As you can tell by my avatar, I got the motor and tranny back in this week, and tried starting today. It misfired a few times, but never actually ran. I think with some timing tweaks it will go just fine. I got very close, but I seem to have an issue in the ignition/coil/distributor region. I get really good, blue spark sometimes, and no spark other times. I'm using the original points ignition, and the car ran before I tore it down, so I believe all the parts are in good working order. I checked all of the connections at the coil, starter, resistor, distributor, battery tightened them all, replaced a few connections. Points spark good with the key in the on posi…

I have a 1978 (manufactured Nov 1977) 280z 2+2. I recently wrote a thread about "electrical weirdness" happening in my car. It ended up being my accessory fusible link burning up to a crisp, I believe because I used home stereo speakers in place of car speakers. Does anyone suggest, or know what the proper ohms/watts speakers should be so I don't burn up another fusible link? Is there a mod I can do that will allow my electrical system to handle big booming speakers?

Hi all, I am picking up a 71' 240Z tomorrow morning and have a VERY premature question to ask. I am an audio freak and was wondering if a standard size CD deck will mount into these cars. I have not even had a chance to dig into the car and I am already scheming away! Now for the important stuff! Was looking for an economical car (for obvious reasons) rather than the old 94' Suburban I have been driving. Got a good deal on the 240 and said "Why not?"... (like I need another project... :stupid: ) The car... Very straight (little bit of cancer on the left rear wheelwell and the driver's floorboard - will address those after I get it running again). Light hail d…

Can somebody post a picture of their 1975 Fuse Box Cover. Mine didn't come with one and yesterday I was looking at some of the fuses and they look pretty old and brittle. I would like to swap them out but I don't know what is what down there.

Hi all, Does anyone know if I can recharge one of the red Optima batteries? I heard that once they are dead... they are dead (ie: cannot be recharged). Is this true? Anyone have experience with these batteries?

I am about to put my wiring harness back in a recently painted engine bay. What is the proper way to prepare spots that will be a grounding point? If anyone has a picture of 2, that would be great. I have gone thru the search but did not find anything specific. Thanks for your help. Skip

Can some one give me some advice on trying to figure out how to get the head lights to work again on my 240z. Is there a relay on the passenger side kick panel that could go out? Drive lights work fine out but the turn signals only work in the front not the rear? So from what I got from another thread the light switch on the left should ground the wire so the head lamps come on correct? Waylon

I recently replace my wiring harness and the connector for the tach is for a 4 wire tach. My old wire harness was for a 3 wire tach. Does anyone know which wires go where? I have seen pictures but can't really make them out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI All, I have posted re: this topic before but still have not had success firing up my '73 240z (9/72). When I turn the key the engine will turn over but will not fire. It will fire briefly with starter fluid but only runs for a few moments. I hear intermittent clicking from under the dash but that's it. I have checked the fuel lines and there is no fuel coming from the fuel pump. The fuel pump may be the problem or lines or tank... but other problems lead me to believe that there is no power runnning....well ...anywhere. The only power I have while the key is on is to the starter and to the headlights (no signals, radio, heater, interior lights, brake lights... no…

I can't seem to find it. Is it an inline fuse? If so, either it was ditched by the PO or I'm just not seeing it. Anyone know where it is located in the car? It's a '76 280Z. Also, is this fuse a single fuse powering several things? It seems to be in several diagrams that indicate it powers several gauges and warning lights. Gracias.

As you know the S30 has a dedicated battery bracket frame. Does anybody know/make a battery hold-down bracket to fit the Red Top Optima battery?
