    The 280 senders (side mount) have an "empty" sensor and an extra wire for that. Little red light on the fuel gauge will light up. Other than that they are identical (other than the connector) to the 240 senders if you need one and can't find a 280 sender.

    I can spare a switch or two if none appear closer to home.
  3. Just keep ALL the bits from the 240 clutch wise (disk, plate, throwout, bearing sleeve) and it will bolt up and work. Don't use any of the stuff from the car with the trans you're using.
  4. Other than then 82/83 turbo's that got that silly BW 5 speed, all the NA cars have the same transmission within their years. The ratios in the first couple of years are different than the later ratio's, most notably the over drive. 82-83 5 speeds are the sweet spot all around.

    Hmmmmm, that work bench looks familiar... I am embarrassed by its state of disarray, but it has been since replaced with a proper metal working bench. But I digress. I do still have a decent supply of shifter rods like the right hand ones if no one closer can help you. Drop me a note to z240@shaw.ca if I can help.

    Unicorn indeed. Alas, even I am bereft of such a mythical beast.
  7. Ok, now we see it Yes, very excessive. Pretty any visible movement is enough make significant looseness in the steering. Time for new rack bushings.
  8. Little delay there, sorry. Yes I have one. get me at z240@shaw.ca for details.
  9. That's me, simple.

    I'm an all-inclusive Datsun supporter. I've even touched a roadster. Once. It was just a one-night fling. It's over, really.
  11. More "Guests" than anything else are watching. Spooky....
  12. I've thought about making the bolt that mounts the fuel bowl into an eccentric/offset bolt with a 0.5 cm offset... Someday I'll have time to make one...., two I guess.

    Great to meet you finally and to help with the project! Note that appropriate entrance requirement was met. Wait a minute, I think you called me an antique!!!
  14. Let me see what I can dig up. I think I have at least one...
  15. Don't think they are any better at all, it's just a "look" and preference thing I'm pretty sure.
  16. Wires are now sold.
  17. The good news. I have two sets. Used of course. The bad news. Neiither set has the matching coil lead. I have no idea where they went. The happy news, first two people who want either set can have them for the price of shipping. While they look "ok", I guarantee nothing.... z240@shaw.ca if you want 'em.

    "Torn but still usable." By definition, if torn it is NOT usable. And DANG it, I just threw out the matching ripped and schredded letherette outer boot that would have been the perfect accessory for that rubber POS... Mind you, if that thing sells, I'm going to do the eco-friendly thing and put all my "useless" cast off's in ebay and retire rich!

    So you pull on the turn signal lever, the brights come on as well as the dash indicator, then you pull the lever again, and it switches to low beam and the dash indicator goes out. What's the problem again? The turn signal lever does not have two different positions which could be mixed up...
  20. The. "Eledlghting.com" domain is for sale. Their website is therefore toast as likely is the company unless they just did a name change. Sure you have the URL correct?
  21. Might shovel some snow off of it to prevent roof cave-in..... Will spring never come? Supposed to warm up considerably by next week, but will take 2-3 weeks of that to melt off the snow pack...

    I have parted out a few heads in the past and kept all the various bits. I'm sure I have more than a few shims laying around. Let me know what you need at z240@shaw.ca.

    I like beer, and people who show up with beer.
  24. Take a look at the bar they sent you. if its flat, it's wrong. If its curved, it will work. If you car originally had a straight bar, (its not clear what year your chassis is) the diff is in a forward position that would make either of the curved bars hard to use. I'll dig a set of the three bars out of a snow bank and take a picture for comparison.
  25. Part of the problem/confusion here is that there are two different R180 Z M-bars. The early ones, until they moved the diff back ro straighten up the half shafts, (72's?) were FLAT, and cannot be used with an R200. The ones with the diff moved in the rearward position are curved and CAN be used with an R200. Yes you have to open up the holes for the 12mm R200 holes. I've done it, its not conjecture.
