Isn't there a 620 pickup with the diesel motor in it? Seems like @Blue was coming down south to pick one up, Florida maybe?

If the prices continue to rise the way they have been, I will buy as many as I can find down here. Work on them until I'm not able to anymore then sale. They're a great investment.

First of my day! 8^)

So true Mark, I've bubbled my fingers touching the bulbs. 1157s IIRC. 8^(

I "LIKE" what you say Dennis, I'm maxed out for the day though. Ten per day and I'm an early riser.

A man after my own heart!

There you go! 8^)

Definitely not in my experiences. Mom's my gauge though, I've learned more from her than she knows.

Read, read, read! Every problem I've ever had has been documented over the 40 years of these cars. 8^)

There you go! Sounds like a good idea to me.

If that dimmer works like a potentiometer I think I would try spraying some CRC electrical cleaner first. Then pull it and sand the wrapped wiring.

And a connection above the fuse panel.

I did a quick google search of 280z dash light blows fuse. Here's the thread that mentions the inspection light in the engine bay also corroded side marker light sockets. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48516-keep-blowing-the-fuse-for-the-dash-lightstail-lightspark-lights-please-help/

My Mom got out at 62 and regrets it. She says there's a big difference in the money between 62 & 65. She worked in the IT department at a hospital, retired and all she does is stay online. She's nutty as squirrel's turd.

I can find more fasteners in those drawers than a parts store. Ace has the same too.

It's grounded above the cig lighter I think. You should be able to see it from the floorboard, looking up. Maybe it's loose.

Am I missing something here? The dimmer is the obvious problem to me. You unhook it or dial the power down and the fuse doesn't blow.

It's the one on the left with the puddle of sweat under it. Well on second thought, puddle of something.

Thank you @jfa.series1 Hillman p/n 884306 Lowe's item #153514 Pack of 2 for $1.30. 7/8" black furniture tip fits like a glove for the smog pump nipple on back of the air cleaner housing.

And we got screwed! Comcast charges $5 a month for Broadcast fees. They told me that was payment to the movie studios, which they own, Universal Studios. We'll get it again on the radios. I have a Bluetooth speaker I put in my Zs and use iHeart on my phone on long drives but nothing sounds sweeter than my 2.4 with the aluminum flywheel and MSA exhaust, IMHO. That Abarth system somebody posted the other day sounded good too.

Yes, congratulations! You will get Social Security, right? I've worked construction most of my life and got that same handshake and pat on the back but that was it. A year later they bankrupted in 2008 when the bottom fell out. I got out just in time.

With the Z compressor would you just have it retrofitted for the 134a freon? Or use this, https://www.amazon.com/Cans-RED-Refrigerant-Freon-Replacement/dp/B00E9W2PPS/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_cp_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=51HFXhvDGTL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_SL500_SR135%2C135_&psc=1&refRID=XWG3J35G7DTJYKVY7YAZ After reading the reviews, I'm very interested, 5 stars!

You should contact Dave Erwin here, http://datsun-240z-upgrades.net/products/ He may reply to this thread but he's a busy guy. I've read where people have sent their combo switch to him for refurbishing.

I like simple, take me back to the 80s. What does SW stand for on the volume/tone knob? I tried google and it comes back "subwoofer" . Is it just SWITCH?
