If you're not spot on with your cuts, which is virtually impossible to do, you'll never be able to get it properly aligned.

That spring sounds like one of those they used to sell 'back in the day' to prevent gas siphoning. They were supposed to wedge in the filler neck but maybe that one was too small and it slipped through. Did one end of it taper so that a hose wouldn't go through it?

Seems to me that with the correct parts available, why would you want to attempt to modify the ZX stuff to fit?

juan240z is now our top poster with the same 4,294,967,295 posts. But he only averages 5,394,388.50 posts per day.....

Once it's bent will it match up with the push rod on the clutch master cyl.?

The need for a wiper motor upgrade is really more of an early S30 problem. The wipers were actually pretty good by the time the 280Z came out. Are you having problems with your wipers? The only maintainence I ever did on my78's wipers was to clean a lube everything when I bought it and they were trouble free for the 12+ years I owned that car after that.

ZohanIsBack, does your 260Z presently have an automatic trans? Your other posts led me to believe that is was a stick and you just wanted to go from a 4 speed to a 5 speed. If your car is presently an automatic, you have a lot more parts to get and a lot more work ahead of you than you realize.

TomoHawk, I understand what the OP, hogie, and everyone else in this thread is discussing and trying to accomplish but you probably need to start your own thread since your questions don't involve a 240Z, a Honda wiper motor or the upgrade relay setup. Just sayin'.............

Isn't that what page BE-65 in the 78 FSM shows?

Why would you need to swap the pedals? Don't you have the pedals for your 260Z?

Active? Note that my posts are spread out over 8+ years. pczbh appears to be a real memeber with no posts. Something went haywire!!!

I remember that because I did the Turbo/2+2 clutch mod to my 280Z and my 810.

If that's the case wouldn't you want the 9 1/2" clutch since 240mm=roughly 9 1/2"?

Blue, that link show an E12-80 setup so it wouldn't apply to a 76......

Got to love Harbor Frieght! (for some things) I bought this small press from them a few years ago and use it for u joints as well as a lot of other stuff.

I changed the heater core on my 78 w/o removing the dash. Not easy but it can be done.

Here's a continuity test chart for the back of the switch that I made up a few years ago:

That's likely for the same type of adapter that was in the 810/RWD Maxima on the L24E engines. Not sure about the ZX's but it appears to have been done for clearance on the 810. I points the filter upwards an toward the front of the car. Can't see the adapter in this picture but you can see how the filter angles up between the vacuum cannister and the windshield washer bottle insted of straight out of the block.

That's what they claimed it did 'back in the day'.

If the plate he pictured is from the distributor in question, and I assume it is, it's a 240Z. (That and he did say 'points style') The ones for a 260Z/280Z are somewhat 'V' shaped.

I'm not sure which of your answers was the least useful.......

Nope. That's a distributor mount plate. The breaker plate is inside the distributor where the points mount. Doubt that MSA would have one. That part shows as 'not for sale' in the parts microfiche. Your best bet might be that one of the members here has one.

The things that previous owners do......try a heat gun (very carefully!!). I've had some success removing old adhesives with moderate heat and gentle pressure.

Well, I guess we've gone way past assessment and conjecturing now.........
