Just inherited this 1978 Datsun 280Z 2+2. It is an automatic, pretty good engine, transmission and rear diff. Doesn't leak or smoke, starts everytime and shifts smooth.

I replaced the front pads and rotors, and will be replacing the rear drums and pads soon.

What is the most common cause for the front camber to be off, and what is a common fix?

The tach used to work, then started working intermittantly, now it doesn't work at all. Any suggestions for a fix for that?

Thanks for all your help, I will start doing some research on the site as well.
