I have a 72 240Z. I thought I had a fuel starvation problem. I've installed a new mechanical fuel pump. Blown out all lines, Removed the gas tank and had it refurbished by a professional, replaced all hoses and made sure there are no restriction in the lines. I just installed an electric fuel pump near the fuel tank. I have not field tested the electric pump while driving as of yet. I'm waiting for a replacement fuel indicator. Here is my question what else could be causing the problem? The distributor has been replaces with a newer electronic distributor. My Son did this and I believe it was from a 260Z. The car also has a MSD ignition system and Coil. On level ground t…

Hey all So I had an instance a while ago where the car wouldnt start, fuel pump wasn't getting power. That's when I saw the fuse box with wires in fuses. Touched a wire, heard a short, and the pump came on. Gotta check that. I replaced the injectors to fix a fuel leak and yesterday didn't start. Battery was low (being charged). Well today I got around to looking at the fuse box and followed the cables. All of them run to the radio and an amp in the back, courtesy of the PO. I don't care for these things right now I just everything ok. There's also a cable from the battery to the amp and another may be going to the fuse box. Would taking all these things out fix it? Let m…

After a clutch renewal on my 4 speed 72 240z, i had a friend install my starter while i worked on the driveshaft, upon completion, and everything was assumed to be hooked up correctly, i hooked up the battery to go and try out the new clutch. as i walked to the drivers side, i noticed quite a bit of smoke and immediately removed the negative lead. Turns out, he had installed the negative lead to the starter solenoid and the positive to the block, dumbass.... so the other wire that leads to the starter solenoid (its yellow for me) fried up a bit, so i replaced the foot long section that was burnt. i go back to my car, and nothing. not a peep, no clock, no lights, no radio…

I'm trying to install a power antenna on a 71. I can't figure out how the bottom of the antenna attaches to the car. I am missing the bracket, but I would make one if I had a clue how the antenna is positioned in the quarter panel. I have searched and found some pics of power antennas with the brackets attached, but still having a problem picturing how it is installed.

When Installing my triple webers, I ordered a lot of parts. I mean a lot. Not all of them were as researched as others. At times this means I had a few 'extra' parts laying around that I may find a use for some day. Maybe not. Anyway, one of the parts I received was of course an electric fuel pump. This is the beast I ordered as it was used by others and seemed to fit the bill for pressure: Well as much fuel as this pump put out, it put out exponentially more SOUND.. think fire alarm loud, think chainsaw, think electric engraver loud! I installed the rubber isolators like it suggested and even put a thin piece of rubber gasket material in between the bracket and t…

I have a 72 Datsun 240Z with an Ignitor. I installed it as per the instructions. It runs great, but the tach will not work, any suggestions? Works great with points. I understand that the tach is a "current sensor" type, unlike most aftermarket units which operate off a signal from the negative side of the coil. I put the old coil back in (current coil is a Petronix), started the motor, tach went to 1,000 and then it dropped back to "0".

73 240 auto... the problem is with the car off I can turn the light switch on and the fuel pump turns on. The other issue is all lights not switched (gauges, side marker, fog, tail etc) come on without turning them on. The headlights work properly with the switch. So basically I have to run with all acc lights on when car is running. Has anyone ever heard of something like this? I've searched for shorts/grounds etc etc can't find any obvious wiring miscues. Just hoping that someone has experienced this issue and knows the fix. Thanks

Is there a specific name or style for the cable ties used in the engine bay wiring bundles? I'm referring to the ones that plug into a little hole on the fender. The best I can do for now is to look up "push in cable ties' or 'panel mount cable ties.' You want to make sure you get the same kind and not mix them, like I see sometimes on the hoses. thxZ
