i understand what you're saying but i know that there is a way to increase it though, would you happen to know?

I have a 1977 280z which runs great but at times has trouble starting up because the RPM needle is lower, less than one, but when it runs normally it stays at 1. I need to know how to raise the rpm needle to a little bit over 1 (In between 1 and 1 and a half) can anyone please help me with this?

If anybody has a datsun 280z 1977 could you please check where the fuel pump wires lead to? mine stop at the bottom passenger seat, so if anyone could compare i would greatly appreciate it!

Yay I fixed the battery problem it was the voltage regulator thanks for all the help everybody it was well appreciated

Is this the voltage regulator...???

Can the car still turn on if the alternators disconnected...???

I'm gonna try this out today i'll keep you guys posted thanks!

Well when i try to start the car it reads on the voltmeter that the battery goes down then as soon as the car starts it goes back up. Also, when i rev the engine too hard it reads on the voltmeter that it goes down and as soon as i let go of the pedal it rises back up. And if i keep on trying to start the car the battery will die out, usually i disconnect the battery just in case the battery does die out when its parked in the backyard but i don't for sure.

ok so i changed the negative cable to the starter where its suppossed to be and the battery keeps going down, i know for sure its the alternator and i need to get a new one but a couple of months ago i took it off and took it to autozone just to see if it worked and they told me it did but im gonna go ahead and buy one to see if it solves the problem, if the battery level keeps going down then what could be the problem...???

Well actually the one with the two pickups weren't just for automatics mine has a 4- speed standard transmission and has two pickups. I know that the 75 has two pickups as well so will one of those work on my 76 or do i HAVE to get one from a 76...??? ( does it matter if it's a 2+2...???)

I need a distributor for my 76 280z (2+2) It's the one with two pickups

Thanks for the help, info really helped out

So i brought my 76 280z (2+2) over to a mechanic and told me that the distributor wasn't working so i brought him over another one to replace it and said it was different so thats when i thought should'nt all distributors from the z's be the same...??? I mean 72-76 should be the same right...??? Please reply Thanks in advance
