The cap should be identical to your original that was removed IMO.

Have had great result with Amsoil 75-90 for the diff. Just a pain to get it easily.

@SteveJI think you mentioned in an earlier post of a new flasher that’s available that a few folks have tried weather they are using standard bulbs or LED.

75 280Z - Starter Motor intermittently clicks when restarting after car has been driven for several miles/in town driving
I’ve had a couple of the Remy starters that had issues right out of the box. Went to the gear reduction and like it a lot.

Wonder where my memory was thinking 3 wires on the driver side. Falling apart I guess😂😂

I need to ask my friends on the forum about my reply of a two or three wire. What does the FSM show? My manual unfortunately is at the shop.

The driver side door switch has a three wire connection. Passenger has two. Could be the switch in the door bulk head, or possible connection issue. @SteveJ might have a suggestion

What are the specifications on the model you have. Ohm rating is critical

@patcon, you’re thinking the drive gear in the trans might have an issue?

1978 280z Speedo Troubleshooting
It’s a drive gear via the cable. No electrical involved. Reach your hand up there and disconnect it. The cable is slotted where it goes into the back of the housing. You may not have it seated properly.

1978 280Z - Won't restart when hot, all interior gauges, fan motor, backlighting not working
Hey Cliff there’s a red tag on the thermotime/temp sub harness. I believe it signifies between the two sensors so you don’t get them backwards. My harness is out and not going to be used any longer so I can’t reference it on the car. Any clues from the Librarian?

With that reading you have you probably have a lot of dirty connections. You will probably find plenty of green corrosion. Corrosion is impedance and that will throw your readings way off causing the system to go crazy🤦♂️🤦♂️

Please read the specifications for the system and get another coil. We are trying to help. The coil is the heart of the system for spark. Do some research and you’ll begin to understand the theory of operation.

1973 Rebuild
If it was an automatic at one time there is a trans kick down bracket above the gas pedal and you will not have a bump stop on the firewall where the clutch pedal depresses. My 78 conversion proved this and there is extra wiring in trans tunnel.

Do yourself a favor and look at the spec requirements from pertronics and get yourself a new coil. Just my oppinion.

While you’re at it pull the afm off the bracket. Very easy to do and clean the contacts on the afm. Cut down some finger nail files they work well. These systems are an electrical corrosion nightmare.
