Right!?! "Thank you Mr. Customer. After purchasing all that performance stuff wouldn't you like a trailer hitch too?" Imagine a 3000 pound car with a maxed out 2000 pound load on a trailer. -
In a later catalog they list BRE cams as well as G/B cams. Maybe just a local parts supplier. With a coincidental name then. One catalog came with my car from a town near Portland, The later catalog came in a swap meet purchase.

Has anyone here heard of Ger - Brock & Co. out of Portland OR? Just wondering if there was any connection in the Brock name. Geraghty - Brock?

There is oil spray on the surface too, and most notably the out of true groove. I would venture to say that had been broken for some time while it was a runner. Hopefully mine will get him on to the next stage.

That is quite possible I have only had 1 ZX and I sold the power steering off it a while ago. I do remember some where that the 79-80 had manual steering and the 81-83 had the power option. Thus the add on pulley would make more sense. This pulley came in a batch of parts I bought off a racer that was moving, so I do not know the full set up or year.
-
I think it resembles this one. It is a two pulley that was for the ZX with power steering. The third pulley is a bolt on for the A/C. IIRC.
-
I have a loose 280 2 pulley one off the engine it looks like the eBay one, smaller back ring size. The one in the OP first pic looks like the ZX one with a third pulley. I have one of those off the engine as well.

These pieces Jim?

In my understanding of these diagrams, the upper C1 shows the x'ed out ones have no wires in this positions. The lower C1 is what the plug actually looks like. SteveJ will know for sure about this. 🙂

I'll bring two damaged, but with working switches to the Club Meeting @7tooZ Just buy me a beer. 😎

Your killing me...Zed🤣😂 It also says on the side bar "Manual transmission". But who knows for sure until you see it. The seller thinks it is a 72

The ad says Title status Clean. It does have a hole in the roof.

I added to my post above.

I saw this too. I have to agree with @DatsunZGuy looks like an early 260Z @zedhead Tail lights, Bumper mounts, fusible links, Evap can, larger coil.
-
Steve, My 82 parts car still has the cable in it and seems to work well. Any interest?
-
Not sure where this is from either, but thought it was cool. At least the Z is up front. lol
-
Others will have more detail on dates for when these started and stopped etc. The one with the with the extra tab on top (left on last pic)is for the early 69-70 cars. That tab is where the hand throttle cable hooks up. The one on the right is the replacement for that, after the hand throttle was recalled and omitted.

While this is not vintage, yesterday in fact. (Pacific Raceways in Auburn WA at the Historic Races.) This guy was leading the pack most of the day.

I have sent my carrier pigeon, he is almost there now.

Ha ha I thought that was amazing as well. The emblem holding the fender together. I thought the lock might be some sort of anti theft switch, but who knows.
