So ive sold the Toyota Celica and the Porsche but needed another Zed I have now taken delivery of a very clean shell, one USA owner fron new 280Z to work on.
I have attached a few pictures including the 1977 highway flares that were in the tool box ! Just a couple of questions if any one can give advice with.
1 I noticed the floor heat sensor in the boot that i have circled in red after doing some reaserch i found out that Calaforina cars had them because of emmissions and the cat in the rear box got hot and caused the sensor to light up on the dash. I did notice driving the car only say 2 miles the back box was kicking out a lot of heat. If i remove the exhaust and fit it with a new one without the cat will this be ok and do i need to change any thing ?
2 The EFI has been removed by the previous owner and round top carbs added although it starts on the button the coil pack looks like it has seen better days can this be replaced just as the coil or would i need the whole pack ? and does there look like any thing out of place or missing on the engine ?
no doubt i will be posting a few more questions as i go on thanks in advance
