McGiver it !!

Did they make different panels for the 78 model?

The Auto shifter holes mounting are different on two positions. I believe I had to add two mounting locations for the trim plate towards the rear of the console. You may or may not have to enlarge the tunnel. The original manual trans dimples were there and just hard to drill and affix fasteners.

Jet Hot is really close to you. Good Folks.

Mine is a 280 of course and there weren’t any differences when I ordered a new console from Nissan when I made the conversion.

Wondering now after my first post how much goes into play of the coating once the headers have been installed and running. Meaning how does it adhere to dirt and exhaust soot. Possibly more expense involved trying to bring them back.

Mine were reasonable $425 for header & collector.

@Mike Send those headers to Jet hot in NC and you will be extremely happy

@siteunseen Was there another post where you saw machine work performed? I’ve asked twice on engine work/history and there hasn’t been a response. @ckurtz2

History on the engine would give us a lot more possibilities for what you’re experiencing.

How long since the engine had a refresh

Realistic figure due to the number of folks present or on line bidding should be around 90k with fees. IMO

I pray I can get this car finished and back on the road!! The wall of new parts is crazy!!

Be careful grounding out a lead that is unknown can be quite risky. Very easy to blow the speaker outputs.

Got to know… Where did you find the original connectors? Needle in a Hay stack!!

How does the sealant effect the brass screen?

I’m definitely not a carpenter nor a builder like @patcon but what do you think about inserting 2x4 horizontally between the joists not only to strengthen but keep them from bowing. Just curious

Should plug into your harness. Do yourself a huge favor and download the FSM from this site.

If you can get it between 10&12 it might be a good deal. Needs a lot of work IMO.

Will the air velocity increase with the adapter?

Need to go to the classified section here. “Parts Wanted” Create a request for the part you’re looking for. Quite simple.

Are those 16” Panasport wheels? Car looks fantastic.

True even better. I was lucky and got one off eBay with no problems.

There are a bunch of tachs on eBay starting at $40. Well worth swapping out and easy to do IMO. Modifying the harness would be a last resort. My 2 cents…
