I just bought this car last week. IT is a '73 240z with 30k original miles on it. All stock except for radio. (anyone have a stock one for sale?) runs great! No cracks or blemishes on dash looks almost new in throughout. It feels great to back in a real car again! -Dale-

My first '73 240Z had a similar problem that came up soon after a tune up. It turned out to be a faulty spark plug! I would change that one plug out if you haven't already. also have you checked the valve adjustments? -Dale-

Steve, Hey! I lived in Woodland for 10 years! We moved over here a couple of years ago and I had been looking for a good Z since then. I got this one just last week. IT runs very strong but I need to find out why it stumbles so much. Along that line I am trying to eliminate things systematically.. The Carbs are the Late model Hitachi's ( Flat top). I had a '73 while I lived in Woodland and I don't remember ever having this problem with the filter or the two large holes in the cover. These holes look like they came in the cover. No evidence of hacking. -Dale-

I have an original '73 240z with 30k original miles. It is in excellent shape, no dash, cracks alloriginal hoses under hood etc. I am in the middle of a tune up and had some questions about the air cleaner. My air cleaner has two holes, @ 1" in dia, in the curved end of the cover that look like something attatched to it at one time. What are these for? Also someone installed a K&N air filter but it appears too thick. The cover won't seat against the back plate when installed with this filter. I picked a replacement filter at my local shop and it too was too wide. is it possible that I have an air cleaner from a 260? the prod date on my car is 2/73. any ideas wouild be appreciated.

Though it's been a while since I had my first 240Z. I believe it has two fuel pumps on it already. One next to the fuel tank on the passenger side is electric and the one on the passenger side in the front on the timing cover is mechanical. Disconnect the fuel line coming out of the electric pump and check the pressure there first. If that seems ok then check the mechanical pump up front. First though, make sure the fuel filter is not clogged. Good luck!

I just got a prestine '73 240Z and the fuse to the brake lights just melted a hole in the fuse box!! What did I do to cause this?!! Has anyone else had this happen? I remember this same thing happening to my fathers '73 Z. Please Help!
