Z DOWN!!! Zed needs a hand.
Excellent! Glad it runs. I can't help with the triples

Brake fluid leak at master
I don't like the really short brake pull. I prefer about halfway. That way I know the shoes are fully released and don't drag...

I believe I used a 1.5 ohm coil with no ballast resistor

I agree with Yarb. My car was inop when I did the install. I set TDC and installed the dizzy. Rotated until I got the green light. Then locked down. Programmed in an initial curve Started right up. Verified actuall advance vesus the apps display with a timing light. IIRC there are multiple spots where the green light will light up as you rotate it...so you might have more than one orientation option

CAD or ZINC.. now we know.
I respect Carl greatly for the post! It's a shame his humility couldn't be reciprocated

I did a little googling and couldn't find a cap either. It appears that the other caps #209 and #226 aren't interchangeable. I have the 123 ignition. I like it so far. Totally customizable spark curves. The ability to kill the car ignition with a PIN code. Some nice things I have read they don't like excessive heat, so I made a little heat shield to mount on my headers I have run the ZX dizzy in the past. Runs fine but you need to keep a spare module on hand in case the ignitor dies.

I need some fresh air vents for Cody's car. I have been unable to find some in the US. All sources or leads welcome These are the vents that are inside the car under the dash. 1972 Datsun 510 or 1600

Datsun-240z Vs Fairlady-z432
No Kats, unfortunately I haven't. It does run though. I still have a lot to do on the interior and some tuning, but I'm getting there. Progress should get better when it warms up a little

Rough cold idle then smooths out
An IR gun would be useful too. You could measure temp at each exhaust port and see if all six are firing and burning during that 30 seconds

S30.world
I actually dont see it that way at all. I read the original post and it came across to me as being very open minded about S30.world and what they're currently working on...

Cody's Goon
So the tach loop is junctioned near the fuse box. Routed through the tach and rejunctioned near the fuse box. So you would like me to break that loop and see if it runs?

An Alternate Windshield Wiper Refill Solution
Yes the refills that you found on Amazon do fit the OEM silver stiffeners I don't have two OEM stiffeners and I also appear to being missing the thin retainers, so I used the replacements I ordered from Summit racing

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Thanks to Rich for the paint recommendations for the horns! @motorman7 I did get this horn working Some wiper arms. There are two different lengths. They also have some different numbers on the back of the arms. I cleaned these up with glass beads at about 20#'s of air I did order these blades for my wipers. They seem ok but the blades flex alot when they wipe. Hopefully they won't roll over so much that the frames touch the glass Also the wiper arm nuts are plated brass! So they damage easily. I actually don't know what the finish is. It might be able to reproduce it with paint

Cody's Goon
Cody's tach is installed but not functioning. It will need some more diagnosing when he's back in town

Nice Beepers!
Also, I found SteveJ's recommendation of 20 ohms to be pretty close. That screw is also very sensitive!! Goes from 3ohms to Kohms very quickly. I found it need adjustments of just a few degrees. BTW I did get the my one horn working. Now for the other...

I won't be surprised to see automatic cars catch up in value in the future. Most young people can't drive manuals

Priming L24 engine oil system?
I would fog the cylinders with your spray of choice and then use the starter until I had flow to the rockers. You could pull the dizzy, oil pump and quill and then reinstall the oil pump and spin with a custom quill on a drill through the dizzy hole. But that still won't coat the cylinder walls
