  1. Oh and also, the car was near impossible to start up. Usually took at least 10 tries to get her to run and idle. Would ALWAYS turn over though. Just never fire or would fire and immediately shut off. Tony, looking elsewhere on here, the fuel pressure with the OE pump should be around 36 psi, so what you were reading from the gauge should be normal. Walbro claims their pump is 255LPH @ 43.5psi, which is what the gauge usually reads ( ~40psi ) at idle. Should have her back on the road in no time...or...about a week's time ha.
  2. Update: I bought Tony's car knowing the fuel pump was going out and was going to have it replaced within the month. Drove to my buddy's house about 2 miles down the road and had to restart right before the driveway. Went and put a little gas in her and she ran fine for the next few days. The fuel pressure would drop a bit, and the AF would get toward lean, but the restart always seemed to cure it. I drive the car pretty leisurely anyway, so the problem didn't rear its ugly head too often. Welllllllllll long story short, I was out for a drive and the car shuts off on me. Tried to restart to no avail. Zero fuel pressure. Haven't checked the fuses yet to see whether any have blown, but I had her flatbedded back home and now she's sitting up in the air waiting for a fuel pump after I changed the oil and tore out the turn signal switch trying to fix THAT problem ha. I'll let you all know what happens.
  3. ...we meet again. Hi all, I recently acquired my 1975 280Z from another member here on HybridZ about a week ago. The car's in great running shape ( other than then fuel pump I'm replacing this week ), but I can't live without turn signals. I've searched and searched ( even through some old threads when I had the problem on my 76 ), but I can't find a good solution to this typical problem. Symptoms ( or clues I guess ): - All parking lights work, but when hazards engaged, front right does not blink ( ground? and if so, where would be the likely culprit? ) - No turn signals blink ever ( cleaned the switch, still nothing but I expected nothing ) - Both headlights and hi beams work like champs. Running on MSII and most of the wiring doesn't run through the fusebox, but should I check there? Could the hazard switch be another culprit? Ignition switch? Thanks in advance
