Will a wiper motor out of a 1982 DATSUN 280 ZX fit in a 72 240z. I am not worried about the Wiring I have access to both year diagrams.

I am more interested in knowing how much if any modifications I will have to do it or my 240 to get it to fit. This motor seems to be more available than the early year models.

Thanks

James

Did I stump the Z Guru's?:stupid:

I sure would hate to pass up this motor and find out it works in my older z.

Sounds like no one knows.

Maybe you could post to the IZCC List. Perhaps someone there knows.

Only one way to really know for certain..........try it. I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear.:disappoin

I know I haven't tried it before.....:stupid:

They look similar but that doesn't answer the question does it?

BTW, did the wiring diagram help?

2Many,

They worked out great, the thing still does't start though. I am curious if the Ign. Module was bad if it would cause it to not start.

I mean the Coil is firing, The plugs are firing, I have the right order and there is gas getting to all injectors. The Dagone thing will not kick. It just turns over.

If the ignition module were toast, you wouldn't be getting spark at the plugs. You have spark at the plugs, and the injectors are firing and it still won't start? Something doesn't sound right. Are you sure the injectors are firing? While you are cranking it over, take a long screwdriver and put it on the metal hold down of one of the injectors and see if it is clicking. If the injector is silent, it isn't putting fuel into the cylinder and therefore no start.

One of the wires may be wrong off the coil or the terminal strip. I had a problem like this hooking up the MSD in the 75, had fire to everything except the injectors, come to find out I needed a tach adapter to signal the MSD to fire the injectors.

Double check all the wiring, one is either not hooked up where it should be, or it is not making contact for whatever reason.....

Just happened to think, is the tach working when you crank it over? If not, then there may be the problem. If I remember right, there are two wires off the same terminal as the tach signal wire and one of them is for the injectors.

Thanks for the advice, I will check this out tonight when I get to the garage.

I love the old addage, 2 brains are better than one.

Thanks again!
