Good luck trying to contact those folks. A lot of horror stories on this forum related to Whitehead performance. They don’t answer the phone or emails.

Hey John, take your meter and check continuity from the spade to ground. Have no idea what that is but it looks like it’s possibly a ground connection.

That bellhousing looks like the one I just cleaned and refurbished!! What a Job!!

Pics please Cliff, I’m getting close to that stage on mine. Thanks….

So Cliff that’s your 25 cents worth😂😂

Just finished the auto to manual conversion on my 78. Drive shaft completely interchangeable. Changed diff R180 to R200 no difference in bolt patterns. Like @Zed Head mentioned flanges may be round or rectangular bolt pattern does not change. However,the ZX turbo T5 trans has a larger diameter yoke but the pinion flange remained the same.

Possibly soaking it in boiling water and see if that frees them up. Just a thought.

Those look Beautiful!!

Look straight down in the pic. You’ll see the bottom bolt next to the recoil spring and you can see the edge of the spring bracket held on by that bolt. Here’s a pic

John, your intake does not have 4 bolts where the throttle body mounts?

Theres a curved vacum port on the bottom of the throttle body

The canister and the vac advance are connected by a vacuum “T”. The bracket for the spring iirc mounts to the bottom bolt on the throttle body on the engine side.

That’s an aftermarket pump. Way less expensive but….again controversial.

Did you recently replace the factory pump with the aftermarket model. Controversial subject I know.

Can you start the car by jumping the starter solenoid and the key in the on position.

The video shows the shaft and pump assembly.

Anyone know where to source replacement 280Z tail lamp assemblies?

CarPartsManual.com is where you can can research just about anything pertaining to model year.

Has anyone tried the carbon fiber model that MSA is carrying?

Hey John, You already might know this but Skillard has the grill all in one piece.

Second that, Quality folks. Ask for Amy you will get an immediate response.

@dylancorrea1Your not starting the car during a compression test so don’t be concerned about creating any more damage. If you have questions on doing it properly please ask questions where we can help. Good luck and pass on your findings. A cold test should give you some idea.
