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?

Out of curiosity, what's the yearly price of Hagerty on a $20,000 agreed value car? After reading/seeing this I'm a little nervous. I am single and have a bunch of cars so my Agent has me set up with an umbrella type policy where I have collision with uninsured motorist on one car, then the rest are just the basic state required insurance. I've always been a little leary of the value they would give me for the nicest 240, I've never had them appraised.

My first guess would be a loose belt, not super loose but loose enough to slip when you're off idle. I've always tightened mine until they will twist very little. Think of the top flat part being at 12 o'clock and then twisting it to 3 o'clock. That's what I've always done. Try testing it at the alternator, you may have corroded connections.

Looks fantastic! When you say choke plate are you talking about the one Art Singer makes? That's a good investment for long term and no car show judge will ever know. I paid $2K for the whole car and now to find out the radios are selling for $1,000 is unbelievable.

The N42 I found at a machine shop that had been abandoned had been swapped to the oiler cam. I bought it for the cost of the work the shop had done, $250. It's on my 280.

I've gotten myself a project that I'm regretting already, a Sentra that's been sitting under a tree for three or four years. The HVAC system was full of leaves/pine straw, filled up my 6 gallon shop vac. So I go to my storage building to get my freon gauges to add some 134a and low and behold I found 1 newer style bar and two early ones. I had completely forgot about them. I was going to talk to you about selling it. I really didn't want to so knowing that you have one now has made my morning. I looked at that JDM site you referred to, that's some really nice stuff but my card doesn't swipe that easy. You have an eager client and I'm glad, for you.

Something you did, maybe the emblems or seats, it's hard to keep up but I remember Blue saying "keep 'em coming" and you have.

Same exact thing happened to me. After the 20 minute run-in I rechecked mine, I don't remember but just about all of them were way too tight. I had set mine prior also using cold measurements. I just freshened up the OE E88, no new metal. I don't understand it but at the 200 mile oil change mine were all mostly still in adjustment. Maybe the cam tower bolts getting tighter after the heat introduced at start up???

I had one plus an oiler cam on a 9/'76 N47. Jeff G also has one of these transition heads. At $60 I'm tempted to head out to the mosquito infested junkyard nearby and pull some valve covers, if I do I'll send you a PM Steve. I might even go today? need to see what the weather going to do first, lots of rain in the area. EDIT: Can't make it today. After a few cups of coffee I remember the things I've committed to already.

Why, did something come up? Ha!

BFH? Biggest fu__king hammer?

The Anchors were $5 or less. Beck Arnley, around $18 IIRC. I bought up my parts beforehand and in hindsight I realized that's not a part to skimp on, really there's nothing except maybe start up oil if you use the same head. I'll hopefully never have touch those again.

You should have got the #1 classic! Red Bird shines like a new nickle. Thank you for thinking of me but I'm not into the road map look. What is that, a chandelier under those ta tas?
