this while re wrapping . I don’t recall the green and black wire that are thick going to anything. Are these wires for a electric fuel pump?

I was searching for some brighter 70W H1 bulbs for the auxiliary lamps, and it seems that all you can get is LEDs. Then I viewed a few Youtube videos that pointed out the brighter LED bulbs were bigger and wouldn't fit. Is it worth pursuing an LED bulb to replace the standard halogen, even for the 55W bulb? Where would you be able to get higher-wattage halogen bulb(70W or 80W or more) in a nice 3200K color ? It seems you'll need to order from an overseas supplier, such as Germany or China.

I tried to search on this, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas/experience on installing a 3rd brake light. Not that it has happened to me (yet) but I dont want to be rear ended. The 3rd brake light has been mandatory in the U.S. since '86 I believe, my "85 Cadillac had one. People are so used to seeing this I am wondering if I'm risking a rear end collision. I just got a set of JDM amber lenses yesterday and thought about how to go about putting a 3rd light in while back there. I know the Corvette back in 85-86 had a roof mounted one tacked on, painted body color, dont want to go that route. Others fit in the inside of the rear window. Is there any options out there …

Anyone have good suggestions for sheathing on the engine wire harness. I have noticed towards the end of the harness by the coil connections there are a lot of charred wires. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

My game plan is to replace all the bulbs with LED units on the 78Z resurrection project. I have never used any LED lights on any of our vehicles yet, but am impressed with the concept and performance on our LED lights we installed inside the house about 8 months ago. All the original bulbs are clear on the Z. Is it best to install LED bulbs of the same color as the lenses, or just replace the clear for the clear? Thanks for any input, John-Lugoff, SC.
