-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- guys looking a a 78 for this girl, unknownn how long since it has run, said it started with fuel leaks and just let it sit for a long time. Anyway this has got me a bit puzzled, when you turn the key on and crank engine wont start, very weak spark but when you let off the cranking the ign continues to fire non stop until you turn key all the way to the off position, you can even here it inside the cap buzzing!!! If you pull the cap and watch it has a strong continuos spark between coil wire tip (center electrode and one of the plug electrodes, any clues here??

My 76 280Z, auto trans needs all new u joints (all 6, 2 ds 4 rear axle) The DS has non servicable u joints. I've heard a shop could replace them; BUT would an earlier 240 driveshaft fit? I am thinking of getting a used 240 shaft with servicable joints and putting new joints on it. Are these the same length, and the same u joints (for rear and trans?) Thanks New driveshafts are expensive and having a shop do the swap of the non servicable ones is expensive too; I guess the zbarn.com has some; looks like the 72-74 would be the one to go with, if it is interchangeable?

Is this what I would need to do a vaccum pressure test on my 1975 280Z? This is at sears? Here is what it says: "Fine tunes carburetion and timing peak for maximum fuel economy. Easy-to-read, 3-1/2 diameter face displays 0-30 inches vacuum and 0-10 pounds of pressure. Complete with hose and adapters. Fuel pump pressure. Mechanical condition of the engine. Vacuum control system function. For leaks in the intake manifold, manifold and head gaskets, piston rings, valves and vacuum lines." Is this the right tool? Please advise..Thanks

Hello, I'm new and just got a 1977 Skyline with a L28 N42 head. It seems that they put a L20 oil pan so that it could fit nice and snug on top of the steering rack. Well the problem, is that the dipstick is for the L28, but because the oil pan was changed the dipstick does not go all the way in. When I went to get an oil change, I did not know how much oil I had in the car, so ended up putting a little over 6qrts of oil. Does anyone know how many quarts an L28 takes wit an L20/24 oil pan?

Replacement engine is in and cranking, but not starting. Can't even hear it trying to catch. Spark plugs are in the correct order, have spark and fuel. Trying to figure out if the ignition timing is good or not. With the rotor pointing to the #1 spark plug wire, the timing mark on the crank pulley is WAY advanced. Looks like it would be +40 or 50 degrees. I pulled the valve cover to see if timing marks could help me figure things out. I could not make heads or tails of it So when I see these white painted marks ( no mark on the chain, but a 3 stamped on the cam gear ) The rotor is here My best guess is, something is wrong. :stupid: Can anyone help me sort…

Ok, so I'm reading the EFI bible (single best car information I've ever read...) and want to test components via the ECU 35 prong connector. I don't want to damage anything. Before testing with voltmeter/ohmeter do I need to disconnect battery or not? anything else? It says disconnect ignition before disconnecting ECU connector, does this mean disconnect the coil wire or what? Thanks

After having issues with fuel for awhile I have finally decided to take the fuel tank off and clean it. Whats the best way to do this to make sure I have done it right the first time. The gas tank is already off, I was going to hose it down to see how much I can get clean. Would I be better off taking it somewhere to have it professionally cleaned? Also the fuel pump is only 6 mo old. I have pumped alot of slug through it, would it still be good or should i just change it out while I'm there Any help would be awesome
