  1. The newer PCM's don't have the drivers to run IAC which is a problem for running a cable throttle body. I had a 2004 sierra 5.3 with drive by wire and had to source another computer at junkyard. If you get harness and computer from newer truck i think the connectors are different after 2006, which means it wont plug into your old computer needed for manual throttle body. Also somewhere around 2006/2007 GM switched reluctor wheels on crankshaft to 58x from 24x, so timing wont work without converting signals for cam and crank. The blocks are all the same but alot of things to mismatch, search well before buying. Good luck. AII the information you need is here. http://lt1swap.com/cable_conversion.htm
  2. I just installed the Eibach kit/Tokico HP struts on my 78 280z. I have the same problem, suspension is now higher than stock. I have the springs installed with part numbers 6303.001 Front(shorter spring) and 6303.002 Rear(longer spring). I have installed springs with writing right side up and readable. The struts cannot be installed backwards as the spacer on the bottom of rear strut wouldn't fit in front I believe. I bought from Whitehead Performance and they told me where each spring should be installed even though its not clearly stated online and there is contradictory information. I did tighten everything up with car on stands but went back after and loosened/tightened suspension with each side jacked up as it would sit on the ground. I can't drive the car now to unbind suspension as it is undergoing a small resto, and we are in the middle of winter here in Canada. Hopefully some of the smart Z people on here can offer suggestions as I have scoured the Net looking for answers. From what I have seen others post on the Eibach/Tokico HP setup, their pictures of their Z look good, so something is definitely wrong with our setup. Sorry to hijack your thread, hopefully we can find some suggestions from the smart Z people on here as I have scoured the Net and found nothing.
