Check with zman@zspecialties.com. He has a huge stockload of parts and is very easy to deal with. I may have a slave assembly laying around. I'll check and see if I have the spring still on it. Nope, sorry. I don't have a spring on it. It's NOS and has everything else but no spring.

I've driven classic Ferraris and Maseratis back when I was in Italy in the mid 60's. Beautiful, but intricate machinery. Had a friend who would buy up good used cars over there. We would ferry the cars up to Naples and ship them to the states. Had some great drives over the mountains and some very scary instance during those same trips. Italians were and are famous for their sense of competition and when one in his Fiat cinquacento (500cc) would start to pass another, there was very little that would get him to get back in the right lane until he accomplshed his goal.; and coming around a curve on a mountain road to find that going on put an awful lot of strain on your lights and brakes. Not to mention the donkey carts with a kerosene lantern hanging off the back.

Everything you've described makes me think you may have a car which has the fusible links blown. Try a heavy guage (6-8) cable from your alternator to the battery. If everything looks like it's working, I'd think you've found that the FL's are bad. If not, look for any wiring that seems to have been changed or modified. Welcome back to the wonderful world of Classic Z's. :knockedou

Looks like they're making them. Notice it says longer ones like the 280Z, not a direct copy of the 240/60 rails.

Try the somewhat expensive ($50.00) Monster FM transmitter sold at Radio Shack. Has a choice of 8 presets, so you should be able to find a frequency without interference. The only other thing you have to worry about is interference from your own car's ignition system. :cheeky:

I have a Kenwood KRC-2007 cassette receiver ready to install as soon as the paint and engine swap are complete. It is a dual shaft receiver with many very modern features, including 30 station presets, digtital readout and clock, pre-out with fader control. I can put up with no CD built in because I don't want to do any modification to the daqsh area and it's easy to get a small transmitter to broadcast into the FM receiver from a digital music player. I've got one that will play about 30 hours.

At least it's been inside in cold snowy Hokkaido. One of my more memorable winters.

I believe I have a set of head studs coming from them as I write this. Easy to deal with and good name brand stuff.

I think this is about the best 1940 image I can find. Hope you recognize it.

You have it right.

I bought the other set first thing this morning. Thanks for the tip.

"That's why I hope to get one used but decent instead." Brandy, I may have one on my Z. I've got a Pertronix now and have had the resistor bypassed ever since. Works like a charm. I'll take a look this weekend if it warms up a little. Right now, it's showing 18 degrees at 1:22 in the afternoon. :beard:
