If you're patient you can find some really nice used ones on ebay. Just make sure to ask the seller if the switch is nice and loose. I ordered one on ebay that the switch was sticky and it turned out to be a bent spring on the interior. I think I paid ten dollars for my second one and the white plastic exterior wasn't yellowed, the chrome trim was nice, and the action of the switch was perfect. If you want a brand new one, I think they run around $38.

I think it's an ignition amplifier.

Thanks for the great shots and angles. There were a lot of beautiful cars that I'd never seen before.

I found this while wasting some time on ebay motors. It is a kit car that kind of resembles a Z's lines. Certainly is unique. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-Jamaican-Sportscar-Great-Cond-RARE-early-Z-look_W0QQitemZ230037039956QQihZ013QQcategoryZ7251QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

why did she try to hit you?

The pics look great in your gallery. Thanks for documenting this for us. I think once I get a garage I will probably try the same.

Nice find! I wonder what the sunroof is like from the inside? Have fun

Very nice, that must feel great.

I think mine came out of a 72? I think a 72 or 73 would work...not sure about the 260 on?

No, I don't think it has. The moustache bar and crosslink where the arms attach are both curved towards the rear about an 1-1.5 inch. You could do it if you had those two pieces and a longer driveshaft.

They look great. Your Z looks like such a beast.

That is really funny. That is really sad. I think that lady is headed for a nervous breakdown.

Definately a chip of the ol' block, Will!

Maybe since he's in England they had the 260 for more than one year?

I think it says frenZee

Zach, I disconnected the wires when I removed the ballist resistor completely since the new coils have an internal resistor. I took the two wires that were connected to the resistor and put them together on a male/male spade connector. In the end, they are connected...just not touching. I remember reading about how my tach might or might not work when I was researching this upgrade a couple years ago. I always read conflicting reports of one guys working and the next guys not. One had to upgrade to a 280 tach while the others left their 240 in place. I didn't know if mine was going to work until it did from what I had read.My wife is out of town with my camera, so I can't take a pic at the moment. It has been a couple of years, but I'm pretty sure I followed the directions in the pic I posted. If it's not running by Thursday morning-ish and you want me to send you some detailed pics of how I wired everything, I would be more than happy to do so. Good luck, jonathan

I didn't realize he had the MSD setup. However, atleast with my setup, the tach works fine following the diagram I posted. Hopefully, he can see what the connections are labeled as...which was my intention in the first place. As far as your car firing but not starting, I had the same problem when I did this upgrade and it turned out that I had the two wires for the removed ballister resistor tied together. I put them, not touching, onto a male/male spade connector and the car fired right up. A shot in the dark, but that's what stumped me.

Just a supplement to what jfairladyz posted. I took this off this site: http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/engine.html

what do your spark plugs look like? Are they really black, tan, or white? Have you adjusted the fuel mixture on the underside of the carb?
