please i need a pic of the ignition and wires connected to it for 71 240z, i am putting everything back together but do not remember what wires go to the ignition. a picture would help .thanks carl h

Try downloading the wiring diagram from xenons30.com

That should help.

a picture will help only

Believe it or not, the FSM has pictures too.

FSM pictures suck for proper detail. Do you need the coil area, the distributor, or both?

steering column area wires behind the ignition

Are you referring to the ignition switch or all of the wiring harness on the steering column?

The wiring at the steering column is very straightforward... IF the connectors are still attached to the wires.

Maybe I'm reading more into this than is there, but if you're needing a pictorial on the wiring in that area, my thoughts are that the wires have either been cut, or somehow you've lost all the connections/connectors.

It may be simpler for YOU to post a picture of the wiring as YOU have it, and let us take a crack at helping you than your trying to figure out the wiring by looking at pictures that may not show the detail you will need.

you are right i have connected all dash wiring and there is nothing left to connect to the ignition can remember if there was aseperate wire that is why i am asking for someone to show me a pic of the ignition wiring .thanks carl h

OK, that's tougher. First, I'd need to pull the column cover of, then try to get my honking big camera back in there to try to take a meaningful picture.

But this is really pretty simple, as the ignition switch/lock only has one large connector (5 pin), and two small wires (generally red w/blue trace) for the key-in-the-ignition squealer. There's really nothing else to it, and not much that you can mess up.

Pictures of an ignition lock/switch from a 4/71 build 240Z. Is the same as for my 7/71 as well.

This is from the 73 FSM. Chances are that your wire colors are the same.

Expect a six wire plug with five wires and the following colors:

Black with Yellow stripe

Black with White stripe

White with Red stripe

Blue with Red stripe

Green with White stripe

There should be two other wires, one with a male spade and another with a female spade. One of those wires is red.

Download a copy of the FSM and look at the Instrument Harness page in section BE for details on the plug.
