Just letting everyone know. Been putting some miles on the Z. Runs real well. Gets severe wheel hop in 2nd gear. Gotta do something about that. Still got more work to do. Finish up some details then its to the body shop to get the body work done and a paint job. Thinking of pulling the engine when it goes to paint so the engine compartment can be painted nicely. Lots left to do to make the car nice. ed

Mario if your talking to me I would trade my springs for stock ones. They are on my car in the picture. Let me know. ed

I need a full set. Front and rear with the insulators? Anyone have that? ed

Im looking for stock springs with insulators and all for my 76 280z. Also looking for aftermarket frt air dam/bumper. ed

I tried to use a jtr mount but didnt like the way it fit. I also made one that uses the factory trans tunnel flanges. I was able to get my angles correct like that and did have to depend on floor structure integrity for the trans crossmember. ed

I installed a cable type clutch in my z using the quadrant and firewall adjuster for a fox body mustang. I dont have any good pictures right now but it works good. Only thing was it took several tries at getting the quadrant mounted where the pull was straight and worked good. I'll be honest, I had a race car builder friend of mine help with this. I dont think I could of got it figured out without his help. ed

What did it cost to do the coilover conversion and where did you purchase it? Its hard to find used parts for these cars. ed

Needing some ideas on how to combat rear wheel hop under hard accell. I have searched this but havn't really found any answers. Car has a 331 stroked 5.0 with a T5. I get severe wheel hope especially in 2nd. thanks

I have been told by the previous owner that my 280 has suspension off a 260. I hate how low the car is. I can get some stock 240 springs but wondered if i would have concerns. Im willing to buy stock 280 springs if that what i need to do. I would like to put coilovers on the car but short on money at the time. I need to get the car back up. Im not real concerned with handling as long as its not terrible, planning on drag racing the car. Feel free to tell me what works best. thanks

Just wondering if someone can tell me if springs from a 240z will fit a 76 280z. thanks

Im not really sure whats on the car. I know they are eibach springs but not sure on the series. I will using the car for street and strip so im not real concerns with handling. While i was searching for this i found a draglite wheel post and seems some were using a 240z lowering spring. Maybe im mistaken. I think the spring insulators are no in. Any help would be great. ed

I have a 331 stroker powered 76 280Z and I need help with spring selection. The car has been lowered and i need to get it back up so i can put some larger tires on it. Do i just purchase stock 280 springs? I have searched this some and saw that some are putting 240 lowering springs on. Is this the ticket to set this back to a heighth that i can tuck a pair of draglites maybe 15x8? Thanks in advance. Car runs great but gets horrible wheel hop. Im hoping this will help. ed

Just thought I would post a part number for a heater valve that I put in my 76 280. This valve fits pretty nice using the factory hoses and heater control cable. I did drill a small hole in the actuating arm so I could put the cable on then a small washer and cotter pin to hold the cable on the arm. It is a Murray part number from o'riellys auto parts. I think it fits a Freightliner. Part#74848 its about $43.00 dollars.

where did you locate the longer cable?
