  1. Thanks Zed, I think I can figure out now. The previous owner (I think ) tampered with some of wiring.
  2. I used that wire on 1st attempt but, it drew too much power from coil & caused car to "cut-out" at higher rpms. Are you able to see in manual which accessories are shared on that fuse (A/C?)?
  3. What is best source for switched 12v for electric fuel pump? Mine was connected to coil but, robbed power at high rpm causing car to "cut-out". Now I have connected to battery with manual switch under dash (pain in but). I'm considering going back to mechanical pump. Is there a good power source for pump that is ignition switched?

  5. I don't think this is fair example of prices for a "quality" Z. I would hate to see what a 1200-1800 example looks like. I going to bet $1200 would get you a pile of rust not a early 240z. I sold a Jensen Healey (lotus drive train) about 4 years ago because I could not stand that there is "no-way" to stop a British car from leaking oil all over garage

    I'm no expert on 280's but, have you check with test light to see if it is 12v or, ground that is faulty? If you've already checked the basic: fuse box & (in-line fuse?) I would just run new wire to solid power source. FYI- Mine was wired to coil by PO & figured out that it was robbing power from coil at higher rpms.

    I think the new 370 coupe will give new GT Mustang a run. Sorry but, no chance in an 80's ZX (still nice looking car though).

    I'll post one in the classified if u want it. Suggest putting rubber between pump & frame otherwise kinda' noisy
  9. butterscotch door panels & seat for 73 240z? I'm putting back from black
  10. Definitely interested in tach since mine is not working. Please let me know if decide to sell & how many wire on back. I think there are 2 different versions
  11. i tried on Friday but, was already sold. Good find Spider4me, I wonder if the tach works. that tach alone was worth more then $60.

    Maybe I should check around for an RX-7 fuel pump. The Holly works great but, noisy as H*&&. Thanks, I wont block the return line

    I think that it will stop when pressure is reached (is that considered on-demand?). It is a Holley "Red" from Motorsports

    Was recently suggested to me that I block-off the fuel return to prevent the fuel pump from running constantly. Any opinions on whether this is a good or, bad idea? PS: I have a 73' 240 with round tops

    You can also get generic black in "help" section of most franchise auto part stores.
