I must have got my 76 from carfiche. It looks to be okay. Some of Xenon's stuff can be a little wierd as in incomplete, bad scans, etc.

The Datsun Heritage Museum 'is what it is' to use the modern colloquialism. The best thing to do is accept that rather than drudging up and old thread and beginning the arguement all over again. Or, more simply, as I said, sometimes it's just better to leave a sleeping thread alone.......

There was a time when I could get the internal regulator from someone I knew that had an auto electric shop. They weren't hard to change if you had the tools to get the alterntror apart. He closed his shop about 11 years ago and I've not found another source.

I bought a Duralast starter for my Z in 2002 and was still working fine in 2009 when I sold the car. Their stuff sometimes gets a bad rep but I think they are at the mercy of the shop, and maybe even the actual person does the rebuilding, just like anywhere else. Can't answer the PS since I've never tried that but I'll bet Dave could tell you.

I'm sure he means 11/77 as in build date. It wouldn't be 11/78 since that would make it a '79.

mgood's radiator looks exactly like the one on my 78 (except for the lack of a shroud). The one you have there sits too high above the support. You cold try drilling holes in the bracket that would allow it to mount lower provided that wouldn't create a clearance problem at the bottom.

I'd check the fuel pressure while it's running next. I worked many years ago at the old Riverside raceway.

Never mind.....

It's a good design. The one's I've seen are on family members vehicles. The angle of the filler is such that water, snow, debris, etc. would have a tough time getting in.

Same old same old.

I'm not too far behind. (assuming that the 1942 in your screenname is your year of birth)

I'm not sure that they click open and closed like an injector but more so they allow the fuel tha't in them to flow from/through them as long as the thermotime switch is open. I beileve the method you're using would require fuel pressure. I actually have the equipment to test them that way but I've never tried it. EDIT: I thought about my response and decided to get out my tester and couple of known to be good cold start valves. You have to listen very closely but I can hear a sound when I apply power. Not nearly as loud as the click of a fuel injector but I did hear a sound on both valves I tested.

Since we're talking about human life, it gets confusing. Technically that would be a infinite asymptotic distribution if you take it literally but since we're all going to die it would have to be finite. I'll stop there before my brain starts to hurt.

It is innovation. What else would you call it? You might want to read up on it a little more before you pass it off. I'm not going to link anything else about it here since it's really not a retro fit item like Tomo hinted at but it is innovative.

I always thought that read: a blistered ***** in a pepper patch. That is if the word that's censored is the same in your quote as in mine.

I did not know that.

Again, there wouldn't be an OEM belt for that system since it's aftermarket. For there to be a 'Nissan branded' belt that fits would rely on whether or not Nissan ever made a belt for an OEM application that coincidentally fit and then being able to find it/match it up since it would not have actually been made for your application. Beyond that, it's really your call. I'll bet that even the ZCCA judges wouldn't have a clear cut answer to that one.

Like you were asked to do when you jacked at least three other threads in the past trying to sell this same car......I'm just sayin'.

Thank you for reviving this 5+ year old thread. One can nevr get enough of that special Ohio widsom.

Even though this thread has gotten away from it's original topic, I think you need to start your own thread for that......

It's a 10th Anniversary Car and someone painted it black? (Link doesn't work for me)

I doubt that there would ever have been a Nissan OEM belt for that application as the systems were aftermarket/dealer installed.

I believe that would be water bourne not water based. No, I'm no paint expert either. I couldn't give you anything other than a 'wiki' definition of what that means.

Japanese cars just don't bring the reall big bucks at BJ.
