Grant, If your just changing the coil only and using the original transistor ignition just replace the coil using the original 3 wire ballast. If your original ignition has been removed and using a points dizzy a 0.8 ohm ballast is required to + terminal . Ballast is not required if using msd set-up ,my 74 260 has a msd 6a with original electronic dizzy needed a tack adapter

Welcome, Check Toronto kijiji in classic cars and search Datsun A 72 z needing engine work looks interesting. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/f-datsun-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-W0QQisSearchFormZtrueQQCatIdZ122QQKeywordZdatsun

Hi Steve,I have a 5/74 vin 34513 and looking into suspension packages,the early 260 cars use the 240 parts. The fuel tank would be physically the same except for some added connections for vapor and emission tubes . Call Mike @ Whitehead,s 416-665-2220 to confirm parts interchange.

Looking at wire diagram circuits for a 74 car illustrates separate fuse circuits for brake and tailights, are earlier cars the same? May have a fuse or power feed problem at fuse block

68 Super Bee 74 260 ,lots of spare parts ,motor,tranny,s toolbox,s etc, overflow into 1/3 of basement

Time to go to Kale co auto for some engine scrub http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7&zenid=e84a7539bff6dd1c2278981ff46a56cc

Yes, magnetic pick-up . There,s a casting # D6F3-01 to the right of the vacuum pot

My 74 has the same distributor with a msd 6a and blaster 2 coil. The original transistor module has been removed.

Just ordered and received a new tank sending unit from Nissan #25060-E4100 for an early 74 260 . The sender has 2 wire terminals 1 to gauge and 1 to ground. The gauge in the dash may be dash may be different due to the harness connector

Just out in the garage , found a pair of concave cibie,s removed from a 260 parts car. One has rust damage to the lower part of chrome reflector, the other is fair to good shape.Interesting, one is stamped made in France and the other made in Belgium

Hi Paul, nice find. Happened to be at a wednesday cruise night in Georgetown about a month ago and seen one there. Looked pretty authentic 289 v-8 , badging etc.

http://www.msdignition.com/pdf/6%20series/pdf24.pdf I would say yes as you would need to turn on and power the small red from the keyed ignition

msd white is trigger - to c msd red to b + ,msd black to coil - , msd orange to coil + The white msd wire in the instal instructions shows use with points or original ignition amplifier - wire. Page 22 in the msd literature shows general import wiring using amplifier with above wire connections.

The hardline support rubbers and brackets to the firewall and the tab thats spot welded to the passenger frame rail . The auto cars have no clutch hardline support provisions from the master to the slave cylinder

Welcome Catman, I also own a 260 auto , I can see 16% total production ,not 16 cars. My experience with z car ownership finds that the stick cars are more desirable and soon planning a 5 speed conversion on mine. I,m just north of Toronto and will be at the Falls next weekend.

The 280 that had the 260 bumpers was for sale in the canadian classifieds http://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2469&cat=23

Just looking at a msa catalog states early 260 cars were manufactured up to August 74 and the late 260,s with the 280 type bumpers were built from September to November. I have just removed an early thin 260 front bumper ,brackets including the 260 shock absorbing mounts from a 77 280Z , it was a direct bolt on , the shock,s were collapsed to bring the bumper into the body.

Conedodger is correct about the front bumper but use also the early 260 shock absorbing mount for a direct fit . Ive just removed this setup from a 77 280 donor car. On my 74 260 the bumper is compressed to the body and with the 240 overiders has the 73 240 appearance from the front

I have a 74 260 auto as well,just picked up a nicely warmed up 280 motor with 5 speed , dynoed at the rear wheels @ 160 hp ,has run low 15 second quarter mile ,needing some minor tuning . Also have a r200 lsd 391 gear that when this package is installed would be a big improvement over what i have now.

My tach would not work until I installed the 8920 tach adapter for electronic ignition
