I've also been very happy with my Interior Innovation leather seat covers. I also did new foam from MSA.

However I don't think you'd find a 260Z that originally had 240Z bumpers or tail lights and I've never heard of a 240Z that had 260Z bumpers or tail lights.

I suspect that some of the changes were implemented prior to the S/N HLS30 21001 and HS30 00501 cars. My car is S/N HLS30 17486 and has the hooded map light. I am the 2nd owner, but I doubt it was changed by the original owner.

Not being familiar with the original 280Z wiring, but on a 240Z with the NLA Dave Irwin headlight wiring mod the ground is changed to a single ground for each headlight rather than the way Datsun originally did the wiring. The original 240Z wiring would not work with LED bulbs because the post normally used for ground was power and high/low beam was controlled by switching grounds. See this thread;

And you could have looked up Jalex and helped him with his ongoing carb float adjustment. ?

Isn't that the Ferrari 250 GTO Z Body kit?

I will say that I saw that coming. Wasn't sure from who because there's so many possibilities! ?

Here's mine mounted. I've also seen them mounted on the left side of the console about to the side of the lighter panel facing up.

It's the wife's truck...

I have no issues with the MSA 6 to 1 on my car.

A little OT, Interesting... If it's seat belt buzzer/light... When I bought my 73 new I figured I'd use it to train me to start using a seat belt. Worked! It's now automatic, I fasten my belt before any car I'm in goes in gear. As I recall from my 73 it only buzzes when in gear.

Don't know what I & W were for since I didn't need or use them.

In the picture you linked to the connections on the top of the matchbox are labeled C & B. The other 2 on the side are labeled I & W, leave those disconnected and the E12-92 will work just like the E12-80 which only has the C & B connections.

The E12-92 will work exactly like the E12-80 if you only use the C & B connections. I've been running the E12-92 module for years this way.

You can also use the ZX distributor with the E12-92 module. It works exactly the same as the E12-80 if you only use the C & B connections. I've been running the E12-92 module this way for years.

MSA ceramic coated headers did the job for me, followed up with 2.5" exhaust. badabing. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic19d/15-6012CH

From the movie "Cars", my birth year car was the Hudson Hornet. Very successfully campaigned in NASCAR in the early 50's!

My car is #17486 - Mfg Date 12/70 so I believe the May 70 in the fiche is in error and should really be Dec 70.

After seeing the green one go for $310K this looks like a steal!

Carl Beck has a registry, I don't know of any better registry for Z's http://www.zhome.com/

Now that it's over it shows $215,000 as the price?? I watched it run up to $310,000, what happened?

One place you could try is the ZCar club of Colorado, they may be able to help you. http://www.zccc.org/

Stuff like this is what drives the "Series 1" - "Series 2", blah blah discussions. Before 1973 EPA and safety requirements didn't dictate year model changes. Then in the USA for sure 73 and later cars were strictly driven by EPA and safety requirements. You will not see a factory 73 240z with original roundtop carbs or no 2.5 MPH front bumper followed in 74 with the 260z with additional EPA and safety changes.

One odd thing I notice in this picture is it appears that the end of the return line is enlarged for maybe 1/2 inch or so. Is there a possibility that there's a one way valve in there so the fuel can only exit? I haven't seen a 73 this close for almost 30 years so I'm just guessing. I don't recall my series 1 car having that enlarged end when I had the line off it a couple of years ago.
