Duffy,

Where did you purchase the coolant temp sensor? part number?  From the pics your using the port in the thermostat housing facing the ITB's. Found a few on-line but not sure of the internal shaft length. 

Thanks

I believe it's an AEM.  1/8 NPT.  Then I found some adapter for 3/8 BSPT to 1/8 NPT. But my memory sucks. I might have retapped it to npt?  Which is my normal go to.

I went with clear anodized fuel fittings. I think it gives it a vintage look. My fpr mount works awesome.

Next is figuring out pcv and ITB. This idea came from Tony Degara. Pretty darn genius and simple! This utilizes the stock pcv valve and it will feed directly into the center of my vacuum balance bar. The AN fitting is just for mock up, but I love the look. I think using the stock crank case tube works the best since it gets it out past the header. This is some Acura pcv grommet. I got another one that works directly into the block.

Somehow this window track was bent? Seems impossible.

Stroker is ready to drop in. Finding time lately has been rough.

Nope. Only Datsuns I have driven is my families 510 wagon growing up and my stock 2.4

Got to say - surprised anyone messes with the spray bars . Looks like a new one , but they still scare me

My engine builder loves them, it's a brand new one.  You like internal?

There wasn’t any suitable replacements forever and running a used one wasn’t thrilling to me . I’d say there’s more to go wrong with the pipe attached to the cam towers then oil coming right out of the cam. Didn’t realize that was a new cam oiler - which is great . Not saying one method is better than another , but it was hard to find new ones . I tried an aftermarket one that I had to modify the valve cover for it to fit -BS .

Andrew does love a oil spray bar.  It would be tough to argue one over the other.

My new current pcv plan. Slightly filtered, oil catched then back into my throttle bodies vac balance log. I will figure out a better filter later on.
