I've attached a word doc you might get a kick out of if you've dealt with Lucas Electrics on British cars. A TREATISE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF SMOKE BY JOSEPH LUCAS.doc

You will find it right after you order the replacement. At least that's how things work for me.

Questions... Does the Ziebart add weight? Does it add any soundproofing to the car? How are you going to address the holes? Curious minds need to know.

I went with the Rota RB's (I think they're patterned after the old Minilite's) and the center caps fit fine without flattening the grease caps. I got them here, they may have two different height center caps. These are 15x7 4 offset and I run 205/60 R15 tires with no scrub at all in my stock fenders and wheel wells. Very close to stock tire height so the speedo, according to those radar things that get set up on local streets telling you your speed, matches what the radar says.

A caution to be aware of... My car had the dealer A/C with the York compressor mounted on the drivers (left) side above the air pump. I had also installed a Champion 3 row aluminum radiator and the dual electric fans from MSA. The fans on the provided shroud won't fit with the old York mounted where it was. I bought this compressor upgrade kit for my 240Z that mounts where my deleted air pump was and it fits just fine along with having the Sanden compressor upgrade.

I kind of like the effect of the white bulbs in the center gauge and tach. Are either dim-able? And lastly, why is your car upside down? ?

What it does mean is you're not the only old fart in these forums! ?

My Dec 1970 car has the E31 head.

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
