Hey if you needed one of those little knubs, I’ve made one out of a ball of super glue, it worked great ha. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hey, looking for the little switch that sits behind the turn signal for the high low beams. I need it for a early 260z, but it should be compatible with a 280/240. Regards, Rama

I used JB weld to get the plastic back onto the window, then just grease it to reassemble. Make sure the regulator is all straight before you install it or it’s never gonna fit. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I ended up just doing this, there are lots of little Philips bolts on flat tops that can be salvaged, as well as the screws for the choke lever. Someone local was throwing them away, worked out for my needs!

You'll have to tap in the old harness into the hardware that talks to the gauge. So things things like the voltmeter/tach/speedo (gearbox driven)/Fuel/oilpressure should remain unchanged. For the stuff that talks to the ECU, if the wiring allows you, you can jump in the corresponding connectors for the AFM / injectors / etc. Edit* you might find what you're looking for by searching over on hybridz.org, they have loads of people that like to do these swaps, and might have good insight to the issue. here's links to get you started: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/113801-81-l28et-swap-into-73-240z-wiring-help/ http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/122072-l28et-swap-wiring-confusion/ http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/67309-l28et-swap-wiring-answer/

Emailed regarding the carpets

oh wow, thanks siteunseen! I actually grabbed some flat top's yesterday for free from craigslist. I was after the balance screws after one of mine apparently rattled off the car ? I had to pull one off my 3 screw, but I needed that for another car. That and the Dome Screws, hopefully they are interchangeable for the round tops, if they are at least they'll serve some purpose ?

You in So-Cal? or Northern Cali? Im in SF Bay, might be able to help you out.

My buddy Andy is a mechanic there, he was saying that they don’t tell parts to the public, they only sell parts to cars that they work on in the shop. Maybe that stance has changed, I’ll shoot over some time and ask.

Howdy, Anyone have a compatibility list or someone that sells carburetor hardware, (screws and springs and such) for round top Su Carbs? I contacted Ztherapy, but they dont sell hardware out by itself. Been kinda scouring around online, and I cant seem to find anything... Regards, Rama

Actually the top image is not mine, just the plug style that I really liked, I have a early 260 so the fuel sender is similar to the 240. I have plenty of spades around, I’ll give it a try with the alternator plug cover. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I think Banzai Motors has alternator covers that might fit, I think I have one sitting around at home, ill take a gander at that and see if it works. Hows the fit of the spade over it? does the tape do all the holding?

Fuel + Spark + Compression = Fun. For the spark, harbor freight sells this inline spark plug light, Should be pretty cheap, can throw it onto cylinder 1 to ensure that its firing. Fuel can be added into the float chambers, is it possible that the line is clogged? you can attach the line from the mechanical pump into a gas jug, to test if that section is working. Compression, would probably be best to use a leak down tester, and if not a compression tester. (but you can rule this out if it was running) TBH sounds like old fuel, Did you ever take anything apart?

I use what most of the people use up there, just wanted to add; Permatex Anti-Sieze. Dow-Corning Telescopic Grease for brake caliper // pad parts https://www.acrossinternational.com/Dow-Corning-53-Oz-Colorless-High-Vacuum-Sealing-Grease-Tube-DowGrease53oz.htm Started using the DCTG after spending time restoring Honda SOHC4 brake calipers. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,56544.50.html Gamma did some interesting research on the grease, and how it reacted to temperature in that thread. One tube lasts a long time.

Ah I just upgraded to a 5spd close ratio, I kinda liked my 4spd more, it just seemed like it was on-ramp happy, once on the freeway the 5spd is really nice for puttering around. Makes sense to wait, but... if you already have one thats just sitting around, slap it in

So, I follow a lot of Z guys in Japan on Instagram, check out these connectors for a fuel sender, I like the shape of the rubber cover. anyone seen anything like this? Mine are super stiff, and I cant get a good connection on the sender, seems to be finicky.

Good to hear Jeff, I was starting to get worried that they were so cheap, by chance the one I got was one that worked

seems like arrow faces forward.. I just replaced this on my car I should know, but I cant recall. all I remember is doing it twice because it did not line up haha.

Danny De-Vito taught me the same thing almost 15 years ago hahaha.

That exhaust looks really clean, is it the revision that came out recently? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Damn! this means that my car might not actually have 30k smiles interesting find.

I wonder why the oreilly one was not working; they have warranties I assume? Seems like it was shorting out.
