Weren't those other two somehow connected to the crank sensor on the later ZXs?

Missing Parts
Edit: Welp no upload for me. I'll try later. That's what I think too. My cars are all jammed up in the garage presently but here's a couple of pics that show those same holes but the point towards the front lip.

You have seen the atlanticz write up haven't you? I'm sure you have but I can't remember reading that. I've had two ZX dizzys with ball bearings stuck to the magnetic part. I would make sure those were in place and their plastic holder looked good. I have know idea how many there's supposed to be. For some reason I think I've read 8 in each half?

Missing Parts
They look like the inner fenders under those scoop looking things I removed to put on my front air dam. In front of the tire I believe?

Don't let me down!- Funny what you find in your back yard!
That's his "signature" Mr Purcell. I assume it's his car? but nothing to do with yours I'm guessing. I had to look at his profile myself, I was also confused.- Parts for Sale: I'm old; Time to sell 240 STUFF
@Zaspen- remove door card chrome strip
We're gonna need to see some pictures of that beauty. It sounds nice and well taken care of. Cliff- remove door card chrome strip
A hair dryer or heat gun on lowest setting would work and much easier than a heat lamp in my opinion. I have not done this though and respectfully will be keeping up as mine will eventually need new ones too.- Vapor Tank Vent Hose Routing
This one has the most photos. I used it for my '72 so I'd think you will see something. The good pics are towards the end of the thread. Good luck.- Plugging Air Rail holes in exhaust manifold
Me too! Love the sound. Bada boom.- Hitachi 280ZX Distributors
Zed Head you type faster than Wanda Wiggins. I bought a ZX E12-80 distributor from amazon.com for $100. I had to buy a cap and button. It looked like a brand new one and has performed flawlessly since 2015. I am very happy with it. I remember reading a couple of years ago that someone bought one from amazon too and had problems with it. Turned out to be the ignition module was bad. If you have yours rebuilt you should make sure the rebuilder can get a new module. I'm pretty sure they're NLA now so there's that to consider. I put "1979 280ZX" in the search criteria and the body was stamped with the corresponding numbers for a '79 which is the best one according to the Excel spreadsheet Walter Moore made for the different distributors.

According to this your '75 is different than my '77. Yours should have a screwdriver adjustment not a nut like mine. @Captain Obvious has a good post about 60% down the first page. Let me try the new way to get there...- L28 full rebuild assembly
No pintle cap. I didn't modify them at all, just slid them in. I think they had a wider spray than the OEs did but that's been many beers ago when I researched and decided to buy them. I'm not sure they still sale the 707"T"s. Never knew what that T stood for either.- L28 full rebuild assembly

My first Z was a '76 and I really liked that car. It was quick and looked even quicker. Glad you found and bought your dream car. You'll find a lot of help here. We'll need pictures ASAP!- L28 full rebuild assembly
If I remember right a set of the Standard FJ707T was as cheap as having mine sent off and cleaned. That was a pain in the rectum trying to get info on injectors in 2011 when I built the 2.8 motor. You'll see Bigfoot before you get straight, consistent data. Those FJ3s on ebay were a popular choice back then. Fastwoman had them and liked them too. She was quite picky, OCD-ish, I miss her participation on here.- '75 280z #6 cylinder acting weird
I rerouted my early '77 to the better pcv route. Here's the thread. Thanks again Captain.- Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build
