Hi jeff this is necessary if you a running of an ecu and still want the original tacho but in your case it does not apply I have edited the post to include this above but some still do the tacho upgrade to suit the 280zx dizzy/240,260 tacho that depends on how you want your dizzy to perform the extra pc board mod gives the tacho smooth signal and therefore the needle is responding better if you do not want this performance then you leave the series induction coil in circuit with an added 2.2kOhm/1watt resistor soldered into the circuit to protect the tacho and try

Hi jeff as stated in rly240 post the series connection through the induction coil was the original method but if the tacho has had the 280zx mod then the internals of the tacho could have ad the extra mod by inserting a pc board which made the induction setup obsolete. this mod allows better response and only requirers the pulse from the module if that has been done cooections to the tacho is a positive ,negative and pulse with the series induction coil not connection and the wiring to it opened circuited therefore no return circuit to the dizzy was required cheers

Hi jeff I could not see the rubber bonnet blocks these protect the paint on the side of the bonnet and fenders and locate your bonnet when opening and closing and any movement when driving they attach to the side fender bolts there are four of them in total and there are some on eBay at the moment if you require them i think they might be a good investment cheers phil

Hi gav open the vise jaws about 10mm put the steel collet of the distributer on top of the vise jaws only while someone is holding onto th distributer or have something supporting the distributer casing using your pin punch bang the pin out the pin is probably bent as the collet and washer is too tight for the pin hole alignment file the back end of the steel collet a fraction near the casing reassemble and should free up the distributer drive i had a similar problem on mine after rebushing and assembly cheers phil

Sirpent did a article on repair of the valve look it up it might help cheers phil
