Hello all. Some of you may recall I had some pretty big electrical problems last year with my 72 240. Something caused a total electrical meltdown, resulting in a burnt up wiring harness, dead battery, dead amp gauge, dead alternator, and bad voltage regulator (among other things). Well I got past all that and things had been going well until recently. A few weeks ago, I was doing routine maintenance, and noticed that my battery was somewhat out of position. So I undid the hold-down, and refastened it, then moved on. Shortly after that, I started having trouble with the Ign fuse blowing. Upon replacement, I would lose the fuse shortly thereafter. So I opened the hood, an…

NO LOW BEAMS FRONT HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK ON LOW BEAMS. BUT HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. CHECKED CONNECTOR(AROUND STEERING COLUM) THERE IS A PLUG WITH TWO FEMAL ENDS. ONLY ON HAS CURRENT COMING INTO IT. I WILL ASSUME THE ONE THAT IS HOT IS MY HIGH BEAMS. ? WERE DO I CHASE DOWN THE HOT WIRE FOR THE LOW BEAMS. ? WHICH WIRE CONNECTED TO HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE HOT(IF I TEST CONNECTION AT LIGHTS) P.S. 78Z 82TURBO ENGINE. WIPERS DO NOT WORK? THEY ONLY WORK WHEN I PUSH WASHER BUTTON IN YOU CAN IMAGINE IT'S A REAL PAIN WHEN IT RAINS. I TESTED PLUG CONNECTION TO WIPER MOTER, THE ONLY HOT WIRER IS THE RED/BLUE WIRE. ? IS THE ONLY HOT CONNECTION TO WIPER MOTOR?

Hi, After reading the posts on electronic ignitions and doing a search I am confused on what to do for my 73 240z w/automatic. Am I correct in my conclusion that because there is dual points that I can't use something like a Petronix system? Is there another system available? Is my only choice having to upgrade to something like a 280z distributor? My apologies if i missed something already posted. Greg

My son just bought a 280Z. (can't remember the year - first year they were fuel injected) He thought it would be an easy fix to get this car up and running... The previous owner had attempted some "half-fast" repairs and we're going to need a lot of help. Most pressing are 2 points I hope someone here can help with: 1 - No power to fuel pump. (At least I think...) The two wires connected are supposed to deliver 12 volts with ignition switch on? I can't find a fuse for the fuel pump. Is there a fuse? Is there a relay? Is it safe to "jump" the fuel pump? Can I connect it to a 12v source to see if it spins? What is the polarity? 2 - The former owner re-wired the fu…

Hello all, I am currently in the middle of a very simple install of the MSD 6AL ignition system. I have a 72 240, with a 280ZX electronic distributor with E12-80 Ignition module. Does anyone have any tips, or tricks that might make me avoid a headache? wiring schematic? Also where have been the best places to mount the MSD box? I have it temporarily located next to the clutch master cylinder under the acces panel. Thanks for any helpful tips. Dave.
