Hi guys,

I have removed my engine for a stock rebuild on my 1970 240Z. The guys at nissan were in a hurry and sprayed the 'turquoise' (Nissan blue-green) engine block colour on all sorts of things. However the the engine brackets that are bolted to the block are two different colours- see pics. The right one is black and the left one is blue.

What was meant to be the colour of these brackets on this car?

I think this is Kats' L24

Lots of great resto reference pics here:

And a pic of an ugly L24 on wiki:

notice the fuel rail and pump and pink water hose.

I went through all this on my re-fresh. You can check it out on this thread. It will discuss most of the items you will encounter. Very interesting history.

have fun with it,

Thanks guys. I guess they should be black but in the end I kept them as per how they had it from the factory on this car.

I also notice that the engine images above are not as per my original motor. My crank pulley ( Harmonic balancer) is Nissan blue-green. Alternator pulley is black connected to cad (yellow zinc) plated fan.

Those hangers for that pink hose are lovely!

I must find some, but the curious thing is that second hose holder toward the back is usually where the divider pipe goes to divert coolant to the heater core and then to the intake via the wrap around pipe. I wonder why it is not shown on that pic. I must go in search of those hose clamps.
