You're welcome. This is strange indeed. The images I posted came from a parts book CD I purchased from Courtesy Nissan about 15 years ago. When I picked up #957 last year it came with a two volume original 1970 FSM set. The body and chassis volume is dated November 1, 1969. Strangely the L20A, L24 engine volume is not dated, but it does show the early version of the EE-71 diagram with only one condenser and no mention of other engine electrical condensers. With #957 I also got one of the 1997 reprints (for the N.A. Vintage Zed program) of a 1970 FSM as a single volume. Even that one shows only the one condenser in the EE section.

@Captain Obvious Check out the engine electrical section of the L24 engine FSM for info on the distributor condenser, page EE-28, 29, 30. There is a circuit diagram and other info.

Yes it is. 918 Orange is the new Black. Lol

Hey CO, #6521 did originally have a condenser in all four locations listed above. Funny that two of your four pics above are of my car. The pic above with no condenser on the alternator, was from about 10 years ago when I pulled it to do some engine detailing. Prior to the detailing it did have a condenser there, but it was not connected. At the time I just left if off when I re-assembled alternator. Here's a before & after pic. Mystery solved, Lol.

Went to Cars & Coffee in Steveston BC this morning, and met up with about a dozen members of the local Zed club I belong to. It was110 km from my house, so it was a great drive too. After the cars & coffee we did a scenic group drive for breakfast to a local Pub for the $5.99 special. Lol. Sadly this the last weekend they will be open, as they are closing after 130 years of service. Sometimes "progress" sucks, the Buck & Ear will be missed. On the way home I also stopped at my favorite, close to me, craft brewery. For some reason I was attracted to this six pack? I think this Dutch Pale Ale is my new go to beer. Lol. And it tastes good too.

Too funny. That's what I get for buying someone else's project. BTW, I've been called worse than stickler. Lol.

I was under my 1'70 car this morning, took this pic to show an installed early slave cylinder, with the external spring and adjustable actuator rod.

Hey,@Parman I was wrong about the symbol being for YEC brand. I had a look at my pats stash and found that is actually for Daiichi Mfg Co Ltd.. Here are a few pics of some more ignition parts with the same symbol. Also shown are an OE Hitachi contact point set and condenser, you can see the Hitachi logo on those.

I think that might be a YEC brand rotor. OE ones are Hitachi, they have a different logo.

Hey, no offence taken. You are totally right about AI, you have to read the results carefully and still take what is presented with a grain of salt.

Very cool. 😎

For best life and to minimize vibration, drivelines should operate at a slight angle, and not be perfectly inline. The small angle is to ensure that all of the needle bearings will see load and rotate. When I design drivelines for industrial applications I use about 2 degrees of parallel misalignment. That said the likelihood of an automotive driveline being perfectly aligned is probably zero.

Yesterday I gave #957 an overdue wash/detail, top and bottom. I've had six months of ownership, and been caught in the rain a few times during the 700 miles I have put on her so far.

Just sent you a PM back, Haven't done mine yet. Hopefully there will be some nice warm weather in May.

Is this what you're looking for? Here's a couple more pics
