Does anyone have a suggestion for removing the glue beneath the vinyl? I removed the worn-out vinyl from the strut towers--and glue residue is everywhere. Thanks

Ok, so now I've gone to the aftermarket air cleaners after removing the smog stuff I don't need anymore because of the header install. So what vacuum lines do I need, some stock lines went to the air cleaner assembly, do I just plug those now? Any help is appreciated!

I'm having problems with the driver's side window regulator. I've taken everything out including the tracks and re assembled. The front of the window seems to stick and then get out of wack and binds. Although the splines on the regulator are worn from someone using pliers it seems to work when it's off the door. Any suggestions. If i need a new regulator were can i find one?

Thanks to everyone who has offered info as I have worked on my Z since last May. She is almost done with only a few cosmetic things left. The last hurdle was getting the MPG up to a respectable lever. It moved from 18MPG highwayto 23MPG highway with the change of the temp sensor for the fuel injectors. I have replaced everything in this car except the engine so I think she will last me a while and it is all thanks to your patience with us non-mechanics. Thanks guys! Tommy

Any recommendations on preserving the dashboards of older Z's? I have recently acquired a 1970 240Z with original dash and no cracks (VIN: HLS30-02614). One part of me wants to put armor-all on it to make it look shiney new. The other side just says wipe it down with water. I am new to this, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Rich

I did a search and came up empty so here it goes. My first question is what would cause the battery and tail warning lights to come on?? Whats the fix to get the warning to stop. For some reason the tailights are not out but it still gives the warning so I think it may be the relay. The battery ive been told becuase newer batteries dont have the same makeup that the computer is used to reading it constantly says its failing. So any tips on how to get those to go off?? My second question is the car starts up just fine. But after about a minute of warming up it starts to lump where it will drop to about 500rpm and regain itself and it continues to do that til the car is …

I recently bought a 1972 240z. The dash was severely cracked and the glove box was broken, so I swapped the dashboard out with another dash that was in much better shape. I got the second dash in and now my turn indicators and wipers don't work. The lights in the gauges don't work either. I really would not like to take the dash back out. Can anyone tell me where to look for bad connections for my wipers, turn indicators, brake lights, and gauge lights? I carefully labelled every connection but there is a chance that I either missed something or didn't fully connect something. If I can't diagnose the problem, I may end up refurbishing my other dash with bumper repa…

A straightforward question on dashboard installation: Is it any easier to reinstall the dashboard if the windshield is still out. For a couple of reasons I'd like to put the glass in first if I'm not creating any installation problems for myself. Thanks in advance for any relevant tips/thoughts.
