  1. I picked up 2 over the weekend for $13. I'll let you guys know if they don't work out, and I still need to buy one. But I am wiring up my fuel pump, so I can't tell you until then. ~Thanks
  2. Thanks for the help. The longer I thought about it, I realized doing it your way (the correct way), was just better. No point in frying anything, as that just makes for more work. It is a '71, so no mounts for an electric fuel pump. Also the carb is a 600 cfm, the stock pump has no problem keeping up with the front two barrels, but when the back two open up, it cannot keep up. I've tried every rod/jet change, but it just doesn't want to keep up with the back two. I don't think the stock pump is bad, as it read an output of 3.1 psi when I pulled it (which matched the FSM spec for it).
  3. I have a 240z with the original L24 engine, and have recently converted over to an Edelbrock 4 barrel. Needless to say the stock mechanical pump can't keep up with the carb, so I bought an electric Carter to replace it. My question is: Can I steal power from my fuel sending unit without blowing anything up to power my fuel pump, so should I run a wire to the fuse box? Ultimately I'm trying to get ignition power to the pump, and would prefer not to run 12' of cable through the length of my car Or is there another source of power that I am not aware of that would be a better place to go to? Almost forgot, I'm mounting my pump to the rear differential mounting brace. ~Thanks
  4. Outstanding sir, keep me updated.
  5. Looking to buy a distributor for my 240z, but one for a 280zx will work just fine too. No shaft play, please. I'm in Sacramento, CA.
  6. I picked this baby up for my 240Z yesterday: Best of all it is designed to be used with an Edelbrock carb (I've only seen Holley manifolds out there, and I'm an Edelbrock man). My only question is how much can my stock mechanical fuel pump keep up with? I know on AZC they say keep the stock pump, but that is for a 390 cfm Holley. The smallest Edelbrock goes is 500 cfm. I've found a 600 cfm Edelbrock for $100, would this work, or am I faced with switching over to an electric fuel pump? ~Thanks
  7. Wow, that helps more than you could know. ~Thanks
  8. While trying to hunt down a short in my heating system, I found the tag on the inside of the glove box which gave me the code: 4647 - in reference to the key code for the ignition/doors/rear hatch. My question is: Does this seem to be a valid code, or should I pull the ignition cylinder and search there. I'm 90% certain that I have the original locks all around. ~Thanks
