ok so some background. PO installed a things prior to me purchasing. namely a SBC with msd6ala and the push button starter. ok so my dilemma is the following. I have gotten the light s to work except the turnsignals. The hazards work and so does the turn signal realy as well as the hazard relay. fuel gauge does not work either. i realize that they get their power via the ignition relay. if i am wrong please correct me. on the fuse block i get no power to the ignition fuse. Once again i think i traced the wiring via the FSM and i believe it comes from the ignition relay. PO snipped some wires which i have been finding randomly tucked behind other wores or tucked behind tape. I'm also assuming he has bypas the ignition realy as the key is no longer used to start. (MSD) perhaps? So do i need to send ignition power to the fuse block? Behind the ignition housing there is a black with white stripe wire.I reconnected that according to FSM and still no turn signals. I hope i made sense and if i haven't....sorry. 78-280z what do you think my next course of action should be? btw-i have labeled all the harness connectors just in case you want to explain it that way. or if anyone needs pics just let me know.

does a clsd need to sense torque in order to engage? Was junkyard strolling and found a 85 turbo 300. I jack up the rear and the diff spun as if it was open. I thought the turbo's came with a CLSD?

hey man welcome! from one service guy to another...stay safe so when you get home you can work on the car. God speed brother!

Welcome-i'm also new to this forum and let me tell you i have spent hours reading as much as i can.

most of my issues are turn signal and suspension. the swap is fine and fun.

does anybody know a good z mechanic in central jersey?

good luck.my z went from 5800 to me taking it home for 4500. the economy is helping us find cars cheaper than i think htey would normally go for.

the fact that you are going to be hooking up your daughter is awesome.

Hey everyone, allow myself to introduce...myself. Yes, i am the proud owner of a 78 280z. it has a v8 swap already and all the usual issues IE:rust,wheel fitment,lack of lights. looking forward to reading topics and learning.
