These air filters were in a box labeled "240z K&N air filters" when I bought the car, It looks like they have been mounted but never oiled and run. I have been looking all over but I cannot figure out who manufactures them. I have seen similar ones but none that have this bolt pattern, If anyone could tell me who makes them I would be very greatful. http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll29/twnygren/240z/?action=view¤t=CIMG0601.jpg

Hello Classic Z members, I just got a new fuel pump for my 02/1977 280Z and need some help on this. I swaped over to SU carbs from the EFI system recently and I bought an inline low pressure electric fuel pump. I am putting in a Push button ignition also and want the new fuel pump on it's own switch, and have the ignition just run the starter and acc power with an ignition switch and hidden starter button. How would I go about wiring this right way or is there an easy way to do this? I'm going to run the fuel lines over again also, so whats the best size fuel hose to use for this and how do I run them to my new SU's? I have an old service manual (with no wiring diagram…

I live in Houston TX and it doesn't get to cold around here very often, but it seems that every time the a cool front comes along my car starts to hesitate on accelleration and run a little rough. It feels almost like a have a clogged fuel filter. As soon as it warms up again it runs perfectly. Any tips on what to check out?

I seem to be having a problem with my Alternator. Battery died and now not charging. Problem is I don't know what type of Alternator I have. My Z is a 75 280z with a 77-78 engine. So i'm not sure what alternator is in it. Also some wires seem to be cut and spliced together right next to it that make me think it might have an internal voltage regulator. I took a pic. Let me know what you think. Is there anyway to find out what type of alternator it is or should I just get a 75 280z alternator??

Need help here rather badly. See engine and drivetrain post for the whole story. But the short part is, how hard is it to get the cam sprocket and timing chain back on the head if nothing moved during a head gasket swap? I cannot seem to get the parts to line up, there is about a 1/8th in. too short. I am guessing that I have made more work for myself because the timing chain tensioner somehow moved during the head removal. if so I have a problem and have to tear down the whole front of the engine. Am i missing something simple? the chain and sprocket line up properly, marks are correct I even maked three seperate locations with paint dots to make sure I realigned …

Dashboard gages do not work; fuse blown ( hazard light fuse). I replaced it ; gages go one for an hour, then off again. I have someone who would like to buy car, and I don't know what to tell them. Can I fix this? vicki:stupid:http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/images/smilies/c.gif

Do any of you know where I could find a mechanical fuel pump rebuild kit for my 72' 240z? I can only find new pumps which are about $45-$65, I really just need a new diaphragm, and gaskets.

I have used this site to help me with my 8/74 260Z 2+2 auto while bringing it back to life... you guys have been very helpful. THANKS SO MUCH! This is my first post for help though. This Z is from Hawaii and then lived in AZ and now resides in NH. It has been in storage for 16-17 years. I did get it running and was able to take it for some local drives last summer. As fall approached I then started having issues where one day it would start and the next it would not. The issue was no spark. I could not figure why one day I had spark and the next no spark... Well this past week I pushed it out of the garage on a few nice days and starting tinkering again... still no…

I've got a new project going (along with the other 387). I need a drivers side a/c compressor bracket like that found in the MSA kit. The stock aluminum piece won't do. Anyone? Thanks.
