<b>YIKES...</b> can't find a vacuum switch

[Huckleberry]

Can anyone help direct me to a place to find a part for a 1976 Datsun 280Z 2+2

I need a part called a valve vacuum switch and the nissan part # is 14956-U6705, and there are two other part #'s that will work: 14956-U6701 and 14956-U6700

Tks in advance..

still searching for a valve-vacuum switch for a 1976 280z 2+2... it has a straight six and has been running great until a sensor wire broke off. Now the car thinks it's running cold all the time and is running the gas too rich. or at least that's what i think it's doing.

Nissan gave me this part number of 14956-U6705 and they said two other part numbers will work 14956-U6701 and 14956-U6700.

but of course, nissan doesn't make or carry this part anymore!

i've checked several parts houses and now i'm looking in the junk yards. any HELP would be greatly appreciated ;-)

Where on the engine is this located? Is it on the intake manifold just ahead of the EGR valve with a vacuum hose between the two? The 75-76 had those but on the 77-78 it is replaced by the BPT valve. Let me know if thats the part and I'll look around and see if I have one.

I've included a picture of the part that i need... thanks for any help you can give ;-)

can you fax or email them the picture so that they can confirm if the pn# is the item you need?

#28 in your diagram does not look like the diagram of the VB part in my catalog.

#28 in the diagram you posted is the Air Regulator, if you tell them the correct name I'd be willing to bet they have it.

Nobody's mentioned Chloe at MidwestZ yet as a possible place to get said part. She's gotten a number of things for me that no one else said they had or could get...
