  1. Do you still have it? I bought a 78 last weekend...
  2. These pictures were taken from underneath the passenger side dash (right behind the glove box). Also right above the fuse box, on the passenger side wall (right in front of the close of the door). Hope this helps narrow it down. I had a friend posting for me as we were working on the car together this afternoon. We have quit for the day, and I may not be able to start back on troubleshooting until next weekend. I teach and coach, and it is the last week of football season. Sorry for the "not enough information post". Also remember, I am no mechanic.....so my descriptions may seem incomplete at times. Thanks again for your input! I will get it solved eventually.
  3. Thanks, 1978 Datsun 280z, built in Nov. '77
  4. ok, i checked all the fuses as well as battery connections etc... The only things that seem odd to me are these two pictures. In the first one, on the transistor ignition unit, what plugs into the solo terminal? Also, in the second picture, same area, what do these two wires plug into??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

    As a rookie Z owner/project starter...today I purchased a new battery, brought it home, put it in, and there is no power in the car when the key is turned. We are currently trying to troubleshoot it.....but any help would be much appreciated. I have no intentions of trying to start the car today, just wanted to see if there were any electrical "issues" and there may be.
  6. Thanks for the welcome and the input. I had already planned to do the above mentioned things prior to the initial crank. I want to go the safe/smart route over the anxious want to hear it running fast route. I have had a 77 and 78 in the past when I was 15-17 yrs old. Was young and dumb. I want this to be my pride and joy for years to come.

    Traveled 2 hours this morning to save one from rusting away in a guy's yard. It is a 78 4 speed, baby blue...and I was told it only has 60,500 miles. Based on the condition of the hinges and hatch struts...I like to believe it. I am the 4th owner. The car has been sitting around 2 years wasting away but luckily I found it. Look forward to a long fun restoration. Pictures will be up soon.
