  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. I hate black vinyl. BTW, the Bucs stink.
  5. What do "new ones" have? thx
  6. Send them to Iowa. Have them dig that wile-wide canal the Mid-westermers want from the great lakes...
  7. 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
  8. I think I've just been insulted...
  9. 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.??
  10. Don't they do anything in Northern Ohio? I gotta drive hundreds of miles to get any fun.
  11. Rick--- Why don't you just vote again and add the one you need?
  12. 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?
  13. How do you get on the list? thx
  14. I thought the Z had rubber channel stuff inside the door window frame? Mine got all hard and shrunk a little.
  15. Water would probably work, but would contaminate the lines. Then you have to dry them out before going back to gasoline.
  16. If you totally removed the cannister and plugged all the hoses, you would either have to vent the fuel tank (unscrew the cap) before getting in the car or add a solenoid valve (or a check valve?) to let the pressure out when the fuel pump is running. there HAS to be a better way than what it had.
  17. I looked at the hoses and where they go, and it looks like they all go the intake (i.e. vacuum). One goes to the dizzy for vacuum advance. Don't disconnect the vacuum line from the cannister without plugging it, or the engine will stall. I think you could just replace it with a smaller can to do the same job. I'd put that can where the vacuum bottle was.
  18. Thanks for the info. I bet it's only a bit of the whole thing, but it gives help. It'll take some practice to get good at understanding it all as fast as you hear it.
  19. Is there a website that explains all the lingo used in pace notes for rallying? It would be nice to understand what those guys are saying (in english). I don't speak finnish, french, etc., so I'm not iunterested in that. thx
  20. I had the same problem with my little S-hose for the heater! Mine even hads a flush tee from the PO. I had the radiator shop fix that straight away. Just about everything made of rubber or plastic that's exposed to t he elements is dried/cracked/etc.
  21. I got the one by Wick Humble. What do you mean by "Doing up a Zed?" Restore? Customize? Modify/race? thx
  22. Have you considered using the new L.E.D. bulb substitutes? Much less current needed, and I think they are supposed to be brighter.
