That "other" handle is called the Manual Throttle. An early form of cruise control. To my knowledge none of the 240Z's imported into the USA were allowed to have that feature installed. I'm not sure what the laws of Canada allowed.On your 71 240Z there is limited adjustment of the seatback angle. It is accomplished through the "big round knob" at the junction of the seat bottom and seatback. Rotate the knob and you can get a small amount of angle change.

Alfadog Posted April 5, 2003 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2003 The hand throttle was probably removed by the P.O.... they're not the safest of levers!They mechanically pull the accelerator pedal down, and will not let go of it unless you push the lever back. I'm sure you could imagine why this wouldn't be very safe in certain situations!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
