  1. 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
  2. I used cheap Walmart oven cleaner on this one, then high pressure washer.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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!
  6. I used female spade connectors and slathered them with liquid electrical tape. Those look a helluva lot better than my jimmy rig.
  7. 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.
  8. Yep, me too. Always in 4th around here and I'm always around "here". Camry for the interstates.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. Found it, washers are seperate. $19.08
  12. 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.
  13. I remember reading about that kit. It was a new fan, electric pump and asbestos insulation.
  14. getting better with this phone! I found it. Can't remember if the washer came with the bolts though?
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. Here's some good photos @Jarvo2 got off the forum. The diagram is about third or fourth, maybe helpful?
  18. Birds with IBS like the #918, easy target I guess. Spring cleaning my garage turned into a bird poop cleaning for the Z. On the better side someone stopped and asked about the car and that convo turned into a potential renter for the house. Good day for me and the Z. Rent the house to a Z fan, touchdown Alabama!
  19. I understand how those gastric "lap bands" work now. That ring has never been off and would not even if you tried. Congratulations!
  20. Find the hose connection closest to the headlight and see if you have flow. Or try right off the pump, it may just need priming? Is it the same pump for the windshield washer? Do they spray?
  21. Not too long ago there was a thread on that module. If i remember right he couldn't buy just the matchbox and ended up getting the whole dizzy? Then taking the module off maybe or swapping out the complete assembly. Can't recall exactly. I've wondered if the GM HEI would work in place of the e12-80? I know it works great on the 280Zs in place of that big box on the passengers foot well. Questions without answers, sorry.
  22. I bought mine from amazon.com about 4 years ago? No problems so far but after writing this it'll stop working. You'll need the bigger cap and button plus the ZX coils are 1.5 OHMs. I think mine is a Pertronix Flamethrower, it's black I know. Also the spark plug gap is larger for the ZX ignition. Pretty easy install using "Blue's Tech Tips". Cranks just touching the key. I am very happy with that upgrade.
  23. Bummer! Sorry that didn't work for you, I see some skill in that copper work (I watch Moonshiner's a good bit). That's what I've always thought, those three wires that seat into the insulator seemed to work best when I pushed the horn pad on either to the left or right of those slots then turned the assembly until I could feel them click into place. $20 from 240rubber isn't bad at all, that's what I'll do. You should hurry he only has 2 now. I'll get one of his next batch?
