if anyone would be willing to help me out, i just need someone with a 280z to pop off the black cover on the left side of the air flow meter and push the needle all the way over to full open and let me know where the silver needle (indicated by the red circle) sits. i have a picture there i made in paintbrush with numbers so you can use that or if you just want to copy my picture and put a dot to let me know where yours sits at. i would really appreciate anyone thats willing to help me out. thanks, aaron.

It sits over the #2 in your picture. Don't tinker around too much in there unless, like they say, 'ya got skills!'

well, its all scewed up in there anyways. someone who had it before me messed things up a bit, so now im trying to get it all straightened out. i think my AFM is just messed up too though. i'm just waiting to get the one from MSA. i really appreciate you checking that out for me though. hopefully this will make it run right. thanks again.
