yes there are like 5 regular generic switches that were in the center console where the cig ashtray went

the tube go to the front of the engine bay and just end like they are venting there and the 2 wires go into the wiring harness

ok I need to lay off the painkillers or start reading better , if your is a 78 280 the part number for bv is 54-234and from msa is 16-7646, it calls it a thermo-control units119 through bv and 72 through msa

i think I found it in the motorsport catalog page 97 also there is a great blow up on bv on page 69 , what year is the car ?

that is the heater unit , it could be either hose the short one is the inlet from the side of the block and the other long one goes the either the waterline spliter if you have water in your manifold or directly to the waterneck above the alternator

i was thinking of like you said running a line maybe down to the bottom of the engine bay to take the fumes out of the area to disperse

another pic of the 2 mysterious switches

hey , I have a bunch of loose wires and toggle switches that run from inside the car in the center console area to these relays or what ever they are , never seen them on other peoples z cars are they something the po just did you are they supposed to be there but not the toggle switches, trying to clean out his wonderful way of fixing things , thanks in advance for the help , these are on the fender engine bay passenger side under the batter area and inspection lids

another

maybe better pic

its has the 3 hoses up to that go to the from of the motor but attach to nothing , I am gonna double check that now but it has 2 wires attached to the bottom of it

hhm what if you don't have it hooked up to the air cleaner I have k&n filters what do you do with it then?

is this supposed to be hooked up to anything other than the small line from my block breather that goes to my manifold, can I remove this as well?

this apprears to go nowhere and never seen this on any of my other 240zs , and I am not required to pass smog, does anyone what it is and what does it do and can I remove without any adverse results, it located on the passenger side of my 72 240 on the fender it apprears to be a vapor tank of some sort, thanks Jeff

Ok I got my z driving and running well today , i heard a buzzing warning sound when I am driving in gear and when the car goes into reverse? never had this on my other 72 or it might have been removed, any info on what it is and how to remove it thanks Jeff:geek:

they have a video from ztherapy , which shows all of the bushing being replaced on the car , kinda a piece by piece video, maybe a good ideal, i know when i drop my suspension that gonna be a must , I saw the preview on their tune up video , good luck Jeff:geek:

Orlando area here , I have a friend I will ask if he know someone in the Tampa area , he might know someone personally, unles its the carbs I just hate to take it to anyone , I find with z cars they seem to do more damage than fixing Jeff:geek:

I am sure its possible but you would reduce the arm room in that area , I think is their reasoning ust like what they do on the corvettes and other mininal room cars , I am 6-3 and think i would be too cramped if there was say 3-4 inches added to the center console in height, good luck

I had the same luck with the clamp on kind , does anyone know where to purchase the weld on kind,looking for the style with holes in them , I have searched for months I can buy the whole pedal set attached but its for like a rail buggy , any help would be great

if I hadn't already spent a bunch of time and money on mine I would be bidding on this one , thought you guys might want to check it out , kinda hard to find , Jeff:geek: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33695&item=2447318612

well I tried to post it and it didn't show up , how weird either way the instruction are about useless, but it does show how to rebuilt the booster if you would like that , and it has a nice breakdown of what all the parts go to and so forth, let me know Jeff

lets try thispage one I doubt the instruction will help at all but it has a blow up of the unit and how to rebuild it

honestly for the money I would do both master and slave why you are in there , we replaced the mc on my 240 and brothers 260 and shortly after the sc went bad , almost to spite us , good luck Jeff:geek:

by chance where are you in fla? I know a couple in the central florida area , zotz in winter park is very good with carbs webbers and su's and webs z world on central , I also know another mechanic that specializes in there but not sure what show he is at right now , good luck Jeff:geek:

after reading that thread I answered my own question , now I wonder if who I buy the cam through would have the appropiate thickness lash pads if I told them that I was using 280 valves in an e31 head? would be to good to be true I bet
