S30Driver

Engine bay inspection light, emblems, ashtray, original radio and power antenna if they are still there. If it's a 73, the front bumper is different from the earlier cars. (if your plan is to convert your 280 bumpers) Take pictures.

As Cliff mentioned, if you pull the injectors, replace the seals to insure the is no vacuum leak issue. You can likely get the at a local parts store. Be careful removing the 2 philllips screws for each injector, you can ruin the heads easily. Consider replacing them with ss allen head cap screws which is a nice upgrade. To pressurize the fuel system, temporarily disconnect the small spade connected wire on the starter solenoid, then turn the ignition key to the start position. You should hear the fuel pump run. Stay warm ....

He has replaced the original distributor with an electronic ZX version Mark.

I think you might be on to something here Charles. i am guessing the 510 uses the same ignition switch as the S30 cars. If you have a good spare, unplug the the 510's switch and plug in the spare temporarily as a test without mounting it. Cody can just unplug the spare switch and take it with him as theft protection. If you need one, let me know & I can send you one.

Beautiful car! Mike W's kind of engine bay ... GLWS

In the front corners of the engine compartment, there is a 3 prong harness connector on each side heading into the headlight bucket area to feed the headlights. Unplug those and check for corrosion which will cut the voltage down at the lamps. Unplug & plug them back in a few times to clean the contacts or use contact cleaner if you have it. If the headlights are dim, this may fix it.

Here it is, goes off a bit after 9:57 in the video ....

Congrats on your purchase and the drive home! Very nice 240 you got at a great price. If its the center caps you are looking for, those shelby alloy wheels were a very common dealer sold item, I have never owned a set but a number of members here have them and should be able to point you in the right direction.

+11 Looks great.

Fuel pressure or ignition. Maybe have Cody give the ignition module a shot of canned cold air when the problem occurs, then see if the motor runs normally again. Maybe a fuel pressure test to rule that out. I would assume you have already verified the float level. Best of luck.

Trevor will remember that Christmas for a while .... Very cool!

Thanks Cliff, will take a picture tomorrow when its light. Mine works but one of the two copper spade connectors that tells the compressor to shut off is broken. The switch screws into the side of the air dryer.

The combo & turn signal switch would be good to get, badges if in decent condition, also ash tray. If its an AC car and has the original air dryer with a intact, unbroken switch on it, I'll take it, cost plus shipping.

This is an interesting read that may prove helpful to you. In addition, a through cleaning of all electrical connections in the engine bay will pay dividends. Good luck, I like the color ....

This is vintage rubber's equivalent of the seal. It's actually a 280 seal, I do not think the factory installed them on the 240z. However, many 240's have since been fitted with them. OEM is NLA as far as I know.

PM sent for purchase ...

I like his color choice for the wagon! What's he drinking in that sharp mug?

Going for Cars and Coffee tomorrow at Zup's house. Based on tomorrows weather forecast in Bentonville, 18 is the high, it will be Cars and Ice Coffee.

I would suspect the sender in the tank or its connection. At least the sender is still available and easy to change.

Wow. Should be back to normal & solid when you get the welding completed. I wonder what caused that floor mount to crack.

Your thread made me think back to Hardway's excellent seat restoration thread. He discovered one of the seat backs had actually cracked the metal and had to weld it to restore its rigidity. Might be the same issue.

Ray, post 2 4 & 9 have the contact information for purchase.

I agree. Less than half the cost of getting a dash restored.

I love stories with happy endings near Christmas ...

You''re of course right Zed, sorry for the confusion.
