What down time? I'll be at the convention.

The glove box light is wired to the instrument light circuit in the 260Z. (Ask the man/woman who ones one. ) No relays in the circuit. Maybe I can trace out the circuit next week when I'm in Memphis and far away from work. (Yes, I travel with a FSM. Don't you?)

Part numbers: Russell 639560 Speed Bleeder (front) Russell 639570 Speed Bleeder (rear) They are available via Amazon.

Click on the Georgia Z Club link in my signature, and it will take you to the Facebook page. If you can upload the pictures there, I can copy them over to here.

The later 280Z hoods had louvers.

If you have to, post them to the Georgia Z Club page on Facebook, and I'll repost them here.

That is especially true considering the electrical test equipment I travel with.

Just keep in mind that the more you mess with the cars, the more variables that Chet and I would have to sort out to diagnose what needs to be done.

He accidentally posted that in this thread. He meant it for a private conversation.

Carl Beck will be there, but I don't know if he'll acknowledge riff-raff like us.

I've never had any luck vacuum bleeding the brakes on either of my Z cars. If you don't have someone to help, here's one way you can do it: 1. Get a long tube. 2. Put one end in a jar of brake fluid. 3. Attach the other end to your bleed screw with a good run going up before the tube goes back down into the jar. 4. Make sure the reservoir is full. 5. Loosen the bleed screw. 6. Pump the brakes a few times. 7. Look for air bubbles in the tube. 8. Check the fluid level in the reservoir and top off as necessary. 9. Repeat steps 6-8 a few times. 10. Tighten the bleed screw. 11. See if you have a firm pedal. 12. If not, repeat steps 5-9.

It should fit a 260Z. It should be correct for a 75 280Z with a build date of 6/75 or earlier.

Okay, the FSM is online. See the link in my signature. Download the manual for a 72. Page BE-3 shows how the wires are grouped together and what colors go where.

What year 240Z? What's the build date of your car?

Maybe I've been around early Z cars too long. After the Georgia Z Club meeting tonight, a few of us were walking around the parking lot when we saw an S30 we weren't familiar with. One friend pointed out the 280Z hood. I said that it was a 240Z. I recognized the bumper mounts were from a 73.

Is that from the Canadian version of The Onion?

Jai, Just be patient for right now. I talked with Chet tonight. He's up for a field trip out to your place around the end of the month. I'll bring all my favorite diagnostic toys. I'm sure Chet has a few, too. You can use our opinions to help you with charting a good course to having a drivable Z.

Jai, I may be able to come over later this month. Who knows? Maybe I can get Chet to join me.

How could it be a convention without him? I was reading on the ZCOT FACEBOOK group that a group from ZCOT, including Mad Mike will be driving up 7/13.

To go with what Cliff said, how about adding arrival dates? Wendy & I will get there on Monday, 7/13.

In the 70 & 71, the headlight switch completed the path to ground from the High/Low switch on the other side.

I actually toyed with the idea of an intercooler buried under the ice, but I didn't want to spend too much time, energy and money on the project. As for the College World Series, the women's tennis team got the NCAA championship this year, and I think Vanderbilt is limited to a maximum of one championship per school year. Besides, lately, the baseball team doesn't rebuild. It reloads. They will have another chance soon enough.

It can double as a beer (or in my case, soda) cooler. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O0DE8K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085UZKIO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030BGA0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03 I'll add a circuit to power the fan. The fan will circulate air over the ice, and the air coming out will keep the driver from dying.
