Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me.I've recently got my 74 260z started but whenever I turn the lights on the car just dies and I don't know where to start looking. If anyone can help me it was be much appreciated.

 

1. Make sure you have good grounds.
2. Go to the EE section and test your charging system. http://xenons30.com/files/FSM/1974%20260z%20FSM.zip
3. Get your battery load tested. It's probably bad.

 

thanks steve for the quick reply, I will try that this weekend.

 

On top of getting your battery checked get your alternator checked as well.
Good luck electrical issues get on my nerves!
