Here is the VTO wheel that BRE sells. VTO sells a gray spoked wheel also and some smaller sizes. Mine are 15”

Ed i apologize but let try to clarify what I think you are doing: Please let me know where I am wrong. The wire harness from the defroster glass is fro a 70-71 build date correct? The dash harness is from a 70-71 build date also correct? The center console fuse cover is from a 72 build date car. correct? Does it look like this? Does the switch look like this If the above is correct here is the connector to look for here's where it should be a wider shot Or can you send a photo of you forward photos? 72 fuse cover front.html

No Nope I don’t think you are wrong. It’s probably me. But the there is the old series1 2 3 or 4 what, when , this that etc...besides you know I only pretend to know anything about the early build date cars build between 69 and 72. They fit in my old brain. if the pic you show of the fuse cover is a “series 2” the my moneys on you heres my diagram above Edit added my Jul 71 did not have those relays but my Aug 72 might have and they are sitting in box somewhere in storage.

I must have missed something here. I think he said he has a 71 series 1??? For me that means he has a rocker switch mounted in the console behind the choke plate and it has a black color rocker. The 71 series 2??? is basically the same except the rocker color is yellow and lite. Both are wired the same. No relays. the a switch (Series 2) has three wires B, R and GR and connects to plug with Blue (L), a RB, and a B. the L comes from the dash and has a fuse holder, RB & B go the rear hatch harness then connect to the hatch glass. Did I miss something? Wouldn't be the first time. Here is what thinks is a Series 2 defroster switch. If he has power to both sides of the switch in the on position and power at the glass and good ground then my guess is there is a break in the heat element.

Did you disconnect the choke cable?

Is that butterfly gap about what the full choke position opens them to? doesnt full choke drop the nozzle and open the butterfly?

That choke cable doesn’t look right here’s mine like right7 Is your nozzle all the way up

Make sure you check the bushing fits on the transmission before putting it in the crank.

More thoughts. Are the butterfly’s closed all the way?

We hen you say “starve” how are you doing that. so tell us what you did. Ie.. just replaced the carb, new spacer seals. What linkage did you unhook.? Big vacuum leaks will cause increased idle but not 4000 rpm try disconnection the throttle linkage from the carbs and see if will start

I think the later 73 went to a three wire connector to the tach.

@grannyknot were you running a stock distributor and ignition system? The earlier Z wire diagram would indicate that with the ignition key is in the run position there would be no power to the POS side of the coil. After market ignitions like Pertonix might change that. Just a thought.

Interesting problem. Maybe we should get more information? which car do you have? Stock? where did you get the carbs? Did it run well before? I’ll assume not if you are upgrading the carbs. Basically what’s the history of the car?

Checkout the “Bird” in front of me, it’s an original survivor and his second car is a GTR. Then look for the red 570 Ferrari at the end. Yesterday she was driving her other car. A Mclaren. to much fun for a charity driv IMG_0191.MOV IMG_0191.MOV

My 71 came with Weber’s when I bought it. It always smelled bad and loaded up all the time. The intake manifolds were part of the problem letting fuel build up in the manifold. I finally bought a set of ZTherapy SUs and have never regretted it. I remember hearing that the Weber’s were put on by shops to solve the tuning problem. Band aid solution.

I do. Send me a photo and I will send you one to try. dpappe@gmail.com

@Zed head when I’m is locked the button goes down but doesn’t move the latch.

Are those stock colors for exterior and interior. I love it.

Gary i assume it is unlocked now. So does the key fit into the key hole? Will it turn? on my 71 vertical is locked, horizontal is un locked. If it won’t turn then the issue is with the lock mechanism and you need to re key it. I think? They can match it to your current key. locked unlocked

Here is the Seattle market shop time is a minimum of 120 to 150 hr and that includes research for parts etc.

You are right just one part number???

I have been searching for a 70 - 71 radio faceplate for 3+ years with no luck. Lots of broken ones. I found someone to do a 3D print but the texture is off. PS isn't the Ashtray and the Fuse Box Cover the same thing?

@siteunseen can you share what your diff ratio is, the color of your speedo gear is and what size tires you are running?

I like it, look authentic for an early Z non back lit. But won’t pay that much to own it.
