I see the following used alot. ZED What does ZED stand for??

Check ebay, a new fuel pump bracket was listed today. not mine but thought you might be interested. Happy New Year to All

My brake lines to the new master cylinder are indeed backwards. I did not get them changed but will post after I do get them changed. On the orginal 72 MC the front brakes go to the front reservoir and on the larger ZX MC the front goes to the back reservoir. I hope this helps with the pedal.

I hope not. the front one on the MC goes to the front brakes right. This is a 72Z

I did install the ZX master. I will try adjusting the pin. I will be careful to make sure it is not pressing on the master when not engaged. I hope this works. I'll let you know how it turns out. It's snowing out and way too cold for me to be working in the garage this weekend so hopefully next week.

Jack T, I did not move it out when I installed the new master. I will try that also. Good idea.

I did the rears at the same time as the fronts. When I adjusted the rears I tightened until the drums started rubbing on the shoel I think they are tight enough but not sure. The brake pedal height seems right, it matches the clutch pedal. Can look at the turnbuckle but that is tough to get at.

The car stops just fine but the pedal does not grab until it's almost completely down. I will try the suggestions from Daniel the 240z man this weekend if it's not too cold out. The caliper bleeders on on the top. I have new stainless steel brake lines that replaced the rubber lines. I have new rebuilt rear cylinders also. Brakes seem to be working correctly. When I lock them fronts lock and the car goes straight. Does not pull. I have bled the system three different times.

Daniel, Thanks for the reply, I have new rotors, calipers, pads and wheel bearings. I'm stumped. I'm in Colorado Springs, we should get together some time.

Should have mentioned. Have checked the disk and it is also good. Still there and the master vac is also new.

I have read most all of the info on the toyota caliper change over. I put new toyota calipers on my 72 Z. Brakes work fine, not much better than the stock calipers but my brake pedal is way down and I can't get it to come up. I hate it and think I should go back to orginal to get good pedal feel. FYI, I changed the master also to a larger one from a later Z, no help. Any suggestions before I go back to the way it was.

I was afraid of that. Had hoped I would not have to remove the hood. I tried to put them on with the grill off but I could not get enough leverage to force them into the holder. Thanks, I guess I have a new project.

On my 73Z the front hood torsion bars are not attached to the hood hinges. I have obtained a set but can not figure out how to install them. I have searched the sites but have not found any info on installing. Is there a way to get them installed without taking the hood or hinges off?

Does anyone have a line on a set already in Colorado? shipping these wheels almost does not mak sense.

Take it to a different radiator shop. I had mine boiled and sealed for $100 last year. $400 is way out of line.

Johnny'O Please let me know if they have some 73 date stamped wheels and how much. Thanks

Greg I don't want the tires do you know what it would cost to have them removed and cost to ship to 80919?

Does anyone know where to get a reproduction new car window sticker. They sell them for the mussle cars but I would like to get one for my Z

Thanks but I'm looking for the steel wheels that the hubcabs go on. I like the color of your car.

Hi guys I'm looking for a set of orginal steel wheels for a 1973 240z. Looking for a set in great condition. I know someone out there has a set sitting around. Please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help

The only thing that bothers me is the auto trans. What are your thoughts on how this effects the value of the car?

Does anyone know this car? Can it be real?
