    I measured voltage with a multimeter, set to VDC, and I have 0 VDC when measuring from the positive lead to either green/white wire and negative lead to common ground. I have no idea if the headlight circuit was converted to relays, where would I look? yes, there are splices in the wiring, the rear panel was converted to some aftermarket light set-up when I bought the car. I do not have power coming into the splices, so I don't think the splices are my problem right now. I do plan on cleaning up all the wiring though. When I looked at the schematic diagram, it looks like the head and tail lights do share a circuit, as indicated by a GW wire going to both. Please help, I hope I gave adequate info, thanks

    OK, I do not have power on the green/white wires at the back panels. I also noticed that my front left headlight was out, it came on when I hit the hi-beams and stays on if I go back to lo-beams. If I turn the lights all the way off the front left headlight will not come back on unless I hit the hi-beams. One time when I was cycling the hi/lo-beams like his all my lights came on, even the rear park/driving lights and stayed on after I switched back to lo-beams. As soon as I turned the lights off and back on the rear lights never came back on and the front left headlight only comes on if you hit the hi-beams. I do have power on both sides of the fuses for both headlight fuses and taillight fuses when I turn the lights on. Any ideas? I assume the head and taillights tie in the wiring somewhere and all share a common ground.

    parking light circuit/running lights for the rear taillights only, everything else works

    it's a 1974 260Z, yes the front parking lights work, every light works except the rear tails

    every light on my Z works except the tail lights, any ideas headlights low and hi-beam turn signals hazards brake lights reverse lights instruments dome dash taillights will not come on at all

    I forgot to mention it has a 350 SBC V-8 and 5 speed manual with Edelbrock 650 Thunder carb, Weiand intake, Spectre filter Thrush glasspack and Turbo muffler. I also had a wideband gauge and O2 sensor installed. I got it tuned as good as I could, I do miss electronic fuel injection, calibration is a pain. I do manage to get about 16.5 mpg in the city, no idea what it gets on the highway, I am guessing around 19.5 Here are my air/fuel ratios +/- .1: idle - 13.1 (spot on) cruise - 13.9 (too rich) partial - 14.6 (too lean) WOT - 12.4 (spot on) The cruise and partial throttle are backwards, don't have the necessary jets right now to correct it,

    Well, my dad has always been a Datsun/Nissan lover, I guess I just followed in his footsteps. He's owned almost every Z. He had a 240Z, 280Z, 280ZX, 300ZX and a 350Z. I always liked his 280Z the best, he never had a 260, so I set out to find one. I bought it off a guy advertising it in Paris TX for $9,500. He agreed to meet me halfway in Sherman, and took $6,500 for it.

    I'd love to, active duty USAF Recruiter duty hours don't permit too much free time for things like this though
