Is there ANYBODY in my area that can help me? This would include nothern Ill., southern Wi., Iowa, Minn. regards, Mike.

General calls for help are best directed to the Police or the Fire Department.

You might want to explain yourself a bit.

Just seeking other Z enthusiast`s who might have insight and physically look into my Z car`s "idiosyncrasy`s". Have contacted a Z club in the nothern Chicago area, no response. Regards, Mike.

Mike T,

I live in Arlington Heights, IL and am a member of the Windy City Z Club. Where is Williams Bay? You are welcome to bring your car by for a look see. What is the problem that you are looking for advice on?

Marty

Marty: Great to here from another Z owner, and local at that! Williams Bay is located on Lake Geneva, Wi. The Z is a 73`. I am not asking anybody to do the work, just give me info, of what might possibly be the problem/s. Ignition switch is non op. Got a new elec unit for the back part of the switch, that`s not the problem. I short the starter, engine turns over, will not start. No spark to the plugs, got a new coil, still no start. If you ever get up this way, maybe you could stop by and take a look. The car has zero rust, original paint, It`ll be great when it runs and gets repainted, I can`t wait. Regards, Mike. P.S. If you want to call, the Ph. # 1-262-245-1377, cell # 1-262-949-9544, reverse the charges, or call collect.

With the non-running condition and problems you have described if you are unable to get another Z person to stop by and take a look-see you may just be better off taking it to a mechanic.

Mike,

Lake Geneva is probably an hour to hour and a half away. Unfortunately, I never get up into that area.

I would suggest you post again with a different subject to attract more attention. Maybe "Starting Problems". You would be amazed at the knowledge that can be obtained from the Z guru's on this site. You should describe the problem with as much detail as you possibly can. Describe what you have done to trouble shoot to this point.

Has this car been sitting for an extended period of time?

I am not aware of any Z Specialty shops in WI. If you have access to a trailer, I have a good shop in DesPlaines, IL that I highly recommend.

Marty
