Mike, i am going to dis-agree with you on that. the op's first post clearly states the car is for sale at "8-9K". i still believe he should stand by his post and sell it for what he advertised. my dos centavos

been there, done that very nice!

did our cars come with a radiator over-flow bottle? if so, where was it? looking for ideas since my car didnt have one when i got it. thanks all sb

you might try putting some dye in the oil, drive a few miles, then shine a black light on it. it will glow, and show you right where the leak is. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/supercool-u-v-leak-detect-dye-9497/10639818-P?searchTerm=leak+dye

i bought wire from grainger, and the outer sheathing at a local bicycle shop. maybe $20 for everything

no. just insert the end of the cable through the barrel, tighten the screw and you are done

just remember, its a "labor of love"

if i were in your shoes, i would buy the cables from msa and be done with it. they should be the correct wire type and fit like factory

its there, just hard to see i put it on the edge of the shroud where it meets the tanks. no metal to metal contact

it has been a good week-end! getting a lot of little stuff done. finally home again new ebay radiator $360 for the rad, shroud, fans and electric stuff. everything looks good so far. we shall see

i have been waiting on parts to get the work on the cylinder head finished, so in the meantime........ voltage regulator mid 80's Chrysler temperature/oil psi gauges. i kind of like them here. i do trust mechanical over electric new flame thrower coil aluminum. gotta love it intake all cleaned up with new linkage, just looking for a home header sand-blasted, painted and wrapped. looking for a home pcv valve connection welded onto the header. we shall see if this works. i also plan on o2 sensors new differential straps. cost $6 for 6 feet of seatbelt material. the guy says this is good for around 2000 psi. we shall see getting ready to drop the engine back in place new centerforce clutch

site, is there some sort of rubber boot that seals that hole?

+1

so you list it at "8-9k" and now you are reneging on that? luial said he would take it. stand by your post

but, the fuel is only going to be as cool as the ambient air temperature. if you are heating it in the engine bay and returning it to the tank, pretty soon the fuel in the tank will be as hot as the fuel in the engine bay/ambient air

i measured a fel-pro head gasket tonight. the compressed was 1.12 mm average at the fire ring

huh??

that cloth is a double edged sword. it can also keep the fuel hot

i just pulled mine apart. there are 3 or 4 tiny ball bearings between the plates. they were all worn flat, and there was no grease at all. i put it all back together with new grease and it seems to move freely now. you might give it a try

one other question. how much room do you have between the fans and your water pump pulley?

thanks ksechler 1 more question, is there a difference in the 240-260 radiator physical sizes? i found this one on ebay. he lists it for a 260 and then for a 240. i do not have the original to measure for fit. i called this guy and he said he could do $360 shipped off ebay, and he is just up the road a bit. thats $180 cheaper! thanks all sb http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-260Z-Cooling-Package-Champion-2-Row-Radiator-Shroud-12-Fans-Relay-/141887459492?fits=Year%3A1972|Make%3ADatsun|Model%3A240Z&hash=item210926d0a4:g:XvsAAOSwGotWptgd&vxp=mtr#vi-ilComp&autorefresh=true
