There are no microswitches in the ECU.

Perfect.

And this is an example of why you're the one and only Hoover. Well done!! I don't want to know how you dredged up that document, but well done!

You need information in order to form that belief. Get your info from a source at the top of the curve, not down in the fake news weeds on the sides. Here's the top tier:

@Mike

1 and 10 are for the glovebox. 1 is part of the latch mechanism, and 10 is the light for inside when you open the door. 2 is (I believe) the brackets the hold up the center of the dash. One end screws to the trans tunnel and the other end screws to the underside of the dash. 3 is the radio support bracket. Not sure about 4 and 5. 6 is a bracket that holds the center dash panel (with the two HVAC outlets and your FUEL light) in place. There should be a second one that is a mirror image. 7 is a bracket for your coil wire. 9 is one of the vacuum lines that run to your power brake booster. 11 is your roof mounted dome light. Missing the white lens. it's probably turned to dust. Not sure about 12. Obviously a vacuum hose, but not sure which one offhand. 13 is one of the clips that holds your shifter boot in place on the underside of the console. Not sure about 14 and 15 Not positive on 16, but I think it's a window roller. Should be inside one of the doors maybe? 18 is your FICD. Fast Idle Control Device. It pulls the throttle open a little bit when you turn on the A/C

So what were you doing the following Monday afternoon/evening after zcon? I was up in denver on that day in your neck of the woods for a couple days after the show. Were you doing anything interesting that afternoon? I'm still trying to figure out if I met a Seyler at Zcon or in the days following.

That's awesome! Glad to hear it's all working so well!

Hahaha!!!!

LOL. Well I hope I didn't come off as pushy, but I think it's the right thing to do. Haha! As for that big arse vacuum bottle... I didn't like it either, so I modified all my climate control stuff (except the cable driven heater core valve) over to little electrical servo motors. I think I posted some pics of that somewhere sometime. If you can't find anything, let me know and I'll see what I can dig up.

I haven't dusted off my compression ratio calculator for a few months, but if you want me to double check the numbers, just say the word. Just remember that I'm just a guy with a keyboard and an internet connection.

Looks great! You think you're gonna need help get it running?

Well honestly, I'd put in a relay anyway even if you find a switch "rated" to 10A. Why? First because switch ratings are usually lots of garbled confusing corner cases that rarely reflect the real world conditions under which they're used, and second, If installed using a socket, a burned up relay is a lot easier to replace than a burned up switch. And probably cheaper too. You're making a harness from scratch? I'd just cover my bases and wire in a relay between the switch and the starter solenoid. 10A DC is not something to be trifled with in the switch world. It burns up contacts. And if you're using it to power an inductive load, it burns up contacts even betterer.

I have measured the current into the starter solenoid in the past, and while I can't find my notes, I believe it was approaching 10 Amps. Seven or eight maybe? I do know that it's enough to eventually burn up the insides of the ignition switch: So if you're planning to use a push-button non-stock starter button, you could use something beefy and maybe get away without a relay. But if you're planning to use the stock ignition switch, I would suggest a relay to cut down on the current to the switch. I think it's mistake that Datsun didn't do that from the start and if you're already making changes to harnesses and stuff, it would be the perfect time.

For the people who say stuff like "Flu kills hundreds of thousands every year, covid will be just one of them", I took a quick look for some covid/flu comparisons for the US.* From >> https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/faq-flu-season-2020-2021.htm Flu activity was unusually low throughout the 2020-2021 flu season both in the United States and globally, despite high levels of testing. The low level of flu activity during this past season contributed to dramatically fewer flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths compared with previous flu seasons. And from >> https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weeklyarchives2020-2021/week10.htm here it is in graphical format: When comparing the data, I get two quick takeaways. First... There were very few flu cases or deaths in the 20-21 season, and in fact, there were so few that they aren't even recognizable on the chart when compared with previous years. And second (and even more important)... The data shows a clear discrediting of the belief that "covid is just another flu". Why is that so clear? Because in 2020 and 2021, many people adjusted their lifestyle in an attempt to not get covid. Those lifestyle modifications included such things like social distancing, wearing masks, remote work and learning, etc. And a welcome side benefit of those covid mitigation techniques is that they practically eliminated the flu in 20-21. (cite the same source as above for details) But those lifestyle changes clearly didn't eliminate covid. Despite those mitigation efforts we unfortunately STILL gave up over 600000 people to covid. We didn't give up many at all to the flu, but IN SPITE of all of those lifestyle changes we unfortunately gave up a whole bunch to covid. So the data clearly shows that covid is way worse than just another flu. It's way worse. Not only have we lost more people to covid (in just one year), than the past TEN years of the flu combined, but the techniques employed to slow the spread of covid were pretty much crushed the spread of flu, but were not nearly as effective against covid. Why? Well it's certainly not because covid is just another flu. And when people compare covid and the flu like this: "Flu kills hundreds of thousands every year, covid will be just one of them." They are downplaying the severity of the pandemic. I'm hoping that downplay isn't intentional. I'm thinking they just haven't seen the data. *Sorry @DC871F, I didn't get any source citations for your numbers, so I can't work with them.

Interestingly enough, I packed so much stuff to do in Colorado that there wasn't much time left to develop a haze. I think I made it to just two brewpubs the entire time I spent there. Something had to give. Haha!!

@DC871F Could you please cite your sources for the info above? I'd like to review the data.

I didn't go to the invade denver event, but I was at the show on Sat as well. I was asking if you were at the show because I met a guy named Seyler* during my whirlwind trip to Denver/Co. Springs, but I don't remember where. I can't remember if it was at the show on Saturday, or up in Denver on Monday maybe. *although I thought it was spelled "Sailor".

@DC871FCould you please cite your sources for the info above? I'd like to review the data. The reason I'm questioning is that Zed Head's numbers (cited with links from the CDC) do not support your claim and I'm wondering if it's a math mistake or what. According to the estimates cited by ZH, there were a TOTAL of 209 thousand who died in the US from the flu IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, while there were about 500 thousand who died from covid IN JUST LAST YEAR. When I look at that data, my takeaway is "in just 2020 alone, over twice as many people died in the US from covid than the last combined TEN years of the flu." That's what the numbers look like to me. I'm not sure I'm looking at it right... Am I misinterpreting the CDC's numbers?

@DC871F I believe I can usually figure out what people are trying to say when they post stuff, but in this case, I'm sorry but I'm at a loss. What does traffic death statistics have to do with covid? Why are you posting that?

Your diagram looks great. Gave my brain a twist with things in different locations than the original diagrams, but who am I to stand in the way of progress. Are you creating a new diagram because it's going to be different than stock (with things like relays where there originally weren't any)? My go-to diagram for all things Z electrical related is the fantastic color wiring diagram* created by @wal280z. WAL's diagram is for the stock system and I'm guessing yours will be for non-stock? *Yes, it's 77-centric, but I start there first to get my bearings regardless of the year.

LOL. As it should be.

Welcome aboard! Were you at Zcon two weeks ago in Co. Springs?

I added the wire colors to the sketch SteveJ mentioned.

@Pilgrim Next time we need to figure out a way to get more of the forum guys together. If for nothing else, just to put a face with a name!
