Thanks for that. That diagram is hard as hell to follow though. We were looking at an original print FSM when working on the car. I like the diagram in the chilton book way better though. (didnt have it at the time) Its alot easier to follow for practical diagnostics.

There's gremlins in there I swear. Anyway, I've been helping old boy here with all things Z related lately, and did some electrical trouble shooting on the '71 yesterday. First, the starter works, jumped the signal wire on the solenoid and everything turned over fine. The ignition switch is operating correctly as well, verified by a brand new switch swapped in for this exact purpose. We installed a known working fuse box as well. The problem seems to be in the start circuit, between the switch and the starter motor. The coil has power in the ignition switch "on" position. Anyone know for sure if there is a start relay somewhere in this circuit. What I really need is a better wiring diagram to diagnose this properly.

Haha, that was a good read, I do think this car might be a keeper though. Hope we get it running soon.
