I just picked up my 72' 240z from the shop. I'm having issues with a few things before I'm able to even think about driving anywhere:
(1) Alternator does not charge the battery or provide power to electrical system when car is running.
Alternator was taken to machine shop prior to this, where it was re-wound and confirmed working. He also sold me a voltage regulator (modern solid-state), which is currently installed. I believe that I installed it wrong. Some pictures are below.
(2) The Brake Booster Hose and Check Valve were removed by the shop, and it's been a long time since I've seen the car (almost 2yrs). The Check Valve seems to be an easy find, but does anyone know where to find booster hose? Which ones would be compatible with a 72' 240z?
(3) The dash isn't bolted in, and I don't have the necessary hardware fasteners (screws/nuts/bolts) to put it in. Are there common sizes for these avail. somewhere? I suppose they should be common metric sizes, and avail. in stainless steel in most hardware stores?
Here's some pictures of the current voltage regulator as it's attached to the alternator right now:
