I finnally got to start my car after many problems and after it started to warm up it started to make a god awful high pitched ungulating schreeching noise from the rear passanger side of the valve cover. it almost sounded like a loose fan belt. its an early 74 260 and i had just changed the oil not too long ago so its probably not that. it also spead up with the rpm and at idle it does it about 4 times a second.

My blinks don't work but the hazards do. They seem to have a bad connection but I can't find it. Even when they did come on they never blinked, I would have to do it manually while driving :classic: . Since that flashers work I am guessing the problem lies in the dash somewhere, or in the steering column. Does this problem sound familiar. I know it can't be the turn signal because I just got it, along with the ignition. ??? Frankenstein Z

When I took my 72 240z to get inspected, the parking lights and taillights just stopped working. I took it home and cleaned the contacts on the fuse for those lights and it came on fine. (this being after removing the cover to the steering column to check on the combination switch which i did not remove/modify/mess with etc and put it back on). My problem is that I have everything else working and now my turn signals no longer function as they had before today. When I try to activate either signal, I get no clicks or dash indicators and the lights do not blink. Any ideas what could be wrong? I removed the steering column cover again and visually inspected the mechanism a…

I had a chance at a 76 280z a few days ago and jumped on it. The guy I bought it from says the last mechanic said it had an air problem, somewhere in the conversation it came up the mechanic said the engine was worn, sounded like timing to me... Anyways, I drive this thing home praying its gonna make it, popping backfiring , yadda yadda. As soon as I get off work yesterday I run home to play with it. First thing I find is brand new plug wires, angle boots on cap but the connectors were straight and 3 werent even close to being in the cap and 2 werent all the way connected at the spark plug end, I was happy as a pig in, well , you know. I thought I was gonna get off easy..…

I purchased two new gaskets for my 240 rear diff. I thought this would be a no brainer. I also purchased an air tool set up and a new compressor. I figured It was time to get serious with my Z. I put it up on JAck stands and started to look around. It looks as though I have to drop the front cross member for the rear diff and also the two cross bars that connect it to the body. With this done the rear I-bean fall down for the rear tires and the diff starts to fall. Am I doing this all wrong. I really need to replace the seal and clean this unit up.

Can a bad AFM prevent your Z from starting/flooding? My plugs aren't soaking wet but smell like gas. These are my 2nd set of plugs. B4 I had the Bosch and now I have the NGK's. I haven't done anything to the AFM yet but wanted to have it looked at before I take it to the Z tech in my area.....The connection is on at the bottom but I haven't been able to examine it THOROUGHLY!
