kacrow76

Ok the truth comes out. what did you get beat by. a Camaro or maybe it was a Mustang.

Great thanks. do you think they will work on a 76? they look a little different then the old ones.

Not sure where i seen it and i have searched and searched but can't find it anywhere.I thought i seen where you could buy new seat brackets. my old one's are in pretty bad shape.

Are you going to give up the color? that is real close to what we are looking for. thanks for the help.

Let me just say buy the best car you can.They are all right look hard for the rust. That is a road you don't want to go down. Take your time keep looking. don't do what i did and go cheep thinking you can fix it up you could end up with a money pit. and i would think about having it shipped. you will be money ahead in the long run.

I took my old one to my local radiator shop cleaned it up and fixed the leak 20.00

Has anyone tried to put the carbon fiber bumpers for a 240 on a 280 that MSA sells? I would think it would about the same. just checking to see if anyone has thought of this.

Ok i checked all the post i could on this before i started. and did just as they said. first the grease seal was hard to get all the way in. when i put the hub on i tightened the nut down a little to help seat the grease seal then backed it off a little. took the hub back off looks good now put it back on but it is not smooth if i snug it down and if i back it off there is some play. it is not right. do i need to get it real tight to seat the bearing then back it off? i don't want to over tighten it.

Ok thanks. yes i have removed the 4 bolts and soaked it with PB and Beat the **** out of it. By chance does any one have a set of hubs laying around.

I am doing a front brake job on my 76 280. New rotors and two piston calipers.and i can not get the hubs off of the old rotors. any tips would be great.

Talked to him a few weeks back he wanted me to send him money said he would get one right out to me. did not do it thank god.maybe he is just busy but he made it sound like he could get it right out.

Would it run if they were switched?

Ok that's right why did i not think of that so dumb.Thanks

Ok still working on our 76. What if the water temp. sensor and the thermal time switch are hooked up wrong? What I mean is if they are switched. I replaced the Temp sensor and I think the wire running to it has the red tape on it. And i think it should be the other way. with that wire going to the Thermal Time Switch. What it still will do is run ok until it gets real warm then stumble at 3000 RPM.

What about the seat mounts? Do you just mark where they are and cut them out then weld them back in? My frame rails are not bad not sure how this will work.not sure i need to cut this all out.

Ok the Z ran better tonight then it ever had.cleaned the TPS and set it not sure it was off that much but the connection was bad. Fuel pressure with key on it runs up to 40 psi then on start up drops back to 31 to 32. After it sets for some time one hour or less It drops to nothing or 0. Not sure what it is while driving will have to take the hood off to check that.I have a lot more power but if I try to run it up around 3700 it starts to run bad again.I am getting there. Thanks to all of you.

Wow now i only have about five thing's to check. you people have been great help. I will check the TPS and fuel pressure tonight. As soon as i turn the key on i can here the fuel pump and it will run until i start the car seams like the pressure will not stay up. but the fuel pressure check should let me know. i built my own gauge not sure if it will work but it should.Thanks again

Ok so i checked and replaced all of my vacuum lines and it idles a lot better.All of the injector connector's are missing the little wire clip's so this tell's me that someone has missed with them i did clean them as best as i could.When i first start it up it run's ok and i mean just ok but once it get's warmed up it, it has no power past 3000 RPM's it falls on it's face. I hate to do it but i think i will replace the injector's and connector's.I also think i might check the water temp sensor.I did clean it's connection. Thanks for all your help

No i am not going to quit. And no this is not my only car it is going to be my son's first car we are fixing it up together.I was almost there and now you have helped me along. So are the Ebay injectors ok or should i spend more and get better one's. Anyone have the MSA injector's are they worth the money.I was looking at the wire harness from Nissan. Any information would be great. thanks

never mind not smart enough for this. sorry to have wasted your time. thanks anyway

So sorry for the post before. i was not thinking right.on the list of things you need to know.it never did run right or for very long.i did not change all of the fuel lines. i did replace all of the hoses and blow the lines out. i am working on the vacuum hoses.this has been a real project but i am working through it. as to the injectors can they be cleaned or is it better to just replace them? i will check my fuel pressure tonight.the car is original as best as i can tell.sorry once again and thanks for the help.

Give me a break i came because you people are the best 35 read it and no one has any information help me please
