Just like a threeway switch in you're home, no?

Ok I am going to order the amazon ones. The cost is so low what can I really loose?

So 87a would be left out of the circuit?

Well again good luck. I hope it works out for you.

Beer just came out my nose!

I thought about the amazon ones because it seemed to be a good deal with the socket and fuse holder bundled.

I am thinking of doing a headlight relay upgrade for my 280z. though I have though about David Irwin's upgrade his is not compatible with a 280z, so I am thinking of doing a hardwired upgrade. So no I am trying to find the best relay to use. Would this work? http://www.amazon.com/Absolute-RLS125-12-VCD-Automotive-Relay/dp/B0002KR9GG it has 5 pins not four though.

You could try not moving it so much. If you don't move it it will not sound so loud. turn up the radio when you move it

Nice car! looks like 280z hubcaps.

sounds like you're ignition relay. I can't say for sure as I have a 280z, but it may be located near the fuse box. http://www.xenons130.com/reference.html I looked at it I think it is near the glove box.

Thanks I think I found what I was looking for from youre first link. Strange that it is so hard to find these. E-bay of all places.

Also I do recall there are some Z owners in you're area that may help you sort out any Z issues once you get it.

well if you look close you can see that it's a bad repaint with rust issues. Looks like the wiring has been messed with, the dash cover has been screwed to the dash and I am sure many other issues. but I'll bet it could be talked down and the rust may be delt with. Anyhow for 3000 bucks I am sure a decent z that needs some work can be had.

Keep you're eyes peeled, for 3k you can find a pretty decent z near you. Try craigs list. Good luck and keep an eye out for the usual rust. After searching for less then one minute: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/2813385577.html There is some rust (the usual)

That looks like it would work but I would prefer a fused distribution block. One fat wire in and four out. I looked up Coopers web site, They have some options but not really what I am after. Still looking.

yes I have seen that thread and I would consider that solution but I cannot find that fuse block anywere including Stinger's website.

Noooooooooo! For free somone must be interested. If I lived in California I would give it a home.

I know this has been gone over before. When I fist got my Z the P.O. had removed the whole relay bracket and fusible links and scabbed in some maxi fuse connectors. Since, I have found the relay bracket and repaired some of the wiring and installed a maxi fuse distribution block, but it's a Micky mouse unit from shucks. It not designed to handle the amps. I am looking for a new one but I cannot seem to find an appropriate one anywhere. it would be nice to find one that has a weather tight cover. Any ideas?

You had a really nice start on the project. I hope it goes to a good home.

The Fry's Electronic store just south of me do.

My 77 does the same thing. It's strange that it happens when it sits for about 5 or 10 min. but cold it runs great.

It's just not possible to diagnose you're problems with the information you have provided. The volt meter/parking/tail light description has nothing to do with engine backfire. You are looking at at least two issues (probably more). I second Zed Head, Just sell it as is and let the potential buyer know the issues, if most of the car is sound the buyer may most likely be able to solve the problems them self.

In the past I have routed around the bad connector pins. Now I am in favor of repairing the plugs. It is possible. Search for molex connector pins.

Looks very pretty! but it looks like something/things are missing ?????
