  1. The Shrader valve holds pressure (if it's any good). The cap just prevents dirt from gumming up the valve. I've removed a cap and heard a little "pssst", indicating a valve leak. The cap, if snug, would hold a little pressure but not much.
    I've actually had caps with good o rings hold the pressure that would have otherwise escaped through a leaky valve. ZCurves, how did you arrive at the 10 to 1 ratio? Generally, low side should be about 40°+/- 5, and 10 times that for the high side would be way too high.
  2. I have two IAPCO cap and rotor sets for 79 and up 810/280ZX and a used K and N 33-2010 air filter that would need to be cleaned and oiled. It fits 75-78 stock 280Zs, 77-80 810s as well as many other Nissans. Yours for postage.

    I got no beef here. I just thought the whole thing was a little weird... Out of the blue, mousemedic resurrects a year and a half old thread and posts incorrect information about 260's when the original thread wasn't even about 260's in the first place. ???
    That pales in comparison to his opening up a 9 year old thread to imform three of our Australian members of something they werent actually discussing. The most recent visit from any of those three guys was in September 2010.........:rolleyes:

    Not sure how you'd go about boring out a cylinder head either...
    Or what good

    1) shaving the head would do if you're looking for piston to head clearance or,

    2) shaving the pistons would do, or,

    3) shaving both would do.

    Can't wrap my head around either of the last two.....

    All you are doing here with this combo is basically making a L26 motor.
    That would really only be true if you were also using the L26 rods and pistons along with the L28 crank (essentially the same as a L26 crank).
  5. That explains why I only have one. Good to know. I wonder why the injector side.
    All the EFI wiring is also on that side, the only thing on the other side is the spark plugs.

    Bob, your vents are on the way, should be there no later that Wednesday.

    On the back of that knob/switch there should be two wires, one that feeds power to the switch and another that sends power for it to the compressor. There's also a capillary tube that goes from the back of that switch to the evaporator core to sense it's temperature. Check to see of you have power to the wire that feeds the switch when the key is in the on position and your HVAC controls are in the position show in your attachment. If so, try jumping the two wires together and see of the comperssor comes on. That would tell you whether or not the switch is bad.

  7. Their purpose is to keep the water from getting the door. They pressed against the glass on my 78 and I just installed a set on my El Camino and they press against the glass on it also.
