OK, just until a few weeks ago, had no electrical or starting problems. Now out of the blue, our ’73 Z has been having to be jump started every time. Only just after driving it turning it back on within a small period of time(10-15 min) does it start right back up. In addition to the starting problem, the headlights stopped working(since then found connector popped out of relay just under steering column). Now headlights work(both low and high), but running lights stopped. Blinkers/hazards/stop are all OK. Let me say that I was working around the steering column trying to fit the plastic surrounds(another little problem as it doesn’t seem to fit flush). I fig…

Interesting electrical problem developed today. 76 280z When off, my battery seems to be disconnected from half the functions, my Accessory seems to be dead (and thus my fuel pump that is wired into it) , my fuseable links are good, , battery connections are good, it seems like a wire is on the verge of dieing, the battery shows on the voltmeter sometimes, but when i try to put a load on it it drops to 0. When running, the voltage reads 8 and varies with rpm (im guessing its only alternator then) My question is, has anyone else had something similar happen? I'm thinking it is one of my fuseable links, just it doesn't look broken (and isnt fully yet), I just dont know if m…

Can someone tell me where the sensor wire goes through the firewall and then on to the water temp sensor? I've done an L28ET swap on a 72 and have the wiring done except for this damn water temp sensor. Some of the factory harness was there but no temp sensor wiring.

I have been blowing park light fuses at random for a year, sometimes will be o.k. for a month, sometimes a day. I have done Dave's parking light upgrade and my own headlight relay upgrade. Everything worked good after the upgrades, but now, two months later we are back to blowing the fuse. The good thing is now I have a hard short and can't hold the fuse at all. This is the wierd part: If I unplug The C-3 (black) firewall connector the fuse will hold. If I leave this one plugged in (C-3) and unplug the C-1 and C-5 (green both) lighting connectors it still blows the dang fuse..Any Ideas?

Need one for a 79-83 280zx. All the salvage yards are out of stock, and the best price I can find to order one is $135. Any ideas? Many thanks!

I ask this as I am chasing down a very predictable miss and back fire out of my exhaust around 4000 rpm. I have been playing with mixture ratios and timing and the more I do this, the more I think they are acting just fine. Everything in the fuel and ignition portion of my car is less than a year old. Now I have seen my tach on some days just go nuts and peg at 7000 rpm when I am slowly idling in traffic, but it always returns, and there are other times when I floor it and the tack needle just swings insanely fast upwards 5x the speed my engine can actually rev. Most of the time my tach does behave normally, but it does act pretty funny above 4500 rpm often. So, I a…

I am on the back end of a major electrical problem with my 76 280 and with all of the help from this forum hopefully the problem is going to be resolved. So I am moving on to a not so series electrical problem. My dash lights do not seem to work. The map light, if that is what it is called seems to be the only light that does work. Any suggestions. Sorry to those who helped with the other issue but just looking for a place to start on this one. Thanks.

Hey all . here is what I have going on . I just put back on rd after winter sleep and If i leave the headlight switch turned off ,all my electric works perfect . I turn the lights on and I loose my turnsignals and the interior signal indicator lights both stay on . My 4-way flasher works as new and when I engage the switch while the headlights are on , the interior signal lights will then cancel themselves . I have Dave Irwins headlights relay upgrade for two years now installed and I,m wondering is it a relay issue and how would I check that . Thankz for any help Chris

I have a 71 240Z an this is not the OEM distributor to my knowledge. My car came with a D615-52 which is currently on the car (but recurved from www.advanceddistributors.com). I have no idea what this came from. It was an ebay find that was just too inexpensive to pass up. I have ordered a new pertronix to put in it and new taylor wires to keep for another build I have in mind. Which year, make model came with a D611-54. Any idea?
