    I will give that a try. I rebuilt all four calipers last summer at the same time. This one thought I did not do a good job and decided to leak. I will let you know how the MC goes. Thanks

    1970 240Z Front brakes are good no air in the system (toyota 4piston). Back: Nissan Maxima disk. Had to rebuild driver side rear due to leak. Went to bleed get no pressure to both rear calipers and not much flow. When cracking the rear bleeder, the brake pedel does not go to the floor it stays the same. When Bleeding the front it does go to the floor. Got some people helping me out and this is what we think might be going on. 1. porportioning valve locked out the rear when it was leeking. I have opened the electrical part on the top to get a look at the valve. Not sure what way it should be, at this point the small diameter part is at the firewall and the larger is just in view at the front. 2. Front part of the master cyl not working (1980 280zx master) on the 280zx it is opposite the original 1970 master cyl. So the front feeds the rear brakes. Tryed to bleed the front to push the valve back in place. Did't work. Could have hydralic lock working against the rear keeping the fluid locked out of the rear. I don't have the diagram of the distribution valve to see how the lock out part works. All my books in storage. At this point I only have front brakes. Anybody run into this before? Need some help/suggestions.
  5. I had my stock 14" shelby 500 rims on and the brakes are fine
  6. I just converted my 1970 240. Toyota 4x4, 4piston calipers on the front bolt right up and the brake lines needs no mods. Rear 1986 maxima calipers with ebrake. I bought the motor sport auto set up. Was on mid ohio race track full speed (as fast as a 240 could go) great set up! got photos if you want.
  7. I have a 1970 240 and replacing the 4 speed with a 1982 5 speed. I picked up the trans and engine for $200. I want to rebuild the trans before I put it in. It was a non turbo engine and the # on the trans is 7328141. What trans is this? Were can I get a manual to rebuild it and a rebuild kit?

    Thanks. I bought the Autometer guage from MSA and it works but I cannot use it. It reads full when full but after 54miles its on half tank. 85 miles its on .5. At 200miles it's on E. MSA said it would work and I guess it does but it's not usefull. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Does anyone know what ohms the fuel sending unit is at full and empty? Installing ultra light guage 0-90 ohms. 1970 240z Any help would be great.
  10. http://www.colorwiringdiagrams.com/ Best $20 I've spent in a long time. Color and large! You have two wires that give power to your lights at the headlight plug one for each side. Red wire for the right side and a red/yellow on the left, these are the B+ wires. The other two are for high and low beam (red/Blk) & (red/wht). The switch at the collum is a grounding switch. With your key to the Acc and the light switch on you should have power to the light B+ wires. There are lots of people on this sight that are good I just thought I would give you a foundation to start on.
  11. I have installed all new ultra light autometer guages and need to use the senders from the new guages. Im having a hard time with the thread sizes in the block and at the temp thermo location. Water temp looks like a pipe thread. I have the conversion adapters from Autometer but they are not the correct thread size. Has anyone used these guages and if so how did you get the senders to work? I could tap to make them fit but that is the last thing I want to do.

    Make sure the light bulbs are good and the sockets clean. I had some of the same and it was the sockets/bulbs
  13. With the running lights on all side lights are on and the top set of lights in the back and the front turn lights. Hazard lights: front blinkers and all three lights in the back but not the reverse. Turn: front and all three on the side that is blinking in the back. Check and make sure all you light bulbs and sockets are clean/good. I wired my 1970 and the color wireing diagram from Prospero's Garage saved me! check it out wwwslash5.com best $20 I've spent.
