My Speedo is off by about 12%. To keep tabs on how fast I'm going I just use my GPS.

I'm having the same problem with my 70. When cranking the engine runs. It stops as soon as the starter stops. I can't restart it again for about 10 minutes after the first try. I cleaned the fuel filters, the electric fuel pump works, there is power at the resister when the switch is on. I have a recently rebuilt stock distributor, an altimator with a solid state voltage regulator and a battery that is less than a year old. Now what?

Try checking your Amp Gauge. I just had this problem wing my 240 and forund the gauge bad. Bypassed the gauge, for now, and charge the battery at a constant 14.5V.

I drove my Z at 60MPH according to the GPS and watched the odometer. It took 52 seconds to go an odometer mile. I'm 15% fast. I'll look into changing the speedo gear next. Thanks for the help.

The trans is the original 4 speed. I'll check the odomer this weekend.

I'm having toruble with my speedometer. I always thought that the speedometer was reading fast. After installing a GPS in my 70 Z I found out that my speedometer is way off. When the speedometer is reading 59, I am actually going 50. The tires are the correct size according to the data in the car, 175SR14's. Are there different rear gears or whole rears that can be used? The rear may have been changed by a previous owner, but I'm not sure. What can I do?

I found a bad fuse holder and installed an in line fuse to replace it. Now I have tail lights, still no parking lights or turn signals. Anu ideas?

I'll use a multimeter tonight ans see what I can find. Thanks for the help.

I have a problem that someone else must have had. The headlights and brake lights on my 70Z work but I don't have any parking lights, tail lights, side marker lights, or turn signels. The back up lights and flashers work. I have replaced the combo switch and checked all the fuses. All ok. I have pulled apart and reconnected all the push to connect wires that I could find and still nothing? Any ideas? sawdust2005

There are many Z car clubs in the area. York has a very active club and I get a lot of events from the DC and Up State NY and NJ areas.

I've been having a problem keeping the car running without backfireing. That's why I changed the distributor. The carbs were leaking and I could not adjust the jets. I installed rebuilt carbs but I need to get the timeing right before I try to adjust the carbs.

Yes, but there were other problems too.

I have a problem with my 70Z backfireing though the carbs. I the stationary timing marker is gone and i really don't have any idea where the timing should be or if I get it close. Whenever I think I have the car running correctly it changes after running a while. I replaced the distributor with a Malory electronic one and also replaced the coil. Help!!

Bought the car in Florida and drove it home. Photoes were taken in Florida.
