whats the condition and does it run? because that makes a huge difference.
When setting the timing on a 1976 Datsun 280Z, the camshaft should be aligned to the correct position, which typically means ensuring that the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft are aligned. The number one cylinder should be at top dead center (TDC) on its compression stroke. This alignment ensures that the ignition timing can be accurately set for optimal engine performance. Always refer to the specific service manual for detailed procedures and specifications.
The fuel pump is located next to the tank behind the right rear tire.
