  1. yes i know that but my stock 260z HAS an ignition module in the car. the dizzy is a points distributor coming from an early z
  2. Hi, Hopefully someone can help me out with a question. I have a 260z automatic that will soon be getting a 2.8L engine and manual trans. As part of the deal i'm getting a new coil and the dizzy on the 2.8. According to the seller it's a points distributor that has a Pertronix conversion kit so no more points. I'm a little bit in over my head on this but can I bypass the stock ignition module completely in the Z to make it all work? I'm in the process of removing the interior so I can do the pedal conversion and i'd like to get rid of as much extraneous wiring as I can while i've got everything apart. Thanks!
  3. WTB an early 240z exhaust manifold (pre-smog). would be willing to take a later version if all of the smog holes were open (bolts / tubes removed). Send me a PM or email me at rooster287@hotmail.com.
  4. i have that part of a 74 260z. i'd take $20 plus shipping. pm me
  5. how about $100 for the set? this would include door locks, ignition, glove box and rear hatch as well as two ignition keys and the spare key?
  6. i have a pair for sale. PM me for a price and pics
  7. i have a set from my 74 260z. Send me a PM if you are interested
  8. thanks for the replies everyone. Yes, the tires are wearing improperly at the center of the car. The current suspension doesn't appear to have been changed for a LONG time. I can't tell if the steering knuckles are messed up or not as they are still in the car - at least they aren't noticably bent. I haven't checked the play on the lower control arm ball joints but i'm sure they should be replaced at some point. I did order a new energy suspension bushing kit last night and i'll look into the ball joints today. One issue with the car is the front cross member is tweaked somewhat (bent up in a few places). not sure if this was from a collision or a bottle jack used to hoist up the car with a v8. I have a used straight crossmember which will be it's replacement. I think what I'm going to do is drop the entire front end and disassemble it. i'll then rebuild it with the urethane parts on the new cross member. Again, my concern is spending a ton of time on the front end to find that it's bent at the frame rails. If the frame rails look straight could they still be bent somehow from a collision?
  9. stock suspension as far as i can tell. 14x6 rims. definitely not lowered
  10. Hi, My car has an odd problem in that when one wheel is pointed straight the other wheel is off center (turned in slightly). I've checked the number of threads showing on the rack on both sides which appear to be the same as well as the number of threads showing on both radius rods. What could cause the wheels to be so noticeably off center? I'm concerned that the car might have had a front end collision of some kind although both frame rails look extremely straight. thanks Brian

  13. Hi, Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop in Southern California with experience replacing Z floor pans? Both of my pans are in need of replacement and I don't have the experience / tools to do it myself. thanks!
  14. Trevor - thanks for the information. i'll check them out.
