Man the more and more I see this front bumper the more I want it. It really compliments the car while bringing it to a more modern look.

Do you think because the AC was a dealer installed option that that is the reason the FSM doesn't have the info on it?

very, very cool man. i like that install more so than on the fender.

http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html here is the e12-80 dizzy swap info. Hope this helps out some, seems pretty straight forward, I am trying to find a e12-80 dizzy right now as well.

Planning/purchasing future mods for the 240z and I have been reading about the 280zx distributor swap. Anywho, the main question I have is can you use a e12-80 ignition module on a distributor that came with the e12-93 ignition module. I have found a e12-80 ignition module and found an 82 distributor, assuming it is a NA distributor, could I just switch the modules over?

little update but no pics right now. got the remainder of the interior out (dog legs, rear quarter plastics, vinyl floor stuff around center console, etc) and pulling/covering everything else so i can pressure wash the inside of it clean (has typical grease and gunk everywhere on the inside) and spray jams (decided to keep the car white and just touch up where they didn't paint the first time) and engine bay as well. going to por 15 the interior and maybe some of the chassis as well.

Got some free time to work on the Z the last 2 weekends. Last weekend I didn't do much, just removed the seats and looked around at the car (getting an idea of things I need to start purchasing). Floor pans are in surprisingly good shape, probably going to be stripping it down to bare metal to make sure there is no rust, but right now it looks like I have a pretty decent chance of it being very LOW rust. Today I got to do a lot more. I took out the car's original dash ,it was busted up from sun damage and PO's doing hack wiring jobs. the car came with another dash, which I think may be the exact same dash as the original one. Let me know if they are different as I will be trying to figure out a new way to do the wiring if so. This was what was behind the heater controls, a pretty big mess if I have ever seen one. Dash out. Old dash, I can see why the car was not running. There were wires going everywhere, things spliced together in 2-3 different places with random switches and stuff thrown all through out entire dash wiring. New dash, all the wires are still in what looks to be their factory places with the coating still around them. I think that these are the same time period dashes due to the similarities. It doesn't have the little cut out by the switch. Any chances that my original dash and the dash i bought with the car are the same?? Tomorrow I am stripping the rest of the plastics out and getting ready to pressure wash the inside to check the floorboards again for strength. I think they look great but the things that could reside under the dirt and grim are things I need to fix now. This is my first build on a car. I have been dreaming about doing something like this for a long time. I really plan on it being a daily driver (I know, but I believe if you buy a car then what is the point of not enjoying it everyday) with AC for sure and fuel injection later on down the line. Luckily i have a pretty solid DD right now (1996 ford taurus ha ha) so transportation should be ok until i can get the Z running and road worthy.
