on the drivers side in front of the wheel... there is a bracket with 2 vacuum lines (i think... they were so cracked i took them off), and 1 hardline that runs towards the firewall, under the brake lines and then down the transmission tunnel. the bracket is located in front of the strut and right under the ignition coil. in the picture i took off the 2 vacuum lines, so there are just 2 nipples where the lines should attatch. (sorry for the camera phone picture)

Just bought a 76 280Z which will be my daily driver for a year or so. Not perfect, but I have the same feeling as when I bought my 87 Monte SS, really excited! There are two main issues I am concerned about right now... 1. Car runs rich, ie blackish smoke from exhaust. It is fuel injection. I put new plugs in (NGK) and new fuel filter (purolator). Can someone lead me in the direction to fix this problem? Gas is too expensive to waste! I was thinking along the lines of a sensor or the coil, etc.. 2. Heater/ defrost doesn't work. It blows air, not hot though. Defrost selector won't work, never blows air out windsheld vents, just vents. I am thinking heater cor…

Ok... I have been trying to get my 72 240 started and i am definatly taking the long road. Work wont let me spend enough time with her but here is where i am at. i have replaced all fuel lines, fuel filter ect. i dropped in a battery after flushing all fluids and new plugs. car was turning over but no start. I was getting fuel, but no spark. in order to try and avoid wasting time i ordered NGK 8m wires, point, and new crane ps40 coil from motorsport. I installed the wires first... no spark. Point next, still nothing. Coil next and we have spark but no start. I installed the resistor that came with the coil just like the original one was wired and it started smoking…

Hi, i've bought a nice '72 240Z with original A/C fitted, the previous owner removed the A/C compressor and bracket at some point but never put it back in again. Could someone with an US '72 240Z and the original A/C please post some photos of the installed compressor so i know where to reinstall those parts

Re posting. Windshield wipers on my 72 240 work,but not much difference between the 2 speeds. Slow. Linkage has been cleened and lubed. The wiper motor came out of a fairly low mieage car. Do you think the problem is in the motor or in the colum switch? Thanks. Bill.

Does anyone have some pics of the 1972 console? Specifically, the embossed piece just after the stick shift and the accessory panel (w/ defroster). I just looked at a 1972 parts car - it had some bits I wanted to poach. I noticed that the accessory panel was different than mine, so I am curious which would be the right piece. The parts car had a "fasten seat belts" warning light in the center, where I have a rocker switch with a red lens. I am pretty sure the "fasten seat belts" is correct, but since there were tweaks made from '70-'73, I am not certain. For the embossed piece aft of the stick, I have an aftermarket air conditioner control unit. Since that required c…

The previous owner(s) of my car changed the defroster switch and removed the fasten seat belts warning light on the console. I replaced the console piece (I think it's called the fuse box cover) with a correct one, but I am missing the female connector that hooks up to the male connector emanating from the choke and fasten seat belt lights. Does anyone sell the female connectors?

My car won't start, It was running "kinda OK" (was going to look at it this weekend!)just the night before when I parked it. After some tinkering, I've found out that I don't have spark at the plugs or coming out of the coil. I've tried 3 different coils, same results, crank crank crank but no spark. I've tried running a wire from the (+) side of the battery to the (+) side of the coil, I hear a clicking coming from the passenger side inside the car but same result. When I put the key in the run position and use my multimeter on the connection at the coil, I get ~12V at the (+), (-), and center output of the coil. I have the ZX distributor so I checked the resistance in t…

This site is terrific. I have two Miatas that are 17 and 18 years old but look and run like new because of a forum like this one except that it is for Miatas! Anyhow, I inherited a 1977 280Z from my favorite sister who was killed recently and would like to restore her Z that she loved so much as a sort of tribute to her. Does anyone know of a good quality carpet kit for the 280Z? I checked product reviews but I don't see any reviewed there yet. Carolyn's car is a 1977 280z 2 door coupe with black interior and beautiful canary yellow paint (she had "Tweetybird" repainted by a great shop about 10 years ago and kept her covered ever since). Thank you in advance for a…
