I can add more fuel with my potentiometer and the temp comes down quite a bit. Lean it out and it runs warmer. Just an fyi post.

This is how I figured mine out. It's easy once you wrap your head around the basic functions. Good luck!

You'd be better off using clear hose. That Great Stuff straw was a bitch wiggle and twisting around the float. I think the gas softened it up after a bit.

I think you'd rub into yourself before you rub into to her, eh?

I figured out a quick fuel bowl test not long ago. Common sense but I'm a little slow. IF you can find a clear straw that will fit down inside the overflow bung on top you can stick it down and put your finger on the top end holding the level in place. Compare the fuel in the straw from the bottom to the top of the rectangular boss on the float bowl to see how close you are. I used a straw off a can of Quick Stuff foam insulation BTW. It's thicker plastic than a coffee straw. Look at this picture to see where the fuel should be. Hope it helps. It's a quick way just to get an idea. There's a lot more precise ways and I personally use this method with the clear hose for a better "quick and dirty" carb adjustment.

My early n47 had both. I never saw them actually putting out oil but it had terrible oil pressure on the gauge so I thought they were both working. Never considered the spray bar was used for block off. 9/76 build date.

I did pretty much all I do now, move my Battery Tenders around. Cars truck and mower. I'm buying a 3rd one maybe this week? but dog food and deodorant come 1st.

I'm guessing this is it? https://jdm-car-parts.com/products/air-condition-equipped-decal-for-all-datsun-nissan-cars-in-late-60s-and-70s?variant=1769352757257 @kats @HS30-H could you help?

Recline in your "incline 6"

Me too Mr Arnett. I also put them on the rear bumper mounts closest to the rear tires and on my Xenon front spoiler above the front tires. Lowes has a good selection in their Hillman cabinets. I call them rubber fender washers? P.s: I like the chrome bumpers too. Looks more original and not like a kit add on. You have one of the sweetest Safari Gold cars I've seen. "One of" @Diseazd.

Could this be "urgelus" from some old post we talked about? Same wolf different clothes?

On first start up I would do what Tom Monroe's"How to rebuild" books says. Open the lower drain on the radiator and feed fresh water from a a hoe's pipe at about half of wide open and equalize that flow in and out for about 20 minutes. If you have a problem with internal engine stuff the water won't be as bad as antifreeze. Thats what I've done twice and it worked good for me. 20 minutes at 2,000RPM on a new rebuild. Whatever you're doing, it's a good flush out know matter what. If you don't have a drain plug loosen the bottom hose. Good luck.

I run a larger 280 radiator on my 240 with a full shroud off a ZX. 180F tops, fyi. The gauges on these cars aren't very reassuring. Mine stay on the right leg of the M in TEMP. That 170F to 180F. I strongly beleive the 180F thermostat from Nissan is far and above the chain store thermostats you can buy. Stant, I think, is not even in the ballpark when it comes to quality compared to Nissan.

Advertising switch and bait type thing. Like I said "lipstick on a head".

I would bet that's Dykem blue layout dye on those chambers. Somebody is using that photo to fool an unfortunate not very mechanical desk jockey looking at bat.com.

He must've read about California Datsun then folded. Who in the hell paints a high temp combustion chamber? I wonder if the head is actually on a car or more for advertising flash BS?

I'm sure the mouse trap springs were polished as well. It cost a little more but I had my lash pads polished on the last rebuild I did. I think I read that in the Honsowetz book? That blue looks good in the picture by the way. I wonder if that is the actual head that was installed or more "trickery" from California Datsun? Lipstick on a head.

These are from 1972 when the dealer installed spoilers were put on. They aren't very noticeable to anyone but me. These are where the DATSUN emblem was. I removed that spoiler when I had the car's single stage paint cut and buffed out. Then repainted them in satin black. The rear was a huge pain getting off and even worse reinstalling it, FYI.

Neither is Stihl.

On my car the rear spoiler holes that are unsightly after 50 years are OE emblem placement. They put 240Z but covered up Datsun. So the holes where Da was are exsposed on my car.

Pfff..my phone is 2 years old and works great. No need for name/model gratification. Pfff... Means "sigh" huh? well I been mowing grass all day so after some beer and dinner it's pfff..pfff..pfff..pass.

I think I would keep the period correct upgrades and offer the OE parts as well when you decide to sale. When I read BRE and Mulholland it raises my interest. Just my fyi. Take it with a grain of salt...

Or a pop-up book would've been good, maybe? This is what I first remember...

For the "boobies"? I started out on another one but they all said "don't ask, use search" like they stayed on there all the time just to say we don't have time, do it yourself. Strike 1. Then one of the main "don't ask me" wanted money to marry his high school sweetheart that was homeless without him but he was broke. I knew then I wasn't going to listen to those fools and somehow stumbled on "blues tech tips". Been here everyday since. I owe him big for that. @240260280 the best draw for me. I need to know how to fix my Z, not so concerned with who designed it.

I've read good things about uship.com. The guy that bought my Dad's el camino off bat.com used them too.
