Cool thanks Bjhines. Ill try and keep my connections as minimal as possible!
-
I don’t want to hijack this thread but while we are on the subject of fuel lines. I’m currently also installing new lines on my Z. However because the car is pretty well complete I don’t want to have to disassemble my rear end in order to install my new lines. So I was thinking that I would make then line in a few sections this way it would be easier to install. Do I have other options? Would this work and be safe? I doubt I would need more then 2 or three sections to complete the whole line.
-
Looks amazing! I too am currently running a new fuel line. I just started work on it today, anybody have any tips or advice?
-
Are you talking about the transistor ignition box? If so I've still got mine off my 75 280z im pretty sure it would work.

As I was cleaning my garage today I found a spare transmission cooler. Seeing that I have an integrated trans cooler in my radiator I really don’t have any use for it. So while I am redoing my fuel system I figured I would use it to cool my fuel. It has 3/8 in/out this leads my to believe that it wouldn’t slow my fuel flow down. Pressure shouldn’t be an issue as I am running a carbureted system at 8 psi. By cooling the fuel I should be able to eliminate vapor lock although that hasn’t been a problem, I might pickup a small horsepower increase. Id like to route it to protect it from any impact. Has anybody had any experience with this? any input?

cavimandan can you post some pics?

I have a turbo 400 transmission and am looking to cool it. I am planning on running solid lines like this http://Http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_757155_-1_10019 and connecting these via high temp/ pressure lines to the JTR radiators transmission cooler and my transmission. However I am unsure about a few things
1) Will a 3/8 line be big enough to flow the fluid I need to flow. This car will be street driven and is fairly stock only a few goodies nothing special.
2) Will 90degree elbow adpters cause me such great friction loss that it will affect the ability of the transmission cooler to do its job? (What size fittings do I need for a turbo 400 I forgot and really don’t feel like dropping my trans to find out)
3) The JTR radiators integrated trans cooler seems like it should provide me enough cooling has anybody had any issues with it not?
Any help or opinions are appreciated!

Thanks for the quick replys. Dave about the ts198 which temp rating am i looking for? M1noel I would like to have used my stock sensors but the problem is that I lost mine. So im trying to find parts that are easier to source.
-
Here it goes. Is their any way to adept aftermarket sensors for oil and temp to read from my 350 SBC and display on my stock datsun gauges? I lost the sensors when I moved and now need to make the gauges work. Ive been scouring ebay and classifieds however I would like other options. The fact that I will still have to adapt the datsun sensors to the 350 SBC is annoying. Is their any other option without having to purchase aftermarket gauges?
Btw motor is a carbureted 350 mild cam intake porting on heads. Jtr radiator.

Looks great!! I am sure you have a new vid to post, so post it!!
-
I love all this info. I didnt know about the hydrogen gas thats pretty spiffy. Correct me if I am wrong here but even being placed in box will not comply with most sanctioned racing unless the box is vents to the extriror?
-
great it seems my mind is made up Odyessy it is, can anybody suggest a good online dealer ?
-
thanks all . as far as why I am trying to hide the battery its mainly for looks. I relocated the battery to the rear but now need more space so id like to move it into the small compartments behind the seats and try it as stock looking as i can. so the CCA # is really important to me as that opens up more options for me.
-
e_racer1999 thanks for the reply. The 680 CCA odyssey is the right size and seems to put me on the right track however I cant find the specs I need ie how many CCA's do i need to get my car fired up. I'd like to get just enough to do the job correctly and consistently.
-
Here is my problem I need to find a battery that is fairly externally small in order to “hideâ€. However after hours of searching I cannot seem to find the information I am looking for. I need to know how much power output I need from my battery in order to crank my stock compression 350 sbc. As to what I understand after cranking I really have no need for the battery as my alternators output should be more then enough to supply power for all my needs. I’m running almost no accessories. But I do need enough power to allow maximum output for my hEI ignition box and dizzy. So how small can I go? What are my baseline numbers that will give me the power I need? Thanks for the help !
-
Exactly what is the problem you are running into?
BTW did you hook up your fuel warning lamp hazzard switch ect? I'm trying to figure out if i am going to.
-
Thanks everybody ! those autozone diagrams are so much easier to find your way around with. !!!
-
so what does the green white wire do then?
-
Okay after endlessly searching threw my wiring diagram I have one question that I need answered. It’s the only question I have left about my dash(i think). What does the red blue wire that connects to the light-bulb on my dash gauges do? Is it a ground? Does it need power? What do I do with it as far as hooking it up. On my new harness I have a wire for instrument lights however that runs to the old position of the green white wire. What do I do ?? I’m very confused at this point help ! stock gauges btw.

so got some more stuff done I hope that this is help to sombody at some point

Now time for a nice little write-up on the wiper
From http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wipermotor/index.htm
The Z harness, as I wired it, which I don't fully understand:
6 prong harness:
-1- -2- -3-
-4- -5- -6-
1: 12v, blue/red.
2: Ground, black.
3: No idea, maybe allows for proper stop/set of wipers
4: No idea, maybe allows for stop/set, seemed to read fluctuating voltage when engaged.
5: High speed, either blue or blue/yellow. Don’t remember, will update
6: Low, intermittent, and washer. Probably relay driven. Blue or blue/yellow.

Bob_H Great looking car! let us know how the wiring goes! Hopefully Sparky will let me post his EZwiring Writeup about the ignition switch and various other control switches!
-
A good alternitive to the c02 would be an abc type extingusher. It will put the fire out however it has an advantage over the c02 as it wont displace as much o2. helpful when you are in the garage.

280Z-75 thanks i have been workin off that diagram tho. On a side note this morning when i got home from work i figured id strip some more of the wire out of the Z, I didn't pay attention and sliced my pinky and ring finger open! so after a number of stitch's 6 in the pinky 4 in the ring finger to be exact i figure i better get a move on this harness 'cuse the car is starting to bite back!
-
Ok here it is my ezwiring 1975 280z wiring guide. It is currently incomplete and I still have a few parts to workout. They are
1) How to wire up reverse lights
2) Where to source the power for my tail lights (use third break light power?)
3) What powers all my gauge's? this issue stems from the fact that according to my diagram i have to wires running into the light bulbs within the gauge's, a green white and a red blue. However the ez only shows 1 wire for this light . Thinking the the red blue runs threw my dash dimmer and alters the current flow to dim my lights? and how to hook up my dash dimmer?
4)What circuit I want to use to power my ignition box (msd unit).
anyway this is what I have worked out thus far. It shows what color the wires are and what they do
and how to connect them to your Ez harness . I hope it serves as a good starting point for others. I know that others have broken down other sections of their Z harness and how it mates to the EZ please post and help out!
