'78 280z injectors not receiving power
Seems, looks like, some are missing? I had a bad alternator that back charged mine and popped all fuses. Sucked being me parts store replaced the alternator but that's all.

1970 HLS30-06521 Re-Restoration
I've seen those on a bunch or motor pics left on. Just like the rear hooks on 240s back bumper for shipping I removed mine. Stiil have them! But they're useless on our cars after the fact. Those levlers have some tricks to make them work smoother and bot so damn jumpy. If you can't find it in that thread let me know and I can share my experiences that makes it a little easier. @Jeff G 78hopefully will jump in too. Cliff

COVID-19
They figured out how to get Alabamians to vaccinate. No spectators again this fall if the data doesn't improve. Phones are ringing off the hook at my pharmacy and other locations to get in. Priorities people, Alabama's #1.

74 260z distributor on wrong ??
$2 at Harbor Freight or just about anywhere else. For working alone as I often do now days. You can position it so you see it from the drivers seat.

Bouncing speedo, cable lube procedure?
I like white silicone spray. Seems to last longer than something like wd-40. That "worms" one way and I can't remember exactly which end to start with. Somebody will tell us. Seems like the gauge down to the transmission but not positive. You could lube the easy access end of the tranny and use a air compressor gun to push it through.

I use this and think most people do too. Manual transmission. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-50304-Transmission-Transaxle/dp/B000CPCBEQ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=redline+mt90&qid=1623436601&sr=8-1 Some instructions while you wait on delivery to read over.

Cleaning fuel injectors in seafoam
You could bench clean them by running Seafoam through them or carb cleaner. I found fj707t were the cheapest new ones when I replaced mine. Fastwoman used some cheap green ones on ebay. FJ3s I think? The refurbished ones are cheaper too, they're all over the internet. I think you just need to make sure they have the top hose already attached, not those that have a coupled on hose from the Toyota supra they try and sale as Datsuns. Good luck with your sale once you get to that. Cliff

This may help in some way. It's from the ZX dizzy swap but shows the ballast resistor you eventually remove. From Blues Tech Tips. https://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/distributor/index.html Next step is to see which of the two back w blue striped wires to the center ballast connector "R" is NOT +12V. Disconnect both and turn key over to "start" while checking voltage on each. The one without the voltage goes to a capacitor (aka condenser). Mark the other one with +12V with red tape.

- CLutch Kit
I would. They're only about $10 for a Timken. Chain parts store have them or can overnight if not on the shelf. Seems like I bought mine from Advance or O'Reilly's. Could've been a National seal? One or the other.- saturday night music thread
Didn't we have a joke of the day thread or similar years ago? I'm losing my mind is the joke for today but I heard a funny Rodney Dangerfield one too. "I woke up and looked in the mirror and told my wife, oh my wife what a catch, that I had wrinkles and was losing my hair. I asked my wife, what a great wife, for a compliment. I needed one. She says you still have good eyes."- 74 260z distributor on wrong ??
Here's a great thread that I just found that hits on your situation. Read it.- 74 260z distributor on wrong ??

There should also be a ground wire on the bottom bolt hole of the distributor's pedistal. They're on my cars.- 74 260z distributor on wrong ??

I like Popeye's spicy. Glad you got it after 40 years. That's amazing! I would never been able to find it.- Blown Fuse Link and Now No Power at Ignition
Could one of the small glass fuses under the radio have blown when the starter link failed. I'm pretty sure there's one for ignition. - CLutch Kit
