Is This An Original Distributor Cap 22162-E3001?

[Zed Head]

Here's a green one from eBay.  YEC brand though, like site's.  Might be another OEM.  Just for looking at.

And here's another one from ebay:

The symbol on this Dana cap is the same as on Arne's rotor in post #16 in the thread linked by 26th-z

 

It seems that period looking distributor caps are not hard to find, I think I will save mine if only because it has a Hitachi Logo.

Thanks for the info Richard.  I had my own suspicions about the "NPN" possibly meaning no part number, I just had not seen it used with a Nissan P/N prefix.

 

I purchased the cap from Chilliwack Datsun. Thanks for the contact at West Coast Nissan, if I contact Glen I will definitely mention you name. It seems some Nissan dealers of today are not to helpful with our old Datsun's, the local dealership here in Chilliwack has been of no help even when I give them a good S30 part number.  Do you know Len at Jonker Nissan in Surrey, I have found him to be very helpful.

 

When doing a previous search about dated coded spark plug wires I noticed that Arne on this site has an original green-gray cap, maybe he will see this thread and chime in, if not I may PM him and report back if I learn anything.

 

Thanks

Mike

Glen Goodwin at West Coast Nissan in MapleRidge, Bruce Yeo at Morrey Coquitlam Infinity and Marty MicKinney at SouthSide Nissan in Vancouverare all guys I know and have worked with.

 

All are Parts Managers, old farts ( the best kind ) and all either Raced or are Racing enthusiasts. Don't really know any of the guys on the South side of the river or out in Chilliwack. Worked with Bob Simms for many years as well, but he's long retired. The name " Len " is familiar, but I just can't quite put a face to it. What' his last name?

 

Gord Hemmerling also works at Morrey Coquitlam Infinity. Gord  was for many, many years the " Go To " guy for Nissan Canada's Regional Warehouse. He was the guy we called on when we were stumped or needed an Emergency order ( " Ship Today " ) ... this guy is an Encyclopedia of Datsun/Nissan knowledge.

 

Mention my name to anyone of these guys.... and I'm sure they'll charge you " Retail +20% ) ...

Is Chas, Eurodat, the only one using Nissan Fast software?  I use the microfische on carpartsmanual.com but am thinking about downloading the Fast program.  If there's an online searchable version I'd love to know, that's a huge download for my already full laptop.

Thanks for the valuable contacts, hopefully some of their vast knowledge will be passed down to their younger co-workers. Len's last name is Marshall and he also is a long time Parts Manager, old fart (no offence Len in case you see this  )

Yep... that name sounds familiar. Did he used to work at Surrey Nissan?

 I'm not sure about Surrey Nissan but I believe he has been Parts Manager at Jonker Nissan since the early 90's
