77 Fsm

It does look familiar but I don't have the Auto tranny so it would have to be the Water temp relay # 4. I am going to look at the wires get the colors and try and see if its on the wiring diagram in the FSM.

On the passenger side of my 76 is the relay Bracket. It has the fuzable links on the out side, The voltage regulator in the back, The AC relay on the back side, and one other relay that sits on the front side of the bracket. I have looked in the FSM but can't find out what it is for. Does anyone have an idea what this relay is??

I would just shake it loose and shake it good. If you want to use a rubber mallet then go ahead. I have really never had to pry one apart.

Did you remove the shield on the bottom,between the engine and tranny. Did you undo the engine mounts? make sure all hoses are pulled (Heater Hose)

I would like to see some things made out of better materials. There is alot more info about materials now then there was in the 70's. Then a again a great big old 3 " HEMP exhaust cold make everything seem just peachy.

That is a part that needs to be keeped n restored. Its a hard to find part.

Are you running megasquirt?

I like the siver look.

May be this is what you are looking for. Pages from 88-93.pdf

Try this out Bill. http://classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22132&highlight=shifter+bushing I was doing the same thing a while ago. Don't use the door bushing kit from other sites, it does not work for very long. When you replace the bushings in use a little lithium grease all over the area to keep friction down when shifing. I would think brass would be the way to go.

I think its good to have the Datsum Heritage Museum getting off the ground. At least its not the Japanese Auto Heritage Museum. Then we would have all that super fast Honda Civic and Toyota history sitting next to the history Z's 510's Roadster's

When did the power windows hit the US models? was it in the S130?

Well I will try and BS my way around the line in the Z. I would guess that it is Ƶ is also used by engineers as a variant of Z in hand-written equations, so as not to confuse the symbol with the numeral 2.

Carl, That sounds like a great place to be on a Saturday Morning. If I was able to make an event like that I would love it. Will, Who did you have in mind?

I was in the US Navy from 1991 to 1993. Served on the USS Kansas City AOR-3. Did a couple of west packs and played in the persian gulf. Sometimes I wish I was back on a ship in the middle of the ocean away from all the B.S.

Looks pretty nice. Looks like he does this himself or sends them off. Never seen this guy before but never really looked. I know I switched my connectors to the BMW/chevy type quick release. I have had much better results after replacing the connectors. If you get these let us know if they are what he says they are. I would be interested in some blue injectors for my EFI upgrades.

Johnny I got ya on the fitting issues. Parts should come fitted and ready for installment.

:surprised :rambo: :cross-eye :dead: :sick: You got me rollin!!!

From my radiator adventures life becomes alot easier if the hood is removed and the fan is unbolted from the clutch with a 10MM open end wrench. Now days you maybe able to one of those socket type wrenches for faster loosening. Once the hood and fan is off everything will slide in and out with the greatest of eaze. Thats just my 2 cents. I do like the shroud from MSA but I now have the JTR radiator convertion and I can not say enough about how great it is.

You want to use a 75 to 76. The 77 can work but it would not bee easy. Most connectors are the same just small parts of the EFI are a little different.

Dam it Derek. Now I am going to have to redo the whole thought process of my EFI system. That looks very interesting. Now where to I insert the shot NOS?

77, 78 should be the same tank. If you have the old one just POR the darn thing. That liner is well worth the 60 bucks and a weekends work.

I would have to say the best part of my Z is-its in the 90's, I'm almost done with the AC restore, I have a 2" pipe that runs all the way back with no muffler a full tank of gas and a chevy next to me reving the engine like he's gonna win. So I hit the gas to about 3500 RPM's pop the clutch and start shifting gears like a hell dog. Listening to the tires spin the engine reving and away we go.
