Free Parts! (Some to trade also)

[DeMoore]

So I thought this would be a good thread to maybe keep going for the benefit of the Z family here.

I got a box of parts that came with my 78. Some are for a 78, some for 260z, and I was wondering if maybe any regulars from the forum needed any for their Z. Of course, shipping would have to be paid by whoever wants them, but I have a postage scale, so you'd be paying only exactly what you needed to. Not sure what to do about payment methods, but maybe this isn't a good idea anyway. Either way, I'll give my parts away.

This might be a good thread for trading, too, but that would probably not be too common.

To kick things off, I have a speedometer from a 260z that should fit all years, not sure. It has a small scratch on the lip, but it's good and was working as far as I know when removed.

I also have a brake caliper taken from the same 260, I think it goes to the back. it' very clean.

To trade, I bought a Haynes manual from Ebay and it only gives instructions for the 240a and the 260z, with a one-chapter supplement for the 280 that I find almost useless. The book was originally written after the build of the 260, and when they did a reprint, someone thought it was good enough to just add a chapter for the 280z and that would be enough. I have a 280 and I'm sure a lot of the instructions are the same, but I don't want to have to guess for every procedure. If anyone has a haynes manual with "240z, 260z, and 280z" on the cover, not just "240z and 260z", than I will pay the shipping to do a swap.

Hope this thread is a half-good idea, but if it's not, I don't care. I'll just put the parts up on ebay. I hope someone here needs them!

Also, I have a rebuilt chevy 400 is anyone's thinking about doing a conversion and has a good 280z engine, or something else.
