So, i finally got to take my 280z out for a spin today. It ran great. till it overheated, the headgasket is fine, it doesn't burn antifreeze (no smoke) nor does it leak into the oil or anything (looked in the rad, no oil) but it overheats REALLY badly. could it be that there's some nasty garbage inside the hoses or something? how would i know if it's the water pump, if that's the problem? (when i say bad, i mean, within like, 5-10 minutes of driving)

I'm doing the final assembly of my engine before I throw it into the car, and I just have a couple questions before I fully take the plunge. I had new pistons installed into my block (flattops with valve recesses, bored .020 over), had the block decked and had the bottom of the head shaved slightly to ensure a good mating surface. The new pistons protrude out of the cylinder bore slightly past the deck of the block. I understand that this is alright, as long as you run the correct thickness gasket. I am using a gasket out of the master rebuild kit that the machine shop gave me. I have put the head on and torqued everything together, and then spun the engine over by han…

My 73 is driving me nuts. I dont have a spark from the plugs or coil. PO installed Elec Ign but I dont know how to wire it properly. I no longer have power to the + post of the coil so I ran a jumper of 12V and still nothing. tried another coil (not sure if its good) with no luck. I've been trying to follow my factory wiring diagram but it doesnt work too well with EI installed. There is still a resistor installed and it gets warm with the key in the run position with car not running. If anyone has the wiring diagram for wiring the EI that would be great. the dist has a red and a black wire from it. thanks

So I found a LSD 3.54 gear ratio differential. If I swap this into my 71 240z that has the stock differential which i believe the gear ratio to be 3.36 what kind of difference will I see. Is this a better upgrade? Any performance difference? Also I am running a 5 spd tranny and l24 modified. Thanks

ok, so im not sure if this is what caused it, but today i tried to.."tune my carbs," meaning that i tried to make the mixture right. i twisted it all the way counter clockwise (which i think/hope is lean) and then i turned it two and a half times clockwise (they're stock SU's on my '72 240Z). there is now a bunch of smoke coming out of the exhaust, and when i was driving it i would step on the pedal and it would almost feel like i was engine braking, my car would actually SLOW DOWN when i stepped on the gas.. did i do something wrong? what might have caused my car to do that?

Hey guys, Earlier I posted about dim lights and motor hesistating. I started to begin removing the alternator and found a wire disconnected, and another "object" that I wasnt familiar with. Is this a ground wire from the alternator and if so would it being disconnected cause the alternator not to work? Also what is the other "object" that is attached to a wire, I checked my manual but didn't find anything. I hate to buy a new alternator if this might be the problem.....any thoughts. Thanks, Randy
