Williams Bay Wi. area
Marty: Great to here from another Z owner, and local at that! Williams Bay is located on Lake Geneva, Wi. The Z is a 73`. I am not asking anybody to do the work, just give me info, of what might possibly be the problem/s. Ignition switch is non op. Got a new elec unit for the back part of the switch, that`s not the problem. I short the starter, engine turns over, will not start. No spark to the plugs, got a new coil, still no start. If you ever get up this way, maybe you could stop by and take a look. The car has zero rust, original paint, It`ll be great when it runs and gets repainted, I can`t wait. Regards, Mike. P.S. If you want to call, the Ph. # 1-262-245-1377, cell # 1-262-949-9544, reverse the charges, or call collect.

Wiring
Got a 73`Z. When I turn the ignition key from the lock position the engine turns over and starts. I then turn it back to the lock position. To turn it off I turn quickly to off. The actual start position on the switch doe`s nothing! Bought another switch, same situation. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shortening Struts
Thanks for the info. Had an original 72 Z, and lowered it about 1.5 in. The ride was uncomfortable. Now that I`am more " mature" (old) I want more comfort and still have a cool looking car. Thanks again, MikeT73.

Engine for a 240Z
Got a 73Z. Engine is a giant paperweight. Will a 280Z engine work in the car. Is there quicker acceleration with the 280 engine, i.e., more torque?

My Z is similar to your 73` with 72 carbs. If you can, check out my rebuild carb question. Regards, MikeT73.

carburetor rebuild
Got a 73` Z with retro 72 carbs. Mechanic says they need a rebuild, won`t hold an idle unless choke is open half way otherwise it dies. It`s $400 for them to do it. Should I attempt it myself or leave it to a pro. This guy is trustworthy.

Noise in the differential
Accelerated on a curved on-ramp, went about a half mile, then heard a rumbleing sound from the rear end. Anyone want to hazard a guess? Car seems to run o.k., but a somewhat higher pitched rumble is still present, although it`s not real loud. Hope it`s nothing more than needing oil ( It`s NEVER that CHEAP or EASY!). Regards, MikeT73
