will 280z 2+2 seats fit in a coupe?
Are you really sure? perhaps they can. I don't know myself as I have never tried but people install all sorts of different seats ranging from BMW to Mazda's in there car. I would be surprised if 2+2 seats could not be fitted. Perhaps just swapping out slide hardware.

Question about water temp switch?
switch or sensor? Anyhow I don't know why one would want to remove the sensor. If it is bad it's a really cheap item to replace.

Hot Start Problem - a new clue and a work-around
Just thinking out loud: What if there was an Air temp sensor that had the same resistance range as an inline resistore or pot people are putting inline from the WTS. Then if you mounted it near the fuel rail you would have automatic compinsation for the hot condition. Probably this would not work and there is no such atp in existance. Just thinking out loud.

fuel injection to webber carbs
I know I am not answering you're question, but there are ways of getting the EFI system to perform well. Search the forum or ask what you're symptoms are and you will get help. But at the least you will need of course, a new intake monifold and carbs, but you know this already.

welcome, Pics? Hey, since you mentioned parts can you spare a set of headlight pigtails and there respective connectors, The round three pin ones (280z). I am having Dave build me a headlight harness. I have some odds and ends I could trade

Don't own one... yet
Looks like you have at the least done some homework. Check for rust (even with fresh paint). The car pictured has a 280z hood, missing rear bumper sides and a really strange looking front bumper (perhaps a front end incedent). Clutch replacement is one of the easer jobs and should not cost much, $100-$150 if you do it yourself. Talk him way down considering it is not a running car. Good luck.
