The Wizard Of Z

quick insert, as far as 2 more thing thats been a problem my heater or defrosted does not work at all, i move the switch over and itws very loose, i switch it back and forth from on to off and nothing happens at all, but if i move it off of heat to vent that works just fine, fact its all that works is the vents

well there 17" as for the brand im not sure, they had to be custom made though cause i guess they didnt make ones that fit my year

hello its nice to join you all, ive been looking for a site like this for a very long time, its nice to have a site like this that pretty much covers any questions and solutions a z owner mite have, well i have my very first z car, its a 1972 204 z, its been completely rebuilt from the ground up, and it has a new 280 z engine with dual round top su carbs and a 280z 5 spd transmission, it was originally for a buddy of mine but he didnt want it anymore, so i joined in and helped him and his dad build it and then later i bought, it just hit 10k miles on the engine, and is now 6 years old since we built it, i have many problems though and hopefully someone can give me some answers, i have problems with over heating, reverse lights not comming on, rough starts and still runs for a couple of second when i shut the car off, gas and temp gauges do not work, here a couple of pics if you care to look, thank you guys for letting me join and have a great day! http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar18.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar15.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar14.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar13.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar12.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar11.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar10.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/xfaln2piecesx/mycar9.jpg

hello, i have a 1972 240 z, my friend and his dad rebuilt the whole car and then i purchased it off them, it has a new 280 engine in it, im not sure of the year, and it has the dual webber carbs on it, lately ive been having some problems with it, when i start it in the mornings or let it sit for more then a couple of hours and try and start it, i have to let it sit for about 5 mins cause it wont hold up and idle well, and it sounds like its flooded or something, till i step on the gas and i have to floor it all the way and it sounds like i blow out whatever is clogging it or is flooded, then it runs smooth as ever, its a pain in the arse to do this every day and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, also in addition i think my car over heats, my temp gage doesnt work though so i dont know for sure, but when im driving and just ideling in traffic or something, all the sudden my rpm just dropps and if i dont keep on the gas it will stall and i cant start it up right away, please if anyone can help let me know
