My Datsun 280Z "Rustoration"

[HaZmatt]

Did an alternator upgrade this weekend. Got the 90amp TYC unit with an internal voltage regulator from Z Car depot.

 

Straight forward install but bypassing the VR wiring threw my for a loop. All the diagrams I found online had different color wires than what I had. Apparently some 75' models are different than others. But after some research I found a thread by Tamo3 that helped me. Soooo thanks to you my friend!

 

 

Installed

Anyone know what this is and if there is a way to remove it or upgrade to something better? The exposed hot leads out in the open just doesn't sit well with me, plus its ugly.

Looks like a starter solenoid

The Z is officially up for sale. I know one of you fine gentlemen has room in your garage for it!

 

[wheee!]

I have room... even if I have to knock down a wall! Just don’t have the budget for two right now. Awesome car, lucky buyer.

Probably my favorite build thread all time and I have plagiarized much of your work! $25k is super reasonable, would cost almost twice that much to build from scratch.
