Leon: Well it was about a mile or so into breaking it in. I figure that may be considered the roughest thing I could have done while breaking it in other than downshifting to much. BluDestiny: While jammed, I was in second and shifted to fourth before cutting it off.

I installed a new exedy clutch when i was painting my engine bay in my 280z.. Well I was driving down the road with my younger brother and my gas pedal got stuck. It was only going in one direction. So long story short, until I reached down there and yanked it back up with my hand after I turned the engine off in the middle of the road. It was redlining for a few seconds. It drove the rest of the 5 mile trip just fine. Is there anything i should be checking to make sure I did not kill the new clutch? If anyone is curious, I put an accelerator rod boot on my firewall and it jammed the living hell out of it.

Would the bracket be needed to grounded on N/A models?

The issue has been solved and it was that the pick up coil had gone bad.

So the capacitor is doing exactly what beermanpete said it should on the multimeter. I guess Ill just keep chasing down the grounds. I want to say it was the wire that the capacitor was removed from getting hot, but it could have been others too.

Oh and something to add is that I am using an Accel Super Stock coil. Its about five months old and has been performing like normal until the engine was pulled.

Hey, I just repainted my engine bay and reinstalled my first engine in my 76 280z. I was feeling proud of my self when it was cranking, but for some reason I cannot get spark. Ive been staring at wiring diagrams all day. I cannot find a problem. The only thing that seems fishy to me is the condenser. The reason I say this is that i tested for continuity and it failed. My knowledge of condensers is low so i studied up on them and supposedly they absorb the energy. Is this why the continuity test is failing? I tried starting it without the condenser, the wires got really hot while cranking it for less than four seconds. What other ways can i test the condenser?

THAT REAR BUMPER. I am in love guys.

Does the vacuum line going into the valve cover ever get oily on the inside?
