Ok I think I found it behind the radiator. I have both the Chilton manual and the service manuals that I found online. Thing is I just don't know where to began. It is most likely an electric problem I've been told, the spark plugs were checked and are good. One thing that's weird is how the battery will slowly drain if hooked up even when nothings running. Thanks for the help Whats actually most confusing right now is how to properly hook up the coil. What happened was we didn't really look at how it was in the first place before we replaced it. The electrical diagram in the book has these color coded wires which I don't have, only black. Also, since the distributor was smoking, does that mean I will have to replace it? I'll have to get another coil for sure but I want to hook it up properly this time.

I don't see a resistor but I'm not sure what ignition it has. The carburators are round top. Parts moving on the engine were just from pushing down the pedal.

There is a 240z sitting in my garage and I need some advice on how to get it running. It was bought years ago and ran but in poor condition. The guys who sold it had put a 260z's engine into it. A couple months ago we added gasoline, gave it a new battery and a new ignition coil. I remember at one point after that I got it to roll forward when the key turned. Now it just spins the fan, things on the engine move a bit. I'll probably have to replace the coil again. Distributor and coil were smoking so I left the car alone for a while. Any advice that could be given from that description would be very helpful. Ask me any questions about the car.
