okay.... i fixed it! i was reading up on converting to a late model electronic ignition set-up (i still have the points) and i read that the 280zx coil (which i have) was meant to be used without the resistor that the 240z has. anyway, bypassed it and bye-bye problem!

I would be careful and check your points regularly. The original purpose of the ballast resistor was to lower the voltage across the points thereby reducing pitting of the contacts from arcing. I think most people who remove the ballast do so once they have swapped to an electronic ignition.

after some thought i figured that... also, after another series of driving it DIDN'T fix the problem, just made it a little less obvious.... so back to the old drawing board
