Hello, Has anybody heared about this sort of thing, were each spark is controlled seperatly? Were can I find something like this? Is it really better than usual distributor? (Excuse for the mistakes... I'm french)

Okay. Wonderfull !! Yes, defenetly... but it's not running for the moment. My Z is in complet restoration for the moment. I wanted to know about all this stuff we talked about so that I knew if I could or not remove the metal parts (part of the body) that were necessary to hold the parts that I know now I'm going to remove. Not very clear... I'm a bit tired... Hope you understood...

I wonder if the vacuum tank is not usefull as a buffer zone (no man's land...sorry I don't exactly know how to translate the french word "tampon" which can meen a lot of things...). And if you remove the "magnet valve vacuum source", this means the "vacuum connector" is always connected to the heater system (right part of the scheme). Doesn't this matters? What controles this magnet valve exactly? When does it opens or shuts? Last question: can you show me (on the photograph of my engine or on an other one) what is the check valve? Thanks a lot. Your are realy helpfull

What is the emissions control system? What effect will it have on it? I'm doing what I can with my english... thanks for using simple words and even better : drawings

First thanks for all your answers. In my first message I talked about two different problems actually. I'm sorry but it's muddled up in my mind but it's getting better. This is maybe why you were wondering what I was asking for... The first thing was about the carbon canister and more generaly the vapor system. Obviously I don't have any. The second thing was about the vacuum system. I wan't to take off all the parts I can without turning down my engine performances (the heating system has to stay there) I join a photofraph of my engine (not running, don't panic ) and a scheme of the vacuum system. It might be easier if we use the same words (those on the scheme) and if we wright on these two papers. I have a manual gearbox.

I don't really know were to post this message I'm sorry... so I'll doit there. Hi, I'm Blaise and I live in south-west France. I'm restoring a 75' 280Z and I'd like to know somthing. Can I throw all the vacuum system to the bin? :nervous: I'm going to try and explain my situation. - I don't have (and don't want) any air conditionner system (actually all I have of the A/C is a sticker under the bonnet... ) - I wan't to keep the heating system (silly but not mad ) - I don't have any carbon canister (and don't specially wan't to buy one, I'm not selfish, I'm just a studant...). - I've got the Magnet Vacuum Valve and the vacuum accumulator tank but there were unpluged when I got the car and have no idea of where they have to be pluged. - I want to take off from the car these last two parts because I want a light aspect around my engine. I've got the Haynes but can't find anything about this vacuum system on 280Z. Can I take all this off? Will it modify the engine performances? Will it modify the petrol consumption? Will it be as environmental friendly as before? Thanks in advance for your help.
