72 Datsun 240z

I need to lower the temperature in my car. Mechanic inspected the car and ask me to get a good fan clutch made in Japan. Any recommendations for a premium quality fan clutch for my 72 240z?

Just replaced the pertronix ignition coil with a brand new one and new 1.5 resistor coil as the old one was not measuring any resistance at all. Just left it idling for 15 mins in the parkway. Lets see if the coil gets hot during traffic jams. VID-20250302-WA0021.mp4

So 1/4 or 1/2 inch diameter? I guess 1/4 is the way to go

Ive seen several on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D5GZQYXP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1DGO48EAHVET1&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C4LDSBF4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1D2WOR1KGBRUG&th=1 Which one one would you recommend?

I need to get my engine bay in order and tidy and would like recommentations on high temperature resisting nylon or cloth sheath. Anyone?

Ok Gundee. Mechanic will certainly pull it out to see whats wrong. He also noticed lack of fuel in cylinder 1. Spark plug is not even tanned. Asides from that as temperature is rising to 3/4 he also suspects fan clutch should be revised. Which fan clutch would you recommend for this 72 which carries a champion 3 row radiatior?

Hi Site, Good news i found a 69 year old Camaro carburetor mechanic and competition racer. He drove the car and determined there is lack of fuel when accelerating at low rpms. Car shouldnt hesitate when releasing the gas pedal. He also noticed spark plug in cyl one is not burning correctly and lot of fuel on cylinder 4. Unfortunately he is living in Tampa and will not be back until 2 to 4 months so he can take care of the car. He wants to deal with these issues and do a leak down test before taking the head out.

Thanks Site!

Thanks Site! You are the best! Always looking for solutions!

Okay why dont you recommend solutions and better brands before i make my purchase. Perfect critic!

I got my electromechanic to check the wiring and it seemed connected all the way around. This is how it ended and hopefully there is no noise inside the dashboard when driving below 1500 rpms. Anyway im waiting for amazon to send me a new 1.5 pertronix coil and 1.5 ohms ballast resistor so we can eliminate lack of electricity from coil to cyl 4.

Still trying to figure out the correct wiring to get a consistent spark. Dont know why the ac shop threw a wire from the coil to the ac blower?

More cleare pics of the connections from dizzy to petronix 1.5 ohm coil. Original resistor is measuting 2.1 ohm though. I removed the coil sparkplug wire for clearer view and your input!

Gundee, Do you need more pictures of my coil so we can wire the petronix correctly? Need to get this ac blower noise issue solved asap!

You are right
