Cool! Wow, thought for sure I was looking at a cover and not the real thing.

Just make sure your tach and speedo are up to par maintenance wise. Bulbs, etc. are good. Because once you install that dash cap you will NOT be able to remove the tach and speedo. I have tried several times to remove mine with no luck! And the cap won't fit without some finagling. Mine required heat to make it fit "better", not perfect by any means. To this day I wished I had just covered all the cracks with a dash mat instead of a cap. Was lazy and had an upholstery shop, that a friend recommended, do it and they put freakin' silicone all over the dash which is incorrect. But I didn't find this out until I made an attempt to remove it at a later date! Biggest mistake I've made with this Z besides the cowl induction hood, which is going away soon.

Good looking 240. Good luck with the auction.

She sure looks good Cliff! Nice car cover.

That would be great if you do. PM me if with a price if you have one. Thanks Charles, Bob.

View Advert looking for..... Does anyone have a known good working temp gauge for a 77 280 that they don't mind parting with? I'm in need of one. Trouble shooting my coolant system and it has lead me to what I believe to be a defective one. Looks like 77 and 78 will work, according to my microfiche Thanks Advertiser rcb280z Date 07/22/2019 Price Category Parts Wanted Year 1977 Model 280z

3rd pic in this post is missing fender bolts also.

That is a beautiful car! Have a safe and fun trip.

Me too

Thats what your vacuum canister does. It advances timing when needed. Mine maxes out at, approx., 35 degrees around 3000 rpms. Hook up a timing light and see what happens when you open the throttle from the idle position. You should see the timing mark start to advance. And that is assuming you have a functioning vacuum advance canister and / or advance plate. The only adjustment you'll make is your idle timing. Mine runs fine at 10 BTDC.

Idle is 10 BTDC Approx. 3000 rpm I get 35 degrees advance.

Looks great. Wish my engine bay looked half as good.

Happy Memorial Day and much thanks to all that served and continue to serve this beautiful country of ours! Thank You.

Same thing happening here so if you have it fixed share with us Cliff .

So glad to hear the kids are okay. Such a bummer Geoff. Sure hope it's repairable.

That's a good idea. Would be an easy one to make.

Looks like zcardepot sells it with an o-ring but autozone does not. So who knows. IIRC when I was tracing a leak at the switch I fixed it with a new o-ring. But that was about 9 years ago. So I could have installed one to stop a leak if what you say is correct Zed Head, no o-ring Looks like it's one of those "mysteries". I can't find anything that says yes or no on the o-ring.

There is an o-ring on it. Worth replacing, it could be the culprit. Remove the switch from the tranny and you'll see the o-ring. I keep an assortment of o-rings for stuff like this. Hopefully that'a all it is. If not I see zcardepot has the switch as another option to suppliers Zed Head gave you. Even autozone has them for less than $20 amazingly.

Welcome to the club Craig. What a great find! Looking forward to the awakening. Post pics as you go.

You're showing your age there Dave.

Press it Dave, press it.

Yep, I get it.

Guess I just want to see it work ?
