Do we have a junkyard thread for Z's yet?

damn this sucks haha.. but thanks for the replies.. p.s. I am searching for a wiring harness for my car

Hello, As some of you know.. i am having problems with my electrical i own a 78z and i want to swap my efi for carbs. my question is can i do that in the state of CA? I know my car is 30 yrs old but i still need it smogged ..

I checkd my FSM and i cant find anything on why the links are blowing.. Curtis do u know of any source that would lead me towards an answer? thanks again!

sweet thanks curtis, i looked at the FSM but i got confused when tracing the wires, ill take a look tomorrow morning thanks! so if i hooked it up wrong will it cause the fusible link to blow? also this one keeps blowing (circled in orange)

I have a 78 z and was wondering which wire goes to the negative and which goes to the positive , i have a blue wire and a black wire . I think the person who had it before me switched over and i am confused ps. will this cause my fusible link to blow when they are hooked wrong? thanks in advance

congrats on the find!!

cant wait to see this seasons bull run.. i miss the first season

I was wondering what will cause my fusible link to blow up I have a 78 280z so the fusible link area (ignition and efi relay) blew up. thanks bee!

last night i was fiddling with the fusible links and i heard clicking sounds.. then i tested continuity with my voltmeter and sure enough two of them are out.. the reason why i did not suspect it to be the fusible links is because there are no burn marks and they look good but dont let it fool you , so yea im in the market for links

sblake, i want to thank you for your quick responses i am going to switch a two wires up because there are two wires that goes to relays so yea..

Sblake I put together the yellow with Black yellow , white red wity white black, blue red with black red and black white with black white

so sblake, i can use the 79 connector without a problem right?

Sblake i am from the 626 area its the pasadena area Can someone confirm that the 78z igntion switch only uses 4 wires while the 79zx uses 5? I am wondering because i dont see any sign of a missing wire and also on the 78z wiring schematic there are double "x"s on the ignition switch. thanks!! btw the 77z has 5 as well

hey friar-tuck , my buddy is going to get me a hardcopy of the FSM so i am going to wait thanks for the link tho

how do u know if the relay is bad?

Hey thanks for the warm welcome So a little background story of the car. I got the car Nov 5 as a 21st bday present. The car was owned by a man who's son was a crackhead.. he ran out of cash so he started pulling parts off the car and selling them. The ignition switch connector was snipped off (because he thought he could hot wire it) but he failed. Another thing is that the Transistor ignition unit(TIU) was split in half .. but i got that replaced. so thats a little bit of history. now to the car.. i replaced the connector since it was missing but it is from a 79 zx. I tried my best and i got it all hooked up. When I turn the key to on acc or start, there is no reaction. The volt meter and clock works , so does the headlights, tail lights etc. thats it for now -bee

hey guys! im new to the forums! my name is bee! im hoping to get my Z running soon I try my best to start it but i have no luck
