Thanks, MEZZZ, I downloaded the file and will check it out. Yes, I know what you mean about putting back together. I have taken mine apart a few times. I let it sit for about 3 years, and everything went to the dogs. Now I am having to work my way back to a good running Z. I am almost there. I have just a small problem and if I have to, it will be taken to the Nissan dealer to analyze. I have replaced just about everything. When this car is right, it flies. Thank you for the info.

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 280 77 model. Have been getting to much fuel. I just redone the head and put timing chain on. Still having problem with rich fuel intake. Not sure if I have wiring correct to the Thermotime switch and other senors, but believe I do have it right. The only thing that is bothering me about the wiring is the cold start neg. side seems to be the positive side or getting the current, if I am looking at it correct. When I start up the Z, I get gray smoke out the exhaust and has a gas smelling ordor. There is some moisture coming out the exhaust pipe. It starts with a light spray,then drip to the size of a small orange on the ground. Once the engine heats up the smoke stops and the moisture. Is there anyway to check the cold start value? I am thinking it has never been replaced or the Thermotime switch. Any suggestions at this point are very welcome. Thanks, rick

I am new to the club. Hope to be able to get a little help with the 77 280Z. Just got the head resurfaced and back together. I think I have some wires crossed on the Thermotime switch and maybe the temp senor. Before I put it back together this time I was getting a lot of extra fuel on the plugs, but hopefully I got it back right. You guys have a great afternoon. Seeya, Rick1946
