Engine Dampers
Are you talking about the carbs oil? That's the dampeners I think of. I use 20 weight in mine. A lot of people use automatic transmission fluid.

Car wont turn over!
On the firing order, the wires are #1 through #6 on the block's front to rear. I forgot to add that.

California 1978 Datsun 280z Restomod
I think zcardepot.com has the sending unit for a later 280? Nope. '74 is all I found. Sorry

Car wont turn over!
I'd check the basics, rotor button, cap, plug wires and finally the timing. If the timing is too low it'll be really slow turning over and wont start. Loosen the dizzy and get someone to crank it, turning the dizzy CCW (I think) then It'll spin over quicker. If it's starved for fuel your metal filter up front may be stopped up. There $10. Make sure the firing order is right.

Picking up a 1977 280z 6 Hours Away. Tips?
Thanks for sharing your pricing! That's about what I was thinking too. A few more dollars with the glass out is the rubber seals. Some are quite expensive.

Fuel pump issues!
I'd guess figuring out the "faulty" switching mechanism that is causing the power cut to the pump. It spins if you straight wire it right? Then I would bypass that switch if I couldn't replace it with a working one. The oil pressure sensor is easy, the AFM switches would be over my pay grade ?. But I would be more than happy to help get the answer from the members that know.

78 280z radio wiring
I put one of those in my 280 a few years ago and really like it. Love the small size and now have one in my truck. Mine are Pioneers from walmart. Put 2 Pyle 4" or 6"??? speakers behind the seats in the OE spots in the 280, sounds good too.

Random Misfire while cruising
Did we figure out if his country gets a summer blend fuel? If so wouldn't different heat range plugs help? Just guessing like everyone else is on the info we're reading.

Patton Machine Fuel Injection
I hurt my back a week or so ago trying on sneakers at Academy Sports. It's a lot of bending tying those laces.
