The stuff going on now, I'm not leaving Alabama.

I'm pretty sure I booked the 16th through the 19th at the Hilton. I do know the heat really was the same, horrible! $109/night (+tax) – This is a reduced room rate! This room night rate is good from July 12-20, 2015.

'72, I apologize, I didn't realize what the difference would be. It does not run through a fusible link like the 280s, my bad.

When my alternator was back feeding it popped the IGN fuse as soon as I cranked the car, killed all my dash gauges too. Just saying, my experience.

I had one of the best weekends of my life in Memphis, TN. Spent it with like minded friends and peers. Can hardly wait until that happens again. You guys are the best!

I've never seen a fusible link like you've posted above. You could have some homemade fusible links? People think they are just wires when they're not. Here's a good write up from Mr. Blue, it's good info if you haven't already seen it. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html

I'll gather up all my a/c parts and what's already in the car and post them. I'm thinking I have all I need except the compressor and maybe a better drier. I want a current freon style, 134a? They'll probably outlaw that as soon as I buy one. My '77 has factory air but it's the R12. I've read there is a drop in replacement now for commercial coolers and freezers, RS-24. I'd like to try that on the 280.

You're exactly right, it's got a serpentine pulley and belt. The evap box is what got my interest up, it's smaller and mounts right up under the glove box with the ducting going out the same as my ARA one does in the other 240. It's hoses also go through the firewall at about the same location. Eh, I'll figure something out and use the money from when I sale the Sentra. Thank you for the ideas! I can use the the old evap box and controls with this, I think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-C-UNDERHOOD-UPGRADE-PACKAGE-FOR-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-280Z/181739985434?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D68f6f92f82714a059d0e1d6eab5bb956%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D181739985434

Anything I can do to help, glad to. I've got a scanner and would be happy to do that and send you the image. Let me know. 8^)

I got a '95 Sentra with bone chilling air for $400. I've read people talk about it but nothing ever definitive or successfully done. Is there any way I might rob the system and put it in my 240? The evaporator box is looking like a good swap as is the blower. The hardlines could be fabbed up I think. Has anybody ever done this? I've got a $400 car that blows 45 degree a/c. Vintage air is $1200 just for parts. Thanks for any ideas, good or bad. I'm hoping someone else has thought about this.

Steady as a rock! But I shoot with this hand. Hilarious movie, I watch it everytime it's on even though I have the uncensored DVD. Mel looking at those boobies saying "work work work, all I do is work". When Clevon tries to grab that chess piece before the Waco Kid is so funny. A little camera trickery there?

You probably already know this but I like to blab so if you'll put a small piece of wood about an inch think under the valves face then put an appropriate sized socket over the retainer, spark plug socket was what I used, and whack it with rubber mallet it'll break those keepers loose beforehand. Makes it a little easier, they'll fall out when you clamp the compressor down.

Well I guess steady hands will be my 1 out of 2. Beer has always helped make up for those huge balls.

I finally drank enough beer to get up the nerve to paint the lettering on my face plate. The paint pen @psdenno recommended works great. I'm going to put a couple of coats over the next day or two.

I've got that same spring compressor, it's great once you get it adjusted. I was kind of worried at first that I was too tight with it but that's what it takes. I found that a pen type magnet helped a lot for grabbing the retainer keepers.

Nice looking car. Best of luck on the sale.

The dyslexic PO;

He probably has ceiling fans on the floor blowing up.

Is that the border fence in the background? If so there's no wonder why we have so many illegal Canadians down here picking tomatoes.

Yeah, you should twist the throttle rod and not have to get in the car. What about the shade tree ways of testing the alternator? Unhook the negative battery cable and see if it keeps running. See if a screwdriver sticks to the back of the alternator like a magnet. I guess that works on all alternators and I've done that a bunch of times on older cars, probably not a good idea on a newer one with a computer though. Or what about stopping by an auto parts store and they'll roll out that cart that checks to see if it's the battery or the alternator?

Congratulations, looks good. If you want a new sending unit and O-ring Nissan still has them. Sender #25060-E4100, $42. O-ring #17342-18000, $1.50. I had a hard time with the nail head connectors and ended up using some female spade terminals then slathered the whole thing with liquid electrical tape. Worked out good too.

I'll take that warning as a compliment. Thank you!

Wow, that's only $200ish a year, peanuts. Thank you Guy, I'm going to follow up on this.

That be great, I'd like to see how they make that work. My guess is they just drill a straight line all the way through then 2 bigger holes at the cam towers to feed it and then 12 smaller ones. Where the originals drop down closer to the cam, that one shoots from the same height as the tower's feed hole. You may need to install a high volume oil pump? Something similar to the fuel rail I made. Maybe we can make our own some day?
