Hey all
Just got my tank back from the radiator shop, fixed the dying problem ( they boiled, cut out the internal "strainer", and sealed); Tranny is on it's way south though;
I just bought a...
Isn't the tank to pump hose 1/2" I had a 1/2 inch adapter for the
G3 and had a hard time getting it on, so it must be 1/2 inch or 7/16; But the vapor lines are 5/8"?
I thought it only needed to...
What is the capacity of a 76 280z gas tank? ie: how much gas is in the tank, so I can buy jugs for it?? I tried running it but it dies so I can't take it out too far or fast.
Thanks for the...
My signals didn't work until I plugged in the hazard switch and changed the fuses. My car is the same as yours, 76 280z automatic (good choice!).
After I plugged the hazards in, they worked. Just...
Hey guys
Well upon inspection of the G3 filter I put in a week ago, with a new pump, and the noises/stalling of my 76 Z, I think the tank needs to be cleaned/sealed.
A local radiator shop will do...
Thanks Arne.
About the trans, that's kind of what I suspected. The donor was a car at U-pull-it, no way to test it out. Got it for $100 though, so a good gamble.
I can't decide if I want the auto...
Well guys I thought I had fixed my problems, but nope. Automatic trans is leaking BAD and shifting is erratic, along with clunking. I plan to swap the 79 ZX 5 speed I have.
is there any way to...
Do I need a dashpot for my 76 z if I swap from auto trans to manual? Or can I rig a spring on the throttle?
From what I've read, the dashpot does something with the throttle release,etc...
Thanks

There's the link to the pump; I...
Well I've pretty much ruled out getting the Airtex/Master pump since I've heard bad things about them.
The Bosch one is 275, a little too much for me.
The Delphi one is about 160, so it is a...
Just started driving my car, i love it, but am having problems;
76 280z auto trans. 180,000 miles.
DAY 1: drove car for 3-4 consecutive hours without incident. Car is quick.
DAY 2: after...
Has anyone ever gotten a ticket for no bumpers??
I guess it would be harder to get one with the rear finished as opposed to JUST removing it, leaving the holes...
Thanks yellowfever!
That antenna in the first shot is really tall!! Luckily it looks like it retracts;
Well I think I might remove the front for now, since I usually stop pretty far back in my...
If I remove the front and rear, or just the front bumper from my 76 Z, will there be a noticeable increase in gap in the wheel well between the tire and wheel well? ( will the car rise up without...
I had this trouble at the junkyard when removing handles. You have to use pliers on the platic clip and pull the rod out. Not really a trick, keep trying and you'll get it.
The only reason I am stuck on adjusting them is since I don't know when they were last adjusted, and they sound like a "sewing machine" when the car is running, is that an indicator, or is that...
Hey guys
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I've never adjusted valves before.
I read all the appropriate info and got the right tools (feeler gauge, crows feet wrench socket, 27mm socket, torque...
Well I have a pretty bad oil leak from between the engine and trans. It drips pretty constantly with the car running. I plan to do a Manual Trans swap when fixing the seal (can't have oil on the...
Whoa thats some good info seppi. That was PPG brand that was thin?? I thought they were like top of the line, thats the OE glass used in my 95 Camry!
Thanks
So is the whole windshield tinted, or just a strip at the top? If so, any guess on the VLT%? Is it noticably tinted, or just slightly?
Do you think $150 for the glass only is a fair price??
Hey all
My windshield has a big crack, well its not really a crack but a big circle like from a bat or bottle, etc...
Bottom line is I will need a windshield soon.
Anyone used the shaded one...
Hello all
I just got a nice set of 280z tail lights off ebay, they look real good but one of the screws on the back broke in half when i was trying to get the rusted nut off of it. I think the nut...
yeah its supposed to be a direct replacement for the 280z; so this means that the chrome bezel attatches to the light, no the panel?? Either way as long as it separates i can use that CF piece, if...
alright this is the part i want to use, you see it has no trim piece, just open for the light;...
