Just got my 1972 Datsun 240z and need to replace the following parts:

-Rebuilt kit for original front and rear Hitachi Carburetors

-Thermostat

-Oil Sender or Pressure Switch

-Stock Temp Thermostat

-Ignition Switch with key

-Door Handles

-Door Locks

-Complete wiring harness (engine and body)

-Comp Cigarrette Lighter and Element

-Fuel Tank Sending Sender Unit Gauge NEW OEM Nissan

-NEW Speedo Cable Speedometer

I would like to know if I should buy my parts at Black Dragon Auto or should i strive for higher quality in other websites?

I bought a bunch of stuff from BD and also MSA. Got a brake booster from BD, 7 years now still perfect, way cheaper than MSA. Got an ignition switch and key from MSA, it was a new Nissan part. Got an SU carb tuneup kit from MSA, the hoses were crap. Got a headlight harness with relays from BD, it was crap, wrong connectors. Got a choke cable for my Chevy from LLC (BD), very nice. SU hoses and nozzles from MSA were new Nissan. So I dunno.

Suggest Nissan thermostat, the ones from MSA or BD are the same as Pep Boys.

Main thing would be the wiring harnesses, they have to be good, with all the right connectors. Didn't know BD had them. I'd want to hear from someone who bought them, before buying.
