Thanks Alan, much appreciated. I find it fascinating that they were using injection on some cars back then. Can you share anything about the difference between LR and LY motors? I have heard of LY but the LR is new terminology to me. Thanks, Chris

Alan, can you provide a brief synopsis of the mechanicals any of these cars. I appreciate all the pictures posted in this thread. Great cars!! Great info! Thanks, Chris

If you can isolate the power wires going directly to the pump. Disconnect it and insert a 12 volt test bulb in its place. Turn on the key and see if the bulb lights. If it does then you know its the pump. If it doesnt light then you know you have electrical issues. Much luck, Chris

Hi Chris, I have to admit there's something fascinating about your pictures. I think its because I know another one is being saved!! Its quite soothing to see that fresh clean metal!! Continued good luck with her!! Chris A

Toad with wheels!! Chris

Had to reply to this part. One summer while fiddling with the wiring up under the glove box I noticed this wiring. When I determined what it was I mounted some custom LED units on the kick panels that aim the bright white light down into the footwell. I must say it was a nice surprise and it sure makes an improvement to a black interior on a dark night. Thanks E!! Chris

Sadly the answer is NO!! http://classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13753&highlight=Midwest Chris

My bad, I should have stated mine were a HID look-a-like earlier. Chris

Hi Ron, can you tell me what booster you went with? For my future reference. Thanks, Chris

Hey All, here's a link to exactly what I put in the 72 that Bill Ramsey has now. http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=23781&langId=-1 They are 65/55 watt bulbs. I wanted to get some Sylvania SilverStar's I think they were called. They are more of the HID lookalike than the bulbs I ended up using. The SilverStars were like $35 a piece and I didnt want to spend that much on the car. I ended up going with a Sylvania 9007LL bulb which has good brightness. Coupled with the reflector system in the 7" housing, they really were brighter than the stock H6024 Sylvania sealed beams that were in the car. Hope that helps. Chris

Your car has the composite housings with the 9007 bulbs. They need to be adjusted. I never did. They are brighter than what was in the car before. If I recall, I had them pointed down to low which might explain your problem. The front end on that car is tweaked upwards anyway. Plus I never really drove that car at night. Get your Dad to sit in the car then adjust them up a little. Chris

Greg, yes, big difference. I was running 9007's though not H4's. Chris

Ben, I would say you'd need something somewhat resistant to moisture as the rain will get down in there. Unless you dont drive it in the rain!! I wonder if a good lithium base grease would work. Maybe Lubriplate #105. Supposed to be good for hinges, locks and latches. And has anti-wear and anti-seize compounds. And I would guess if its good for hinges it must not run off or slide off the contact point. Good luck with the project, Chris

Mike brings up a very important issue with the headlights. A couple years ago I bought this harness pre-made by Painless Wiring. Plug's in, no cutting. Made the stock headlights brighter and allowed me to switch to composite housings with 9007 bulbs. Which are a kind of HID look a like system. http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcatalog/catlarge/30815.jpg Chris

That's a good point, not that it would matter to me if I needed one but my stock antenna tip is bullet shaped. I wonder if the ebay item is a supersession of the factory part? Were there differences between the years? Thanks Ben for the link to that. Chris

VERY nice job Ben!! Chris

Carl, try this one. http://www.lindsaybks.com/dgjp/djgbk/babbitt/ Chris

Me thinks Tom is testing someone!! Chris

Okay, I'm no tranny expert but he said he changed the clutch and pressure plate "since this problem started". Could he have a clutch related problem which is causing the hard shifting? Not getting enough release which is causing some kind of drag. I dont believe it would be fluid related. FWIW, Chris

Good news Bill. So now you have a $270 Z car. Chris

Thanks Will, I was hoping someone would notice!! It was a shame, the condition of that car when I bought it. At least when Bill got it, it was driveable! When I got it, it had no radiator and the motor was trashed. Chris

Does anybody know if the 710 was ever brought to the States? They seem bigger than a 610 in pictures. Chris

Welcome all you new members!! Glad to have you and your Z's here. Chris

Hi beams were on ehh??? Chris
