1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build

Got the hood on today

The paint chips incredibly easy. Way too easy it seems. It will probably have to be reworked at some point. We'll see

I reworked the black wire on this voltage regulator

My middle daughter was here with her boyfriend and they're good shop help!

We got all the cooling system hooked up.

Fuel lines on the carbs. They bled all the brakes and we primed the fuel pump. Once I get the 280zx matchbox hooked up, it might start.

I have lots of electrical problems..

Can someone give me a short course on how these should go to the coil for a 280zx matchbox setup??

I grabbed a picture of a later ZX ICM, but this will work.

Coil positive to the +. Coil negative to the -. Coil negative should only have one wire going to the ICM.

I believe the non-latching 2 pin 6.3mm connector from Vintage Connections should plug into it. https://www.vintageconnections.com/products/6-3mm-connectors?variant=46131501138241

Yeah, I have that part wired. It's the factory harness wires to the coil I am unsure of

We started the car today!! Didn't require Ether and it's being fed off a temp fuel source but it runs!!

Lots of electrical issues still.

I figured out where the 2 of the 4 wires at the coil go. I have 2 left. I'm not sure what to do with them. I believe the Green one feeds the Tach which is currently INOP. I could use help with that so I don't damage anything

I have a number of loose wires in the dash.

Heater fan doesn't work.

Headlights don't work.

Wiper motor works intermittently, mainly on high.

I fixed the brake lights today...

Alternator isn't working. I tried a different regulator today. It didn't appear to help. We had some smoke out of the dash today and my help said the Ammeter was way over to the right...

Its making noise!! Thats a milestone for sure. You may want to check the connectors in the passenger footwell that feed the dash. I had a wire that had backed out of the connector and even though the connector was plugged in the wires weren't connected. I think I have a large laminated wiring diagram if that might help, let me know and I can send it to you.

Yes, that might be helpful!
