MAYHEM

Yeah, that seems to about right. Because everything up to the latch assy is working, And thru troubleshoot I removed each item one by one going to the latch. Sooooooo where is this shaft at?

LOL Yeah i'm away from 'ya

I think it might end up being a beater after I kick the hell out of it.

OK I got the door panel pulled away. I can push down on the paddle section of the latch (the area of the latch that the external handle rod goes through) and nothing. I compared it o the right door rods and they look the same. I also acuated the internal handle and still no bind, full movment. I then removed the door lock, just to take it out of the picture and still no "click and open" It seems to be internal of the latch system.

No it does not open form the inside.

I’m unable to open the driver side door. Using the key I can lock and unlock the door. Using the inside and outside handles I can see the system moving, but nothing is unlatching the door. So right now the door is either locked or unable to unlatch. Anyone have any ideas ? As of yet I have not removed the door panel. HELP

What type of sealing agent is used? If any?

Quick question. I'm putting in a new rear glass hatch weather seal on a ‘77. Is it easier to put the seal on the window (glass) first and then hatch? Or vis versa? Any tips?

Old news I know,but has anyone here used these bulbs on the Z ? http://www.spiderlite.com/ .

Well I figured out what my problem was. Apparently the dizzy was rebuilt some time in its past 180 degrees out. So I removed the roll pin at the bottom of the dizzy and rotated the offset shaft 180 degrees. Put it back together and she cranked with no problem. Thanks for every ones input. Cheers

Ummm !!!! Well I got her running. I reinstalled the wires 180 degree out and Varooom!!! I guess the dizzy was rebuilt some time in it's passed with the shaft 180 degrees out.

Anyone? Any ideas ?

I just swapped my dizzy out of my '77 to a 80 dizzy as discibed by here http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html by BLUE. All the connections are correct. My problem is that when I tried to crank it for the first time , "BANG" out of the tailpipe. So I thought my timing was off some so I rotated the dizzy in both directions and nothing. I also loosened the other mount on the dizzy (the inverted bolt) and the same results. What am I missing? There is spark. And it seems like it's late. If I was to remove and reinstall the spak plug wire clockwise or counter clockwise can that help me out? I don't know which way to go or if there someting else I can do ? I don't see how I can be off of timing that much. I can't see how the dizzy can be installed wrong since the shaft is off set. Also the coil is an Accel one that ran fine with the old setup and ballast resistor. Any help would be great.

I'm in the process of doing the swap in my '77 to a 80 dizzy as discribed here. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html . Well I would like to pass on the part # for the support and other hardware. I had a major hard time tracking these down. The Nissan dealer her in Goldsboro NC,told me I had to buy the whole dizzy.......NOT!!!!! 22178-s6700 support 19.18 22179-07n00 gasket-support 0.63 22180-71200 Ring-O 4.19

By not hooking up the vacumm line or by another means ? Thanks in advance

Hi all, I know that this is not the wanted section but I thought I'll might get a response here. I have a '77 280 I finishing up on that has aluminum rear hatch louvers. But I don't have any attaching hardware. The louvers are made by Hammond. I have been unable to find I a phone # and the e-mail is a dead link. Any suggestions would be great. Cheers

Thanks for the input. I'm rewiring mine now. New 12 gauge wire along with relays. This weekend I'll have my new side mirrors too. I'll wire those to work with the turn signal. I'll load pic when I'm done.

Thanks for the head up.

I'm going to be doing this upgrade soon, and I have 2 questions. 1. with the ballast resistor removed is there any thing I have to consisder when getting a new coil? Also when I got the dizzy for my car I was unable to retreive the offset dizzy mount. does anyone have one laying around not being used? I'll be more than happy to pay for it. Thanks http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html

those of you that have these headlights wired in there Z, did you just wire the parking light to stay on ALL the time even with the headlights? or did you wire to turn off with the headlights on. I'm thinking that small parking light is not visible with the headlights on. I could be wrong. I'm getting a feel of what I'm going to do with mine. Cheers

In the shade or garage it looks black, but when I rolled out the garage it really lite up and lightened up.I was the pics were better.

Changed, I had to many windows open.
