a few z questions

[pvtdavid]

i recently bought my first z its a 260 and the first time i seen it i fell in love with it its almost all factory. someone swaped a 280 5spd into it ans it has an ansa dual tip muffler. i have been reading around about the cars and have learned much thanks to this web site but i do have 2 questions

1 what is the white jug looking thing mounted on the right hand wheel well behinde the inspection light

2 will 240z door panels fit on the 260

1: Righthand side??? Maybe the windshield washer reservoir and pump, although it's on the opposite side on the 280Z (with which I'm familiar).

2: Yes.

The white jug looking thing could likely be the vacuum reservoir for factory a/c....

Not to disagree with FastWoman, but I've read here and elsewhere that the 240 doors are not the same as 260 doors. You'll need to explore that a bit more in my opinion.

Awesome, then you have factory A/C. Cool..... no pun intended.

Yeah, Frank, I'm not sure 240Z door panels fit either. 75-76 280z will though.

yeah it does have factory ac and that explains why my dad didnt know what it was either and yall are both right the 240 wont fit but the 280 will

Hmmmm.... Well, maybe no, then...

The style might be different, but I thought all S30 doors were essentially the same. Might be wrong about that.

It's NOT for factory AC. It's a vaccum resevoir for the heater controls. it hold vaccum whether you have low or high vaccum due to RPM's. so the heater controls always have a constant vaccum to work with.

Doors. Depends on the build date of the 260Z. I don't know where the cut off is on this, but I have a set of 70' 240Z doors on my early 260Z. the later 260Z's have? the stud on the frame that the door latch catches, as compared to the hook style from 69' to mid 74'

The design of the door is basically the same but the latches change, as do the window regulators and internal reinforcements.
