Since I've owned my 73' 240Z the rear passenger-side turn signal (right side) would not flash. I wasn't worried about getting pulled over, since no one in Houston uses their turn signals anyway. Recently my instrument panel lights went out (all at once). I could live with that too, since I can hear when I need to shift, and everyone speeds in Houston anyway. This weekend, my rear running lights went out. Now I'm sure to get pulled over. I've checked all of the fuses and they are all good. I've also checked for loose connections on all the wires around the fuse box. I have a Z club meeting on October 9th, and I don't want to leave my Z at home. Can anyone give me some idea…

I finally got my z engine temperature under control. The radiater was checked by a repair shop and they said it was not flowing enough. I wound up with a new radiator,new water pump and new thermostat and new antifreeze. I also had installed a new temperature sender and even though the engine is running cool the sender pegs the needle. I had this problem with my old sender and wound up putting a series resistor in line with the sender to make the needle run normal. I checked the antifreese temp with a submersible thermometer in the top of the radiator and it read between 160 and 170 deg. F. If any one out there knows anything about the properties of this sender pleas…

Okay, I've recently aquireda 72 240zx, and when I went to take the wheels off today to get them balanced, I noticed that on what appears to be the subframe of my car, the piece of frame you see when you take off a front wheel, there is quite a bit of rust that has eaten at the metal. I was wondering if there are any places that sell either supports, or pre-fabbed pieces of medal to make the welding easier. Also, Could anyone reccomend some places where I could buy something like this? Preferably in TX if you can Thanks for your help. I don't want to drive the z until I get this fixed, so any quick support is greatly appreciated!

When it rains it pours. I finally finished installing my refurbished fuel tank . Added new vent lines and finally was able to start the engine. After adjusting the carb I got the engine running great. I want to retorque the head and check the valve clearances. I just completed installing the head after rebuild. However after running the engine for about 30 minutes it started to boil over. I checked the thermostat before I installed it and it was ok. I dont know where to start. Should I flush out the cooling system, pull the radiator , or pull the water pump or all of the above. The car was laid up in the garage for 15 yrs. I also see that I have a oil leak at t…

If I top off my tank, I get gasoline leaking out of the back of the car. The fuel is coming from the (original) hoses on top of the tank. The easiest fix is to simply keep it below 7/8th of a tank -- no leaking. I'd like a more permanent fix. Are there any substitutes for the rather expensive OEM hoses? Any tips on how to do this with the lowest level of hassel? I await the group's wisdom... BILL D.
