On the 74 260Z, there was a neutral switch at the transmission as part of the seat belt interlock (See page BE-91 of the Body Electrical section.). There wasn't a neutral switch present in a 4 speed from 72 according to the wiring diagram and the TM section of the service manual.

Okay, I'll bite. Why are you looking for an automatic transmission part for a manual transmission car? Look at Post #9. BE Body Electrical BE-6.pdf

Thank you, Guy. It is the same car. I've put some sweat equity into it over the last few years. I think the 240Z bumpers help it out a lot! Those are the stainless steel bumpers from Vietnam.

In addition to the relay, an inertia switch would be a very good idea to kill fuel pump power in case of an accident.

I took my 260Z out to ZNationals Track Day at Road Atlanta today. While I didn't participate in the HPDE laps, I did go on the Parade Laps. I also took lots of photos. Wendy also had her turn with the camera during the Parade Laps. Here a video of one of the Parade Laps.

Meanwhile, the UPS guy is thinking, "Why on EARTH is this guy wanting to take a picture of me?"

I received my last order from Black Dragon yesterday. I ordered two sets of door handles. I guess I'll have to make my schedule to install most of the parts I bought.

You can get ECU and TPS as part of the kit.

The website only lists 3 screw and flat tops...and I have 4 screw carbs on both of mine.

It's sad to see that the owner let the car rot away like that.

Two questions: 1. Did you remember to get the 280ZX distributor mount? 2. Did you look at Hybridz.org for wiring instructions? That is one of the better sites for modifications like that.

Pete Thomas (@thomas461) posted a video he made of the Atlanta Concours d'Elegance. You might be interested in the car that shows up 39 seconds in.

We'll have to keep an eye out here: https://www.velocitychannelgo.com/whats-my-car-worth/ It looks like they are a couple of months behind the "on air" version.

Yes, I did. Shipping info on my second order was sent to the carrier today. I expect to see it next week.

Well, I received the 1st of two orders today. I think that's about the fastest I ever received anything from them. I was disappointed that the 260Z taillight gaskets I purchased were from two different vendors and were different thicknesses and don't line up with each other.

Well, $380 for a set is well under the $1000 I paid for stainless steel bumpers about 3 years ago.

About as soon as I saw the notice, I grabbed my wallet and went through the whole catalog.

I just saw the email, too. Damn.

That is definitely a possibility. The yellow wire comes off the alternator and is spliced to go to the voltage regulator and to connector C-7 under the dash. From C-7, the yellow wire goes to Electric Fuel Pump Cut Relay #1. Conspicuously absent from this circuit is a fuse. The relays are below the dash on the passenger side near the fuse box. You can find out more about the circuit in the FSM section EF.

Your front carb was too lean as told by the spark plugs in that photo. If you got the rear to match, both carbs are too lean.

The wiring is completely different. It is documented in the FSM.

That won't work. The motor has to be running, too, as the power for the fuel pump comes off of the alternator.

October 14 & 15. Friday is track day at Road Atlanta. I'm going there to hang out & take photos. Saturday is the car show at Coolray Field in Gwinnett. That's the parking lot for the Triple-A Braves affiliate. Send me a PM if you plan on coming up.

When I drained my tank a few months back and replaced rotten fuel lines, I did not have any trouble pulling fuel through it, but the line to the mechanical pump wasn't pulled. You might try priming the fuel rail and the line going up to the mechanical pump. The electric pump doesn't run unless the key is in the ON position. It doesn't get power when cranking the engine.

I think @Zup and @S30Driver may live in Northwest Arkansas. That's a lot closer to you than most of us.
