The 73 schematic differs if Automatic or Manual.

Could you state which one you have?

It is a 4 speed. Thanks.

I was getting ready to send you the file with the SCHEMATIC for your year and tranny when I realized that what you wanted was the FUSE box info. Sorry, here goes:

There are 4 - 10Amp Fuses and 6 - 20Amp fuses.

Their location and value is as follows: (starting at the Top Left, going down and then Top Right down)

1) 20A - Air Conditioning

2) 20A - Wiper

3) 20A - Flasher

4) 10A - Horn

5) 20A - Stop Lamp

6) 10A - Left Headlight

7) 10A - Right Headlight

8) 20A - Parking Lamps

9) 10A - Dome Lamp

10) 20A - Common

Don't be misled by the names, some of them are plainly obvious like the headlamp circuits and horn. However, the A/C fuse, if you don't have A/C you might be tempted to leave out, but it also runs the Radio and Antenna.

Hope this helps.

By the way, if you get a chance to find a Clymer Publications Datsun Service Repair Handbook, I would recommend that one over the Chilton's. Note however, that the one you want is the one with the double black stripe border around a full picture of a red Z at a marina. The Red cover Clymer's also has the same car, but it has the notation "Full Color" and a bold Red cover. That one unfortunately really REALLY got edited. The first one is like a condensed Factory Shop Manual.

Do you have a layout for a 1983 280zx?

What kind of fuses does the 83zx have, the blade type or the barrel glass type. I have an 81zx, its got the barrel glass type so if yours is like that I can post the 81zx stuff.
