MSD #8202 Blaster 2 coil. Is this the part number I need for my 260Z? I've read something about removing a ballast resistor (which I'm guessing is the cylinder shaped thing mounted next to the coil with a wire leading to the + connection on the coil?), but that thread was about a 240, so I wasn't sure if I had to do that or not. I've also read about some tachometer issues when installing an aftermarket coil. Do I need to do any wiring modifications to make it work or anything else? Thanks guys. -Grant

So it is way too cold to work in my garage this week, so I opened a couple of part boxes to fix/clean/sort parts that I will use. While trying to piece together a pair of signal lights out of all the sad broken sets I have I came across one that is not the same as the rest. As seen in the photos it is the right one which has two bulbs and a divider between each half which fits into a slot on the lens. It has a IKI part number 3031 and the rest are 3005.

Antenna Rework 1 2

My OEM antenna didn't work so this weekend I completely dis-assembled it, cleaned-up all the corrosion and "muck" on the inside and installed a new OEM antenna mast, (provided by the PO). Installing the new antenna mast was not difficult, but the interior of the mechanism was filled with a mixture of dried-up grease & dirt. Also, the aluminum channel the nylon antenna rod runs in was very heavily corroded. Inside the motor case I cleaned-up using electrical contact cleaner, paper towels and Q-tips. Once cleaned-up, lubricated and re-assembled, it now operates smoothly. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to use it or go with a more modern, "automatc" antenna.…

Ok, so last night I connected my new kenwood stereo to my 1974 260z. I clipped the connector from the back of the radio. wired the black wire to the ground, blue wire to the on/off power, and the light switch to the red/blue wire. Then, for my constant power, I ran a wire up to the clock which had been clipped from the car power and ran to a AA battery. I didn't think much of it considering there was still power coming from the wire. so, I just hooked it up there, and finished by wiring up my speakers. cranked it up last night, car ran fine, stereo sounded good, everthing thumbs up. Well, this morning, leaving for school, I noticed that I had NO guages. only speedo work…

I'm in the process of converting a 76 280z into a road race car. I had to remove the interior. Is there a way to hotwire the Fuel Injection Computer or is there an aftermarket module that anyone knows about for a quick fix. Just hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. Sorry if this has been asked and posted before. If it has can you please direct me to the post.

I have two questions that you guys no doubt can help me with: Car: 1972 240Z 1. How does the wiring harness get routed inside the the car on the passenger side ? Is it routed through the rocker ? The car has been gutted except for the dash. I am looking for strategy for co-existence with the sound deadener. 2. Does anybody have experience with the Gas Tank sending unit electrical connectors ? The 240 has a T shaped connect post on the sending unit. The rubber around the connector is old an stiff. How do you get the connector re-attached to the sending unit ? Thanks, Jay Not just a Z - zdisease

Evening all and happy new year . A year to the date on new years eve I started up my 71 240 after putting back all the required parts . Man did it ever sound nice after a year of sleeping , although I did have to pull the battery out of my Pathfinder to get her up and running . My question is what is the recommended battery cranking amperage that I should be looking for when I go to purchase new this weekend as well as thoughts on maintenance free verses the old standard type Thanxz Chris
