I see the notch you are talking about. To me it look like it's bad fit with the plastic and the bent metal. I have never gotten any water in side of the cabin in that area so it must not leak on my car. Here is a real closup of the corner area.

Speedo here is a picture of what I have had on my car for at least 30 year.

Tomo here are best I have from my 76. Mine does not have any drain holes, the water runs off the lip or sill area.

I have State Farm with a stated amount of $18,500 for my car. I did have a local car appraiser look over the car and got an appriasal from him. I sent the appraisal and lots of pictures to the agent and got my stated policy. It cost around $85 every 6 mo.

I have 24 left with two kinds of screws 4 have round philips heads like the original to my 76 car. And the rest are a more squaired round philips head. I don't need them at all, I had to buy a box of 25. I ended up getting them from some auto parts supplyer I found on the internet and had to call them and the owner of the place just happened to be in to old cars, He said he usually did not sell to individuals, but after I explained my situation he thought it was cool. They are as close as I could find to mine. On the box it says Not supplied by OEM. Headlamp adj nut and screw. Datsun Toyota 69-72. Let me know what you think.

I have a bunch from a box of 25 left over that are very similar to the original ones on a 76-280. I will check this weekend and post a picture so you can see them. I changed a couple of mine and they worked great.

Here is a thread about the image on the knob. here Here is a site with similat knobs. Here

I have on my stock 76 - 280 205/70/14 and no rubbing at all, I had on the back prior 215/60/14 and no rubbing there.

Thanks All.

I have had her a ling time since Feb. of 76, the original owner, she turns 39 this month.

Looks like the lead actor on the new TV show Scorpion on CBS is driving an orange or red (110 red) 77 or 78 280. It even had what looks like duct tape on the passengers seat. The rest of the car looked very good. FYI

Are you sure it was a vacuum and not an inside pressure release. Mine has been doing that since I got the car. Mine is more pressure, like the gas cap pushes off when it is released. It seems to be harder when the tank is emptier then when it is full. FYI Mike

I had to replace a couple of mine when I reworked my head lights. I bought a box of 25 screws and the plastic receivers. I have a lot left, if you want some let me know (MP me and I can send them to you). If you look at the picture very close you can see the new ones.

To all, I went to the Pittsburgh Grand Prix car show on Sunday, it was about a 13 mile trip each way and I had no problems at all even in stop and go traffic. This is with the new fuel filter. I am inclined to think, and crossing my finger's that it was just water. I will find out eventually. I want to thank everyone for the help.

Here is the latest on my car problems. I went to a car show two weeks ago that was about 10 miles from my home and the car ran great, not one problem and I did not do anything to the car. I even put the old fuel filter back on the car. So I am still a a loss as to the original problem. Last weekend I put on the new fuel filter and a fuel pressure gage that I got from Jegs. The car idles at around 28 lbs. and the pressure does go up when you hit the gas but go back down to around that same area. Also I checked the spark plugs after the drive back from the car show and I attached the picture of them. #6 is at the left and #1 is at the right. They are kind of black and grey. Thoughts and one. Thanks Michael

Well I went to the car show today and did not have one problem to or from the show. I drove about 8 to 9 miles way. The temp at 9:30 this morning was around 73 degrees and the temp on the way home at 4pm was around 80 degrees with a very light rain. The ride both ways was very nerve racking just waiting for something to happen. I am still going to change the gas filter when I get it. I am probably going to get a HEI Module, new spark plugs, rotor and cap and the coil. I do need some help on the coil and HEI module, where to get them and which ones, the car is a 11/75 build. The spark plugs I think should be BP6ES. Thanks for all the help.

OK folks, here is what I did on the 4th. I got the car to use the fuel pump and I pumped 4 gallons of gas out the the car through a clear hose in to a 5 gallon can. The gas was a clear as if I had just pumped in form a gas station. So I went ahead and put on the old gas filter to see what would happen. The thing started right up and I let it set in the drive for 20 minutes running so it would warm up. The temp was up to normal and the oil pressure was normal. So I went for a very short ride, I got about 200 yards and the car started the same thing as I originally posted. I coasted to a stop and tried to start it and it started right up and then died again. I waited around 4 minutes and was going to have a couple of guys help push the car back to the garage so I tried it again and is started. I got it back in the drive and it was running like normal. So I ventured out again and met a friend on the street and took them for a ride, this time with some 5K rpm accelerations and not a miss or hesitation, we went for a good 5 to 7 minutes and about a mile on up and down some hill. I know the car is getting gas because when trying to restart it I can smell gas as the car I did not check the plugs to see how they were, I might do that tomorrow, I want to go to a car show tomorrow morning and it's about 10 miles form the house so I am kind of hesitant.

Zed, my system the charcoal canister and gas cap are very intact, when I open the gas cap there is usually positive pressure in the system. Blue, I know I run a little rich, I will check the connectors that you showed in your techtips. I think my AFM is a little off. I will not be able to do anything till Friday, but I will get back to you all, thanks for the help. I just assumed that my car might be immune to any real problems, guess not. thanks Mike.

OK guys I did some checking just 15 minutes ago. The car started and idled with out any problems, I had to move it a couple of feet over so I backed it up and over a very short distance and it ran normal. Blue - all the spark plugs are even in color and a dark black. Not sure if this is normal for my car or not. I have not looked at the plugs for over 10 years. AJ / siteunseen - I removed the fuel filter, probably the original to the car and a lot of rusty colored gas ran out the bottom. I am going to buy a new one. Zed - The park drive was about 4 miles and not very energetic at all. It was just a drive through the park witch is 200 yard from my home. Got the car up to around 4K for shifting. The tack was not doing anything crazy seemed to move with the speed of the engine. I might have to drain the tank, where is the solenoid wire located? Thanks for the help, I will not be able to work on the car till Friday. Mike

Car is a 76 - 280 totally stock and was running great, no problems at all. I have a car show next week to go to and wanted to clean the car up a bit, so I got it home and worked on it (cleaning up) and add two 5 gallon cans of gas that I have had for about 3 mo. to the gas in the car , made almost a full tank. Took the neighbor for a quick trip around the park and dropped him off and want to take the car back to the garage I keep it in. This is when every thing when crazy. The car started to juke and buck as I accelerated until it just would quit running. It would restart and run for about a minute and do the same thing. I finally got out of the car in a parking lot and got it started and kept it running by burping the throttle, drove it about a 1/2 mile and it just died. Got it restarted and drove it the last mile to the garage and parked it in the drive and it idled fine until I parked in the garage. My question is could it be from some water in the gas from the cans I pored in it? I do use gas stabilizer and I pored some in when I garaged the car. I just ordered a fuel pressure gauge an will install it next weekend to check the pressure. Some ideas would be great on the cause. I have never experienced anything like this before. Thanks Mike.
