new harness & fuse block

At this point in the game with my 73 240Z alot has changed. With the change in plans (88 corvette tpi 350 w/brain) I have been looking at doing A full rewire with newer style fuse block from painless.

As anyone who has or had A early Z can tell you there elec. systems can be A nightmare. I am just looking to get away from elec. problems later. At this point I have my Z 's interior all out other then the dash now and am thinking this would be the time for this.

Now I have done A painless kit before but that was on my 74 corvette and with that car the name of the kit (painless) fit. It took time but no big deal.

If anyone else has taken this on with A 240Z maybe you could share some ins n outs on this.

Thanks

when I got my car it had a billion problems with it's electrical system, because the owner before me had tried to rewire it himself. As a result, the headlights were wired in series, and the horn didn't operate, as well as the blower motor, and defroster.

I tried to fix it myself, but then realized that I would probably mix it all up worse, so I took it to a shop and had them do it. I am glad I did because when I called in to check on it, the mech. said "oh, wait, are you talking about the electrical nightmare".

So if there is problems with electrical in this type of car I would recommend having someone who knows what they are doing do it, or making sure you know EXACTLY what you are doing when you do it.

good luck to ya

I know what your sayin all to well. prev. owner damage is why I needed to redo my 74 vette.

Sorry, stupid question here. But what exactly would I need to order from them for a 74 260?

There is no such thing as A "Stupid question".

At this point they dont offer A kit that is for the Datsun/ Nissan.

Your best bet is call and tell them what you are doing and they will put A kit togather for your needs.

If you have no clue as to what you are doing 1st find A shop that will do it for you. Then let them order the kit for you and install it.

Let A pro do it the first time. much less money.

Any idea on what area of pricing this would fall in?

when I had all my electrical problems fixed professionally, I took it to the best z guy around where I live. Because he is the best he was a little pricy, but its worth it for my baby. after everything I had done it came out to about $800.

(they pretty much redid the whole wiring harness, and replaced my turn signals and stuff)
