@SteveJThanks brother, just what I need for my project. Should have everything in a couple of days.

You’re probably don’t have a fuel pressure gauge installed after the filter to monitor pressure . I noticed on mine, fuel pressure would bleed down. Never interfered with starting even cold at 0 pressure. Builds quickly while starting. Check the fuel damper next to the pump. Probably going to need a mirror to really look at everything carefully or get an inexpensive endoscope camera from Amazon that’s blue tooth. Valuable tool.

Put it on Jack stands, grab a buddy and start investigating.

Can you give us an idea of what you are replacing?

Converting my car from FI to triple 47mm OER carburetors for my Datsun Spirit motor. The canister and anything associated with the FI has been removed permanently, mounting brackets etc. Looking for some ideas at this time on venting the tank once that line has been removed. Appreciate all the help.

Checking on an order status when I saw this. Pretty Cool. Belong to anyone you know?

Take a look at “American Modern”. I’ve got my project insured for 30k for a little over $200 annually. $100 deductible with 3k miles a year. The stipulation in mine is it has to be garaged. You can also buy it back if god forbid it was totaled. I’m still in the build stage but will be transporting it quite a bit during the final stages.

@Dave WMOne thought on the performance aspect between the two motors. On the test stand you had a free flowing exhaust setup where I think on the car you’re still running the restricted system with the original catalytic converter and smaller exhaust. Please correct me if I’m mistaken My friend. Great job quick turnaround time.

Just ordered mine! Great Cause!!

You are going to need a FSM “Factory Service Manual”. Available here to down load. Please stop throwing parts at the project. You will quickly find yourself going down a rabbit hole. Second we are going to need a lot of background history in order to help you. A lot of reading and research is ahead of you. There are numerous possibilities. Start by downloading the FSM.

Did he mention having any other templates for later year 280’s

Good job Dave, Great practice run before we stab my new motor in!!😂😂

When you call ask for Max. Good people.

Looks like they are no longer there. Search on z story Sean Dezeart and look at his posts.

Look at the classified ad for parts for sale on this site. You should find them there.

Didn’t Appliance wheels have something similar back in the day?

Ludicrous!!

Sounds like your panels are in great shape. Might want to let the professional handle that as well. You’re fortunate to have a good shop to turn to. IMO

Did you try your flashers? That will verify good bulbs. Easy enough to change the flasher.

That’s probably how they found it on the side of the road 😂😂😂

@chaseincatsCan you explain why you did not go wit the seal and peal adhesive? Just curious. If it did not work you could easily remove it. just curious at this point.

Datsun Spirit stage 4 requires 93 octane. Not sure where I can find non-ethanol where I live.

@SteveJ Not sure you want to tackle this one…Unless there’s another thread out there, Pretty sure it was just straight hard wiring the two harnesses with a color combination between 2 manufactures if I recall.

Not I

I need to find 93 octane ethanol free if someone knows a major distributor that offers that.
