Maximus I live in Chattanooga near Cleveland are any of these still for sale?

problem solved bad combo of wires vs wrong fire order

Unfortunately I do not have the old afm anymore. I moved and it was misplaced.

I have been wondering I drive a 1977 280z and my car was on the highway one night after work and I started having popping sounds coming from my afm since then I have replaced my afm. The question I am having however is that when I installed the new to me used afm on my car I started having a really bad rich mixture causing my car to be flooded with gasoline and backfire of course out of my exhuast has anyone had this sort of problem before? I have replaced the all sensors except thermotime and engine temp sensor. All new pigtails and the tank has been cleaned all new spark plugs the timing is perfect. These problems just started apearing after the old afm failed and I installed the used one. Before the afm failed the car never had a problem with a rich mixture.

Thanks fastcarz I finally got my bearings to go correctly ended up being a problem with my race and overtighting.

Thanks Darom bought a can of carb cleaner today and will be doing a vacuum test that way. On another note I seem to be having a problem with my front wheel bearings I have replaced them twice now and for some reason or another they keep chirping then the bearing eventually is no good. This is the second time I have replaced the bearing in a week. I am torquing the spindle nut to 25lbs of torque according to my fsm. Has anyone else had problems such as this before? I have been over to atlantic z and looked at the tutorial for changing them over there.

I have a 1977 280z, I have just finished doing body work and paint on the car and that will be in a later post. I am currently however having problems with a backfire out my tailpipe and what seems to be a vacuum leak. I have installed new injectors new plug wires distributor the list goes on and on. The car will be undergoing a engine transplant in the fall but I would like to be able to drive the car until then. I have posted a small 1 minute video of what the car is doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r2lZWDaTCs

I am having a the same trouble morbias, Have you had any luck on figuring out what is going on. Half the time my high beams will work and then last night I was on the highway going home and they randomly shut off on me I had to drive the rest of the way back with only hazard lights. Low beams have never worked on my car.

As the title says I need a Fuel sending unit from a 1977 280z. This is not a fuel pump!! I recently bought a fuel sending unit from the z store but they only sell one for the 1970-74 model and I am unable to wire it up for some reason it keeps reading always full or empty. So looking for a fuel sending unit for a 280z or if anyone has wired one of these up and can tell me how to do it.

The battery is less than a week old and now my lights and brake lights are not working. just replaced fuses and they seem fine.

I have a 1977 280z, I have replaced the alternator, and voltage regulator but for some reason my battery keeps dieing? I have gone through 2 voltage regulators at auto zone now and they are both reading my alternator is good but my regulator is bad. The guy there said that is impossible that we gave you two voltage regulators one after the other that were bad. Has anyone had this battery draining problem before? Yes the battery is a good battery, its already been tested. I have checked all grounds and they seem fine as well.

Nice to see someone else from TN, I am located in chattanooga. Car looks great. Does the upull it near you have any more fenders by any chance? None around here are worth a darn. I have a hood thats missing one plastic louver if you cant find a decent one.

I pulled the tank tonight. And everyone was correct I have never seen so much rust come from a tank before. Tomorrow I will be taking it to a local radiator shop to have it boiled out. If all goes well Ill have it back in my hands saturday.

Okay Just got home and took a short video of the car on a drive tell me what you all think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AWAjML96-Y

I have a 1977 280z. The problem I am having is, I will drive the car down the road and the engine will suddenly idle out. The car will not crank back over, but if I let it sit for 5 mins the engine fires back up and I am able to drive it back to my place. So essentially I thought I was having a fuel starvation issue. I have therefore replaced the fuel pump which was giving me 68 psi worth of fuel to my fuel rail. I have replaced 2 filters and the fuel regulator. I am now getting around 38psi worth of fuel to my rails. However I am still having the problem of the car suddenly idleing out and unable to start unless I let it sit for 5 or so minutes. Other then the Fuel pump, Fuel Filters, Fuel Regulator. I have also replaced the distributor, Thermostat, Starter, Ignition Coil. When I take it out later this evening Ill try to get a short video of what the car is doing. And post it here.

I have a 1977 280z 2.8l Non turbo I just replaced the female injector plug ends. After replacing the plugs the car ran fine shifted through 1st to 4th no loss of power at all. Now 2 days later I am having a loss of power and its bogging down. Any advice?

Little Update got everything out of the car for the most part. This is what the car looked like before.

I have always wanted a z car. This year I finally found one at decent price and the price would be free lol. Here is a tear down on the z so far. Planning on a rb25det to be put in. The tear down has begun. The pictures are on flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/12773290@N08/ If anyone is looking for original z seats in great condition let me know I might be getting rid of mine.
