blue72 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The part where the ignition switch connects to? I assume you're referring to a wire that connects to the ignition switch. If you look on the back of the ignition switch you should be able to see what the shape of the original connector was. As long as only one connector is missing that is. There should be a few wires leading into that switch. One of the wiring diagrams I happen to have on my computer is for a '75 280Z and shows five wires leading into the ignition switch. If you've downloaded a Factory Service Manual or followed a wiring diagram you should be able to tell which wires were cut based on routing and wire color. If you can tell us which wires they are that might help. I'm afraid I can't be of much use beyond that because all I have pictures of are combination switches.

Rustyfriend Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I am lost, are you just looking to replace the part that is screwed onto the back of the ignition where all of the wires hook into? If that is what you are looking for, I have a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyfriend Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Oh I see now, you want the clear plastic piece that hooks onto those prongs there and holds all of the wires together? I am pretty sure I have one of those. I'll just have to cut it off of my parts car when I am home this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustyfriend Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Unfortunately I do not know the name of the part, or the part number. Is there a junkyard near you? I believe that would be your best bet unless you can find the part in a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I routinely hit the JYs in Wilmington (2 large ones there), Sun Valley (1 large one there), and an import only by Autoclub Speedway and I usually run across 1 S30 and quite a few S130s.
