  1. Thanks so much Yarb. I believe i can get a bigger one such as this one to keep the engine bay cooler: https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/fans-electric/pusher/yes?kr=Fans%2c+Electric&N=brand%3aderale-cooling-products Any thoughts?
  2. Im still concerned as i bought this car used in 2014 and just replaced the water pump. Now that i have an AC installed the car generates more heat and is indeed causing heat issues during traffic. I told the mechanic to pull the Champion 3 row radiator out, flush it and check the water pump. We need to get the heat out of that bay. It has a brand new fan clutch and i wouldnt like to spend money or time swapping to electric fan. Asides it is safer to rely on the fan clutch than a failing electric fan.
  3. Well im.having this exact problem and still wondering if i should replace the new fan clutch with an electric fan to avoid the temp gauge reaching 3/4 and my car engine hesitating after 15 mins of traffic. I have a champion 3 row radiator. Should i replace it also?
  4. This is what i have and needs to be serviced! Please advise!
  5. Id like to change the brake shoes on my rear wheels any recommended brand? Shoulf i buy the complete kit with springs?
  6. Just received this replica of the original lamp. Hope the wires in the car reach the femal and male plugs of this lamp. Why did the manufacturer glued the sockets with silicone?
  7. Looking to replace my old worn license plate lamp on my 72 240z. Any pros and cons on the new repro? https://share.google/JYmCApNhdtEwbOrTC
  8. which of these suppliers is preferable? Better quality and more varied kits for my 1972 240Z? https://www.vintageconnections.com/ or https://240z.life/product/datsun-240z-body-electrical-harness-rebuild-kit-oe-style-connectors/
  9. well id got the problem solved and both flashers and turn signal lights are working. Dirty contact under the dashboard, passenger side, where the hazard flasher relay is connected. dirty terminals which will need some tightening and cleaning. Thanks everyone for your input!
  10. How do i remove the hazard switch? All tail lights left and right are working. Rear Blinkers and left rear turn signal light are dead!
  11. Of course! I just wanted to solve this faster without getting into the wiring diagram! Its really weird that lneither the hazard swich or the ts switch can make the left rear blinker work.
  12. Reverse lights on both left and right work. Right tail light works perfectly. Problem is only on the blinkers and stop light on the left tail light.
  13. Thanks for your input! Ill check on that. The weird thing is that even with the hazard switch on only the right tail light blink. The left tail light does not blink either with the hazard switch or the turn signal to the left. All other front and dash light work perfectly. Where do i check?
  14. The left rear blinker and stop light is not working either with the turn signal switch or the hazard switch. I already replaced the burned bulb and still the same. Should i remove and open the turn signal switch for cleaning its innards or could the problem be something else?
  15. I have a champion 3 row radiator. Its like 15 years old and stock fan clutch. Which auxiliary fan can help reduce the temp when the AC is engaged? Which type and brand?
  16. It climbs 3/4 but when turning the ac on during traffic.
  17. I still believe there is an issue with vapor lock as i turned the ac on and the temp started getting to 3/4 of the gauge.
  18. He retuned the carbs, installed a msd coil and advanced the timing. Guy is 70 years old and works on 8 cyl camaros.
  19. Mechanic finally managed to get the 6 spark plugs working. All seem burning correctly with no fouling. Car does start misfiring if i turn the air conditioning on. Id like some advice on replacing the ac fan, condenser and compensator so i can have an efficient air conditioning system that cools well and does not make the needle move to 3/4. We are getting there!
  20. Can you guide me where should i buy the red interior hardware springs and molded seats? I thought at msa i could get everyrhing!
  21. I was thinking on buying that msa kit but now you are mentioning a problem with the molded seat!
