70-71 Choke plate

[240ZX]

I don't think so Allan....I'm not the greedy type. I'd like to recieve what it's worth however! Mostly, I would be happiest knowing it went to someone that really needs it to make their Z a little closer to original. So, based on the description I provided earlier, what's a fair price guys/gals?

Sorry for hijacking this thread but can someone tell me the story behind why there seems to be two types of 70/71 choke plates. One has a full length (to match the choke slot) throttle slot and the other is shorter. Which came earlier ? Thanks.

I believe there are actually at least three different types of throttle/choke plates for the 70 - 71 Z's. The first two that DJACEY(UK) mentioned with the long and short slots for the throttle lever, and a third type with the "ON" lettering missing from below the rear window defogger symbol and the "ON ON" lettering missing from below the parking light symbols. I'm sure that the third type is the very earliest type because I have one on my Z with a build date of 11/69. This is also consistent with my observation that through the years Nissan transitioned away from symbols to using words to label switches and levers.

To partially answer DJACEY(UK)'s question, the long slots came first.
