    I turned on the light switch and pushed the turn signal down ever so gently and I got a smoke signal! F-R-I-E-D Took it apart and ordered a replacement combo for $100 new. I love my Z

    The right turn (flipping the turn signal up) is sloppy. Lights occasionally function by pulling the turn signal back like you are putting on the brights. I believe it is the switch but can't find one for sale that is quaranteed to work

    Put on my left signal this morning in my 1977 280 2+2 and the headlights died. Not working still! Do I need to replace the entire switch assy or can I do something to repair or bypass the dimmer/turn signal? My dash lights have been in and out for weeks as well. Same circuit, can I bypass something? Thanks Marty

    Did the grounds I saw engine and starter. Here is what hapens. Car runs and drives fine, everytime you turn on lights/flashers/apply brakes/fan/power antenna a draw happens. Then it clears and is normal..very fast! I did find out that the guy helping me briefly reversed the battery cables and got a quick arc. Battery is still good and I am thinking the regulator got zapped. Changing that out tomorrow. Car starts and runs.

    Sanded and cleaned everything I remembered. Car is in California and was garaged for most of it's life. Pretty clean.

    Sanded and cleaned all connections to starter and battery before I reconnected.

    When a load is placed on the battery like brake lights/fan etc.. while driving the radio goes out. Any ideas? Battery and starter just replaced happened right after. Regulator? It also rough idles

    Car rough idles, replaced PCV/Fuel Filter/Air Filter/Plugs. Car is automatic. It also acts like the battery is dead then fires right up! Passed California Smog with fantastic numbers..... Any ideas?
