Yes, sad to say but it was grannyknot. Simply amazing. I remember teflon tape on the threads but that didn't work.

Great read, unfortunately none of the pics showed up on my end. Glad you're sharing with us. Not sure if you've seen the other 300 build thread from @Diseazd son. Sorry I can't remember his username. 8^(

Your typing above looks a heck of a lot better than mine. I'm still at home.

I bought one off ebay but there is another supplier we've talked about on here, ledbrights.com or something like that. I found it. Superbrightleds https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=kUTGW4ijG4LezwLWooDYDg&ins=false&q=led+bulbs+classiczcars.com&oq=led+bulbs+classiczcars.com&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-hp.3...2934.27983..28055...6.0..2.440.7627.0j11j12j4j3....2..0....1.......3..0j41j0i131j46i131j0i7i30j0i7i10i30j0i30j0i8i30j0i7i5i30j30i10j0i13i30j0i8i13i30j33i299.XYe4EkOF-4s

Is this the one that supersedes that number?

My joke is how many times does a Z owner change the same bulb? Twice. I bought one of those cheapo LEDs first and like me it's not very bright so I get the good one with the panels, no cover. No good, Good,

It's a little nerve racking but it's the only way I found too. There's four tabs two each side. I think I used small screwdrivers and got one side down at time.

It's me! Or YOU.

He's reading your post.

20 years ago I'd be trying to go to sleep, staring at the ceiling fan.

I open up a restaurant at 5:30a.m. Leave at 11 a.m. when they "open" Pretty sweet job as I'm a morning person.

OE R180 with the wide B 5 speed. Mine does well in fourth gear. That's where it stays unless I'm on an interstate.

I'm jumping in blind but the MSA ceramic header and 2.5" premium exhaust is fantastic for the price. I have it on both mine but needed a resonator n my 280. Local guy did it for $50 if I remember right. Very sweet sound. Plus the ceramic header cuts the heat way down around the fuel side. That big ole cast iron oe manifold holds heat causing hot restarts problems in my expirences.

Thank you Charles! I'll have to read up on that. Mine runs around 75mph @2,200rpm. 80 @ 2,500. I changed out the speedo cog and have 15" tires. Seems steady compared to traffic on the interstate but that app would let me know for sure.

Back in the late '90s when I had my boat a friend paid $3,000 for a GPS and we all used it to get the correct speed. The factory set up was only good to about 70 or 80 mph. I put that in a pocket on the back of my seat. Made a few passes and it showed 101. I lost interest soon after that and sold the boat. Why do I spend all my time and money getting something to the top then lose interest? As bad as i hate to say it I'm scared to drive the 240. Still enjoy talking with my friends on here but the car sits all alone. How much does Mrs Dennis charge per hour?

Just an fyi and why I ask, my 9/'76 was one of the first change overs to the 5 speed. It has a "5 Speed" emblem on the passenger's side of the rear deck lid. You have a great car. I just always look for oddities in these old cars. I guess im a pessimist? Great car, carry on with the great updates and details. This is my social world, sad to say, I love reading the stories.

Here's another option. I haven't had to do it though but have read about for years. https://www.google.com/search?q=280z+R/T+mount+TechnoVersions.&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiHwdKhy__dAhVC0lMKHQ0ZBEwQ_AUICSgA&biw=1280&bih=606&dpr=1.25

You are right! My eyes have been looking at the boobie page and seeing twos of everything.

You're right, I can't find it now. That $96 one from rockauto.com is the cheapest I can find. Good luck Sir.

$60 bucks. https://www.google.com/search?q=Standard+Motor+Fuel+Pressure+Regulators+PR124&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&oq=Standard+Motor+Fuel+Pressure+Regulators+PR124&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i61l2&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

That sucks Bob. 8^( You would make a great fuel rail too. When I can do something with decent results someone like you could make a show piece.

I wonder why it has a 4 speed? And why the spare tire well is yellow? Google ZAP 280Z. They were yellow with similar striping. What's the door tag say? Date of manufacture. Could be a '77 ZAP??? Still a rare find no matter what it is. Congratulations!

He's making a fuel rail. He needs the single inlet '78-'83 for the rear of the rail to the return hard line.

Try googling that. Amazon may have it? I'm using my phone and it's limited capabilities.

I found my receipt from rockauto.com. Ultra Power p/n UPR PR8 $34.79 in 2012.
