  1. Alright I got it all for the most part figured out ignition wise but I am still stuck. The orange part I was holding just goes to the dizzy. I am stuck though as to where the thin white wire from the msd 6al goes. Help would be awesome as I got every thing figured out for the most part besides that and if that piece was the oil pressure sending unit Edit: Found a different page in manual about my 4 pin dizzy and answered all the ignition questions I had regarding white wire which does not need to be used. If any one knows if that is the oil pressure sending unit that would be helpful
  2. Looking really good man. I'm 16 and got my z when I was 15 to. Yours is in much better shape though haha.
  3. Here she is. Will be dressing her up and out of those old clothes but it has an rv cam and a bw t-5 so I am a happy clam. Looks like a crazy sleeper like that but I kinda skuffed the orange paint off of the valve cover so I will just keep with my plans and get some chrome in there.
  4. I am undergoing the oh so popular chevy 350 swap and came to a hault at ignition. I am in the process of ordering the msd6al ignition and the 8920 tach adapter since its a 72. I am thinking of ordering the blaster 2 coil but do not know how to hook it up to dizzy as their is a harness on the chevy dizzy. I took a picture of the harness and some help as to how that goes into the coil would be awesome. Also is the unit to the right of my hand the oil pressure sending unit that I replace with my 240z's. Always thought they were down by oil filter but maybe not. Anyways some help would be awesome cause I try to research this but hit and miss on the ignition section.
  5. We owned a 1996 cadillac sts stil last year. Got to 140,000 miles with 89 octane (requires 93 i believe) and was awesome. The emissions system and electrical in the car started to freak so we got rid of it but that motor is pretty amazing. Can't be dissapointed at getting 140k out of it though and the issue probably starting with are decision to run a lower octane haha
  6. I already own the JTR book but I was able to find it when using fuel safety cut off switch instead of oil pressure switch. I need to get that book back from my buddy to make that housing cause well.. it just doesn't seem right spending that much on a little piece of metal.
  7. Looks great. I was wondering if you like the quality of that roll and cut carpet cause I love the price of that stuff and was thinking of doing that over an MSA kit.
  8. I am undergoing the JTR Swap and hit a stump when I went on an adventure to find the chrysler oil pressure switch (If that is what they call it, or fuel relay I don't know). Went to schucks and NAPA and they did not know what I was asking for so I am looking online and still stumped. I searched everywhere including this forum. If anyone ordered this part online it would be awesome if I could get a link. Also if anyone has an alternative to buying that $21 water temp housing bolt from JTR it would be great cause that price is just stupid and those little items really break the bank.
  9. Family friend came to same problem but after a couple hours we just ended up trimming a little off the shifter hole. I guess it is pretty normal then but I have not got it running yet so what do I know LOL
  10. Bodi, Sorry I do not have any more pictures of the install besides the one I attached in this post. Let me say this, the floorpan install is actually pretty easy once you aquire the kit and welder. I used a large saw to trim a little bit off the new pan I did not need though. All you do is align everything up after the rust and floors are all cut out and use a jack or two to keep it in spot before tacking it in. Then release jack, finish up welds, and apply seam sealer. As far as the rails, I put a footlong piece of L shaped steel VERY THICK inside that, then hung out the rail to give me a little more metal to weld the floor rail to. Tacked it in by drilling holes in the frame then tacking through the holes. I had left over fiberglass resin so I stuffed it "Not that it will do much" and then heavily coated por-15 on the inside and outside. A little over kill but that is a very important part of our cars. -Hope that helps Bahraini240z- You wait and see what I got in store in about a week. HAHA rail pic.bmp
  11. I think I saw you did a frame rail replace. How did that go?

  12. Keep on chuggin along lol. Looks like great work though and fitment looks very clean on those floors and rails. What type of undercoating you going to do on your ride?
  13. I have been looking into the camaro radiator swap from the JTR kit and I think I found something that will work. I came across a 1988 firebird trans am that has the 305tbi. It has a radiator in good condtition and was wondering if this would fit my needs. They appear to be pretty much the same cars but I could not find anything about them being the same so any help would be awesome.
  14. Looks like a great bang for your buck right there. Sweet ride. Sorry to chime in late but no one said anything about a used Acura TL or TSX?
  15. Same issue. 3 family cars broken into in 1 and a half years just outside the house. It's a nice neighborhood but some punk kids. In one they got my bro's sub but anyways I have had to think bout this to for when I can not use a garage. -Make sure any stereo equiptment is not visible as thats very attractive to theifs (Don't bump your stereo in the neighborhood either cause they will find your car pretty easily) -Buy a wheel lock stick thing and turn the tires as far as they can to a side -Simple but pull the parking brake -Try as hard as you can to make the interior not look like a teenagers car -Unplug battery (If you have no alarm) -Or be like my pops and keep a gun at easy access and make em' **** their pants to guarantee they won't be back. To bad he snores so loud he probably would not hear an alarm go off HAHAHA
  16. I don't know what your talking about but I would love to have that. Unique and looks bada$$ haha. Then again I am 16 and will drive anything that looks unique that not many people own haha. Hence the v8 240z
  17. Five, Are you not running a fan or is there a mech fan in there. I want to run mechanicle so I was just wondering. Also is that the 240z radiator cause I might try mine out first and see if temps are not to bad?
  18. Went and checked my car for you and I have the progressives actually in the rear. It looked right before pulling my motor for the swap which then raised my front end really high haha. It also explained why I was able to compress the springs onto the strut assembly with my weight. Hope I did it right cause that was a PITA!!!! and let me say that twice cause I also put the front struts in the rear cartridge. Screw MSA though for not putting instructions in that dayuuum box. I still love you MSA though
  19. I believe the progressive ones with the more tightly coiled springs go in the front
  20. I really like them but I ordered a dash cap the other week so I would have it now. Got an email saying it was on backorder and I just said ahwell. Just wish that could have been stated before purchase if you know what I mean. Will continue to buy from them though as I love their huge selection and sales.
  21. Recieved my sanderson headers from JTR and they are sweet. Look like they will get the job done and can't wait to use them. To add on to that I put the car on a trailor with all my parts to bring my dad's friends house. I will show you guys in a couple weeks of what it's doin there if ya know what I mean.
  22. Nice same problem with mine. Wouldn't come out so I stripped them. Got two out with vice scripts then just said screw it and drilled them out. To bad the speakers didn't fit. I was going to do 6x9's there but then decided I will figure something else out when I get to that point in the build
