This little incident happened when i was 16. I was working on this 1950 chevy stepvan, and i was trying to get the motor running so i had to rig up a fuel pump to the carb, and the fuel pump was pumping gas from a one gallon container. I didn't check to see if the spark plug wires were cracked...and they were, and i also didn't check the old fuel line running on top of the engine to the filter to see if it was leaking....and it was. can anyone guess what happens next........... when i go to start the engine it runs for a few seconds and turns into a fireball i was so worried about getting the fire put out i forgt to disconnect the fuel pump which kept feeding the fire. i got the fire put out with only a few burnt wires, and i was not injured in this little incident.

I'm trying to get my 1975 280z a DD but i need to get it legal firts insurance, plates, and emmissions. ithe only thing i'm worrying about is emissions.

i wish my z had floor pans like yours.... you are one lucky sob to get a z like that

those are custom

i heard of like a rock...but like a tank danm those frame rails are thick

I didn't want to pay a 100 dollars for a relay either so i now have theft protection, and a working fuel pump.

exactly if you build a project car whats the point in trailering it or never driving it... and you can't count driving it on and off the trailer driving.

those rims would look awfuly nice on my 280

wow that describes me in the best way

my fuel pump didn't work when i got my 75 280z what i did was i pulled the pump off the car took my battery charger and touched the terminals a couple of times to jump the pump and to break it free of anything and that worked for me.... oh you should also check your efi relay if yours is fuel injected. its one long relay and its under the drivers side of the dash. i hope this helps you out a little

can you just imagine how fast it could go if they didn't govern the car..... That would be amazing it would probably hit 300 mph or faster.....

if the cracks in the original dash are popping up do i have to cut them smooth with the dash for the dash cap to lay down properly?

that sucks

is the engine for sale...and is it a 2.8?

I've got a 1975 280z picked it up for $300.00 as is not running at the time. now it is running little rocker panel rust passenger and drivers side floor pans need to be replaced, and little body rust around the car

I'm thinking about doing this to my z... but should i remove the wwindsheild, and the rear hatch windows before i paint?

that car is looking awesome

longer sleeve would help your problem

you could try jegs....but i always buy my performance parts from summit racing

I can't decide if I still want to make my N/A motor turbod, or if I should just put a 280zxt motor and 5 sp in it.

whats an interferrence motor?

post some pics they will be very useful and helpful

You have to step back and ask yourself this.........Do I want to create and build my dream z car that I have been searching for for so long that is PERFECT for what I want to do, or do I want to sell it to make a little money, and maybe buy another car that I can build up on probably a rusty body and horrible condition. If it was up to me i would build my dream z, because you may never know when you could get another z like this to build on to be your dream. Just don't let your dream slip out of your fingers.

I would go with a turbonetics T 03/04 hybrid turbo. that is what i will be using when i build my motor.

must see this z. keep a camera with you at all times, if you find that z follow it and get pics
