it's the wire tie that holds the temp sensor wire to the rad hose. mine is very brittle and i would like to get another one.

Pull ties work!

Considering you have a smog pump and braided radiator hose guess you probably want stock? You probably want a stock hose clamp too?

I don't think thats a factory arrangement. My 71 has those wires routed on the other side of the distributor and no wire tie is required.

None on mine either, but no smog or stock distributor either :cheeky:

Actually, it think that is the factory arrangement. Those are on my 810 and Z though they are later models but they've been on every other L or Z engined Datsun I've owned.

Looks like it shows up on the microfilm for the 260Z on. Check fiche 4/8 Section 54A-2 parts number 8 and part 9 look similar... Ubiquitous "clip" notated in the description. Didn't see a listing in the 240 films.

Don't recall about the 70 but that clip was on my 72. I only recall that because I broke it and had to get another one from the dealer.

It appears to be correct for late '71s as well, as my red car has one.

I had to look hard in my pictures to find it, turns out that the shots I have here were all taken while it had slipped off the hose. Look at the very bottom just below the radiator hose to see it.

Has anyone located the OEM part number for this clamp? If not, what other years did Nissan install this clamp?

Thanks,

Yes, the wire holder is stock. I recall Kats discussed this part when he found a new one. Good luck finding one. They are rare as hens teeth.

This clip is on my 1970 and needs replacing as well.

I actually found a better photo.

Keith, I consulted my trusty club parts CD, and came up with #24220-E4101 for this wire clip. This part number is used up to, and beyond 8/76. Kats had researched this item and found an early iteration of this clip. He shows pictures on his web site of both early and later styles of this clip.
