Eastwood has a 3 step paint system that does a pretty fair job of duplicating a cadmium finish (http://www.eastwood.com/jump.jsp?itemID=728&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C389%2C390%2C397&KickerID=126&KICKER). I used it on my brake/fuel lines, and also a few miscellaneous bits under the hood. Not perfect, but a lot cheaper than cadmium plating, and gives a good look. -
Have you tried spraying a little contact cleaner on it? If you spray it a bit at a time around the perimeter of the switch it should seep down inside and hopefully help loosen things up.
-
Have you tried another set of injectors? Doesn't seem likely that all 6 would go bad at once, but maybe they are stuck open?

The only place I've found them is in the salvage yard.

I think that you will probably want to put the bump stops on. Before I rebuilt the suspension on my '73, the bump stops were missing. Either they deteriorated, or they were removed during a previous strut change before I bought the car. Anyway, any bump I hit darn near rattled the teeth out of my head. Of course, the struts were bad, too, but it felt like they were bottoming out on bumps. None of that any more, though! The suspension rebuild made a world of difference for my Z!

As far as my band goes, we're no good. But, we have a lot of fun, and for some reason people seem to like us... Hey Zguitar71, my wife and I are planning to take a trip through Montana next summer, she's from Great Falls. -
Have you adjusted the chokes? How about the idle screw on each SU, is either one (or both) turned in too much and causing the high idle? With the choke lever pulled back, the fuel nozzle should be pulled down from the bottom of the carb by about 1/4 inch. The fuel nozzle is the part mounted in the bottom of the main carb body and is connected to the float bowl with a small fuel hose. When the choke lever is pushed forward, the nozzle should be pulled up against the adjustment collar on the bottom of the carb. Is either one of the nozzles sticking, and not being pulled back up against the adjustment collar? With the engine off and the air filter box removed, you might have a helper operate the choke lever in the car while you watch the action on the carbs to insure the nozzles are moving properly. And as 240kman said, check the linkage to make sure nothing is binding and causing the high idle.

When I'm not working on my Z, I'm making people's ears hurt rockin' with my band, Cat Jerky (www.catjerky.net).

Hi Carl, (dat240z71), Here are some pics of my car, taken outside in the sun. I used PPG's Omni AU acrylic urethane paint, consisting of an orange basecoat covered with a clear coat. Here's the paint code and tinting guide that was on the can: MBC 69982 B Orange Tinting guide: M130 975.9 Orange M114 710.7 Yellow M120 82.2 White M118 45.6 Black M150 1815.0 Basemake Please let me know if you have any questions.

It sure is one very sharp looking Z car! Some of those pics might be helpful for 280Z owners looking to freshen up or restore their cars to original condition.
