yep MT90 for the transmission and 75W90 for the differential.

JSM is member Jeff in post #7. It could be like my '77. It has an N42 block, '75 thru '78 have them, and a replacement N42 cylinder head from a '75. The vented hood and the rear trim piece ZedHead mentioned are common markings for '77 and '78s. The door tag is a definite way to tell. They changed years in September so a 09/'76 would be a '77. That's what mine is.

Fastwoman used goodyear ez coils? Never seen those but you might google them and see. Good luck.

Here's where I got the idea. Instead of sweating copper fittings I used two 90 degree pex fittings with a small section of hose in between to make a 180 turn around. Used regular hose clamps, pex crimp rings won't work on rubber hose. Here's an informative thread with some good solutions, part numbers and many photos. You'll have to copy and paste. It didnt work as a hyper link. Edit #2. It works now. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17542-treating-insideoutside-of-gas-tank-with-por15-products-and-removing-evaporation-tank/

I used 3/4 PEX fittings on my 240's 5/8" 180 bends. 2 90 degree fittings worked good. O'Reilly is the only parts store around me that had that 5/8" fuel hose on hand. I'll try and find a picture when I get my laptop out in the morning.

I like my N42. I would get the N42 non EGR intake manifold that's bolted to it too. Get the the exhaust pipe cut right before the exhaust intake and pull all three off. '75 & '76 have square exhaust ports. Your '77 has round and the '75s N42 head is square. $200 N42 intake right here, https://us.letgo.com/en/i/nissan-datsun-240z-280z-280zx-n42-intake-turbo-na_f3360cb9-a7ba-4c5c-a6f4-affeddcdcd24

Yeah I guess it does look more like copper. And as for being concerned, I wouldn't want it running through my motor.

That's bronze radiator stop leak. https://www.google.com/search?q=bronze+radiator+stop+leak&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi906et7OTaAhVvTt8KHUhDBzcQ_AUICSgA&biw=1280&bih=615&dpr=1.25

I used cheap Walmart oven cleaner on this one, then high pressure washer.

Never mind. I see know you have the 280 version as ZKars mentioned earlier. This is all for my 240, sorry but I go straight to the last post most of the time. Life is short. Here's what I've been able to find on my laptop. Do you have the T looking connectors? That's what I put the female spade connectors on, for my 240. 280s are different. Top is the one I'm talking about. I had forgotten but I got the old dried up rubber boots back on mine too. The best picture I could find.

I honestly don't remember how tight they fit but if they were loose I'm sure I squeezed tighter with pliers. The liquid tape worked out great. It sealed everything, adding some waterproofing for any chance of getting caught out on a rainy day. I'll put up a picture I have in the morning I think shows the finished job. Using my phone now, sorry. Cliff

280 looks better to me seeing them side by side. I had an '82 SC, took half a day to put 6 spark plugs in and 13 quarts Kendall air cooled oil. WTF was I thinking? Datsun Zs hands down. 911 looks good though!

I used female spade connectors and slathered them with liquid electrical tape. Those look a helluva lot better than my jimmy rig.

Make sure the nozzles under the carbs drop down when you pull the choke lever back. They get stuck after sitting. They'll come down about a half inch maybe? when you pull the choke lever back. A helper to feel under there would be best. Good luck, hope you get to drive it while your home.

Yep, me too. Always in 4th around here and I'm always around "here". Camry for the interstates.

I replaced mine because they had lost the "cup", flattened out. I'd read cupped side down and couldn't tell on the old ones.

Haven't read the whole thread, sorry. Nissan still sales them for the fork lifts, same part but you'll need to bend the rod to match OE. Here's the p/n's

Found it, washers are seperate. $19.08

$63.72 in 2015.

Wow, I should do what these other guys do and get them cheap local and double my money! But that would be wrong and I do right. That's why I never have "cruise ship" money but I sleep good every night. The beer helps too. The real nissan's have a small 13 stamped in the bolts head.

I remember reading about that kit. It was a new fan, electric pump and asbestos insulation.

getting better with this phone! I found it. Can't remember if the washer came with the bolts though?

I bought mine from local Nissan dealer. away from home now but I put the long and short p/n on @Reptoid Overlords thread "new living roomm furniture" or something like that.

Here's a vinyl top for $3,000. Rough as a cob though and UG LEE!!! https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/1972-datsun-240z-project-car/6557925724.html

Here's some good photos @Jarvo2 got off the forum. The diagram is about third or fourth, maybe helpful?
