That's what I would do. I already replaced the one off the regulator, the day I got the car. I could also re-route the injector wires, clean everything up, and other stuff at the same time. thanks.

Go getit weighed! You can find scales at the places where you buy bricks/cinderblocks...

My 78 280Z. Recently, while driving on city streets, way out in the country-burbs, my engine would just cut out with your foot on the gas, pushing just a little. So I let off the pedal, and the engine comes back., push again and it "stalls" like if it was floodded or the injuectors suddenly quit. A couple times it happened turning a corner, or when you accelerate off the light, usually just after the 1-2 gear change. I was thinking there might be a problem with the wiper on the AFM, like water or oil on the resistive strip. or something with the flapper. Any thoughts? thx

I just finished my 2CD set of 'Zed Rock!' It's got 10 songs per, and fills exactly, a 90 minute cassette. Good, rockin' car- type songs, one after the other...

The crimp clamp is not the problem. Can you put on a new hose, with any kind of clamp?

On my '78 280Z with original everything... The #3 injector is dripping small drips (fortunately) of gas onto the intake manifold. I thought it would be easy to just replace the one rail-to-injector hose, or all 6 for safety. then I noticed that there is some kind of a crimp-type clamp on the injector. Can you still replace just the hose? thx

I was a Boy Scout & leader for 25 years.... :| And I remember ALL that stuff! not

On the 280Z, there is a plastic trim panel you have to remove. BUT, before you remove that plastic panel, you have to remove the hatch stru/support on that side.

Use all new wiring. Try to avoid the old, cruddy wires, which will make the lights just as dim as it was before you added relays. Make sure you have a proper ground connecton. It will be tough enough having brighter lamps ifyou are still using the rusty original plug on the back of the lamps. It would be nice to put in new lamps & connectors.

The lights have only one ground for each bulb, and the power wires are always hot, the ground leg being the switched one. Use the OEM switch to trigger the relays. I'm planning on one relay for both high beams, and one for lows, and you shouldn't need a fuse to power the relays; a very small one should do (check relay specs). I think the last problem is to have good, clean connectors on the lamps themselves.

Are you sure that you don't need 2 power wires for the stereo? Most newer ones have two. One (always hot) for the clock/memory and one (switched) for the amplifier. Plus ground.

The first thing that I think of is that the PO wanted to make the wipers go faster, so he hard-wired the motor, eliminating the voltage loss through the connector.

Nice polish job.

I would just hammer a line (or two) of naills into a board, then attach the wiring harness and use patch wires to simulate the switch. Document the circuit and then email a copy to everyone here- or at least ME. thx

Are you going to hget those plastic covers for the A-pillars? I left mine off, but the screw slots aren't pretty. Some kind of plug fits? thx

I hate black vinyl. BTW, the Bucs stink.

What do "new ones" have? thx

Send them to Iowa. Have them dig that wile-wide canal the Mid-westermers want from the great lakes...

The vinyl cover on my door sill plate(s) is starting to peel off. What are you bozos (oops- bros doing to refurbish those? Can you remove all the vinyl and polish or chrome? Vinyl looks cheap and I usually drag my shoe over it which is peeling the vinyl off. I like the clean look of the older look. Vinyl is so '70s... thx

I think I've just been insulted...

Nope... Better winters in Ohio. We actually get snow. Then in the Spring, it melts! hot summers, too. All 4 seasons. See if they get that in L.A.??

Don't they do anything in Northern Ohio? I gotta drive hundreds of miles to get any fun.

Rick--- Why don't you just vote again and add the one you need?

I have a degree in analytical chemistry, but since I got disabled, I work for the Social Security Company. That and 3 part-time jobs might help me to get my GTO conversion done on the 280Z over the winter. That way, in the spring/summer, I might head down Tampa ways in the GTO to see my sweetie. Got that Vicky?

How do you get on the list? thx
