  1. Allan, I have a set of harnesses available, excellent condition. Jim
  2. Congrats, great looking ride, so much potential. We'll be looking forward to your progress reports.
  3. It looks like there was more than one cover picture for the 12/20/69 manual. These are the manuals that came with my 12/70 car, purchased 03/71. The car on the cover of the Owner's Manual is lighter and has a different stance.
  4. I tried this upgrade years ago and while I did not have the problems you are seeing I did have one issue: my ammeter was non-responsive/dead! I reversed course and opted for a reman 60A Hitachi externally regulated alternator and new voltage regulator from Rockauto. All is well.
  5. This is the right side showing a round hole, another one down low. These are tha same on the left side with the hose. This is my OE radiator frame.
  6. Yep, two circular clips to secure the overflow hose. One about 1 1/2" below the top tank, one about 1" above the bottom tank.
  7. Refurbished 240Z license light. Disassembled, cleaned, refinished in the original factory grey, fittings and internal diffusers replated in clear zinc, new screws and nuts for the clamshell, new gasket, perfect lenses, new white LED's. Tested and ready to install. $150 includes standard domestic shipping. Payment via PayPal or Venmo. PM if interested, thanks.
  8. Depending in the condition of your tanks, there's nothing wrong with having your radiator re-cored. Then too, its all about the skills of the shop doing the work. My OE two-row became troublesome after just a few years of ownership and after several repairs I had it re-cored to a three-row. Still running it today with not a single repair and it holds up well to Texas heat.
  9. This site has an extensive database of auto manufacturer paint codes and their corresponding paint manufacturer codes. These are the codes that auto paint supply stores can use to look up the formulas for accurate paint mixes. https://paintref.com/index.shtml Example - here are the Nissan paint codes for 1970 Datsuns: https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=1970&con=y&make=Datsun&rows=50
  10. Your Nissan paint code 214 was used from 1974 through 1978. Here are the manufacturer paint codes. Take this info to an automotive paint store and ask them to check their computer to see if they have the formula on file. Some paint stores can make up a rattle can while liquid paint may only be available in a quart size or larger (big $$$). As an alternative, contact a touchup supplier like this one to see if they can match your color. Touchup pint is usually available in small brush on quantitites. https://www.automotivetouchup.com/
  11. Jeff, I am running my OE 4-screws, here are the locations of the return spring connections (yellow pencil): Front carb . Rear carb

  13. Nothing is so sweet as the Symphony In Straight Six!
  14. Here's the MSA premium exhaust kit as of 15 years ago, a very nice bolt-up to the MSA 6-1 header. Sorry, no pic of the resonator install but it is welded in about 12" behind the flange connecting the exhaust pipe to the header. I installed the complete exhaust system, easy peasy! Every shop that has seen the underside is impressed with how easy it is to work with. Here's a pic of the pipe near the diff and suspension.
  15. @darom Here is the back half of a video. I live in an urban area, sadly no cool twisty roads to enjoy. This run is on a nearby toll road. My old GoPro has a port for an external mic, I attached it to the bumper just above the exhaust outlet. When I passed the semi and the RV I was running about 80 mph, 4,000 RPM. The sound is quite livable in the cabin. 50th Anniv. Clip.mp4
