Let me take a crack at explaining the strange engine #'s, chassis #, and year the car was produced. For those of you that don't know, when Datsun z cars came off the assembly line they went threw a post production inspection. Some of the cars passed, with no problems, and were assinged a month and year build date. When other cars, that failed the above named inspection, they were recycled and put back on the assembly line for further fit and finish. If the engines, transmissions, or other components needed to be changed, later parts #'s were used. That is why, when you look at 240z's side by side it can get confusing, i know because i own #1651, build date, 1/70. After checking all the supporting documents, with the selling dealer, the P. O., we all came to the same conclusion, my car went through the line, twice. I'm very confident my information is correct, as i was a line mechanic for Datsun from 1973-1975, and we got tech. bulletins all the time, on this type of information. We also got factory training, in Chicago, 4 times a year, where these topics came up all the time. I hope this helps, Dannys 240 z

Tony, i haven't seen any posts for a while. I'm looking for 2 70, wiper arms, and a wiper motor. Pm me with the cost. My particulars are Dan Linquist, 503 s. w. 10th st., Battle Ground, Wa. 98604, 360-666-7222. I can use paypal. Thanks, Dan.

I ordered the cut pile carpet because that was in the series 1 cars. I was a datsun mechanic in the 70's, and i spent many hours tracing shorts in wiring. I had to remove the carpet at least 3 times a week to gain access to the wiring

Arne, i just ordered the carpet kit. I don't really care what type of backing it has, because i layed down dynamat in all the areas under the carpet. I also installed dynamat in the doors, and the sides in back behind the interior trim panels. Should make for a much quieter ride. I'm just finishing up a 21/2 yera resto.

I need help identifying this weatherstrip. I don't have a pic yet. This is for the doors, and has 6 metal clips on it, and is roughly 24" long. Both L, and R, doors have one. Its been a while since i took these off, and i'm now putting all the glass back in the doors, and can't remember where they go. Thanks in advance. Danny
