...if you short the fuel sending unit wires together the gauge should shoot over to fuel. I'm about to try it and didn't want to burn up my new unit that's not working. I'm pretty sure it's those nail head connections on the wires, I had a heck of a time getting those boots off and think I geeked them up. Is this true?

I am the proud new owner of a low miles, all original, no rust 1973 240z. I've been spending time under the hood getting familiar with everything and I found that the vacuum advance hose is not connected to anything. The vacuum advance works and holds vacuum nicely but I don't know where to stick the hose. I've looked in the FSM and spent my time searching old threads but I can't find a photo of where the advance tube is supposed to go. Anyone got one?

I had a bit of fun cleaning up an old radio. I still need to replace up the external wires and a light bulb. It would have been fine to leave as is but I undid one screw and the rest followed.

I'm curious about what some RELIABLE, easy-to-install ignition modules are. I currently have an MSD 6A in there, but the thing is massive, fairly expensive, and seems to be pretty weak against heat (already had one burn out on me). Any alternatives? Thanks!

Hi y'all, Sorry if this is a repeat, but I haven't been able to find an issue quite like this in the forums. I've got a '76 280z that I purchased with a 5 speed from a later car already installed. The reverse lights stopped working a few weeks ago, so I checked all the connections, replaced the switch, swapped bulbs, and I still get nothing. The strange thing is that when the car is running and I shift into reverse, or press the switch manually without it being installed, the red "charge" light in the voltmeter comes on. There is some voltage coming through at the sockets, but not a full 12 volts. All other lights and switches function perfectly, I've checked the FSM t…

I just received a Color Wiring Diagram from Prospero's Garage (purchased on eBay). I have noticed these for a while and thought that it might be cheap or incomplete, so with my Z paint finished and re-assembly in progress I went ahead and bought one. I have to say that I am very impressed - so far. Have any of you guys (and gals) purchased one? He has a website: http://www.colorwiringdiagrams.com/ I am not promoting - just sharing some information on a good find . I will be sure and post any problems if I find any....

I installed the alternator upgrade on my 72 240Z some time ago, but continue to have one problem. The 280Z uses a wider V belt (.47 inch outside width vs. 240 Z .41 inch outside width.) The 240Z belt 7335 rides very low in the alternator pulley and at startup slips and squeals. I tried installing the 240Z alternator pulley on the 280Z alternator, but then the pulley is offset from the fan and crank pulleys. I tried using a belt sized for the 280Z alternator and that rides very high in the fan and crank pulleys. Has anyone come up with a solution or do you just live with it?

I installed a wiper motor bought on Ebay from a seller in Canada. The motor works, but when I turn it off, it comes to rest in the up position. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

the wiper motor and jets are not working on my 240z. Initially when i purchased my 240z the wipers arms moved slow not fast as the ones in my honda crv. The jets are not spraying wáter. Should i consider replacing the entire motor and wáter pump or could i take this to an electromechanic and have it fixed? I really want a steady and reliable windshield wiper system.

Can anyone confirm that the white/black wire is correctly soldered? It is attached to the side of the metal part while the other 3 are soldered through it and on to other wires that go in to the radio. There was evidence of tampering with the cap that goes over the wires so I just wanted to confirm if this looks correct. I haven't powered it up yet.

Alright awhile back I did the ZX alternator conversion on my car, my wiring is still a little goofy as I think I have a short somewhere in the dash, but that'll get fixed soon, and everything work for now. Mine is the standard ZX alternator, I beleive its a 60 amp, i see alot people with some sweet stereo systems in there cars, and the ZX had some fancy stereo for a stock system AFAIK, but I don't know how much junk I can run with this alt. I plan to run a single 8 or 10" sub, two 6x9s, and two smaller speaker in the kick panels probably 6", and for all this probably a midsize amp. Do you guys run this much in a Z without upgrading to a 90 or 100 amp alternator? I am wil…
