[Odd oil pressure problem (!)]

This is just a WAG but what about the gasket that goes between the sump and block! If I remeber right it wasnt included in my engine gasket kit and I had to make one! Maybe it is sucking air into the filter????? but wouldnt think you would have pressure unless its air pressure????

Ok I havw the unisinc, Where do I get the weber flow meter???

[Stalls out when throttle is opened]

according to his profile it is a 77, so check you throttle position sensor for water corrosion or plug not tight!

[Voltage Regulator]

yes the VR for the 77 is behind and underneath the metal frame that the fusable links attach to, also check your fuse in the fuse box and also your fusable links, all 4 they will cause some stupid problems, if they are not tight and have a good connection! And ditto on the ZX internal alt coversion, done 2 and well pleased!

[280z projector headlights]

I agree, do the H4 but also do the headlight harness with relay conversion, will have 2 of them done hopefully by the weekend and cantell you more!!

[280z projector headlights]

DO NOT BUY THEM!!! they are junk , yes I have a set installed and they are coming out very soon for the BD ones I bought, and by the way they are NOT projector, just h4!!

[engine cutting out]

check your fuseable links first!!! My 77 did same thing, hard excel was the worse! a loose or bad connection will cause this or burnt link! look for melted block thats the first indicator, then try to slightly crip the ends tighter and reinstall them!

[Bonding headlight extensions to the fender]

Sorry about that , Mine are metal buckets (S30) assumed yours were same!

[Bonding headlight extensions to the fender]

I bolted and tack welded mine then filled, tried with out the tacka nd kept cracking!

[insurance on my Z]

bet dollar to a donut it is liability ONLY!!!!! Go check hagerty's!

[dont know whats wrong]

My vote is VALVE ADJUSTMENT, will make you think it is missing!!!

[Any one looking to sell seats!!]

tell me! I have another 77 in the garage about to finish and he wants that!!!!!!!!!!!! As I pick myself up off the garage floor rolling and LMAO!!!

Lets see...... 3 motors or rebuilds and two wrecks hMMMMMMMMMMM NOT

[Any one looking to sell seats!!]

Zfever, if you dont find them PM me in a couple days, I believe My son is going to part out his 73 240, he has screwed it up for the last time it appears, broke the frame behind the front right rear, enough is enough but if he is going to get another ride I dont see any option but to part it and sell to help with cost, its a shame it started out decent!

[Hazard switch, can't find it ANYWHERE!]

Yup ! Thought so

[Hazard switch, can't find it ANYWHERE!]

95% sure I have one or 2 in my stash, you can PM me.

[We don't need no stinking fusible links!]

litlle blurry but htese came from wally world!!

[Charging issues, still charges, just doesnt seem to charge enough]

ok try this, take a jumper lead and attach to Pos post on batt, the other end touch it in the back of the connector marked L on the alt. and see if you are registering a charge, could be you have lost your "Sense voltage".

 

You could prob solve most of your probs if you did the 83 alt upgrade that eliminates the votl reg and goes to internal reg alt.

[uncovering a history of bad body work]

RacerX, Im in need of two front fenders and a rear hatch 77ish, it they are gonna seperate!

[spark plug gapping]

Thanks for the info Tony

[spark plug gapping]

so the rev limiters are preset at a certain rpm and you just swap them????

[spark plug gapping]

Katman, would you expound on the MSD thing, I just aquired a 77 that has MSD on it, and pulled the crappy autolite plugs out and put in NGK @ .0045. Dont know anything about the MSD, gotta find the rev limiter thing so I can change it, it is set @ 6000, NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

[cutting into the dash wish me luck]

you might think about fuel pressure gauge, great trouble shooting tool!

[gauges speedo help]

Drop the steering column by removing the 2 bolts at the bracket, this gives you alittle more cleareance. the tach and speedo are attached with 2 screws each, one thru the face plate at the top and 1 on a bracket under the dash, pull the tach out fowards and then you can stick your hand thru the tach hole and remove the speedo cable and the speedo!

[Weber fuel pressure issue]

Common denominator here appears to be the holly bypass type regulator, had same prob here! also running adiff elect pump at tank (cant rember brand) and mechanical on engine! with guage installed in regulator.am using the bypass port back to tank return.

[New Mods to the detached garage!!!]
