What I did on my Datsun today
Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Did you get it all buttoned up Randy? How do you like the change? Remind me, did you go from a wide ratio to close ratio?

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Finally brought my L320 back to the house to do some work in it. It's been in my other garage for about 1.5 years and I think I've only driven it once since I took it out there. Nice to have it back home for a bit. I need to install a couple rear wheel cylinders that I rebuilt and get the brakes working again. Will drive it around enough to put fresh gas in it..

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Fabricated a mounting plate and re-wired and moved my air/fuel gauge from inside the glove box to the area between the speedometer and the tach. Much more visible now that it's right in front of me.

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
After talking with Duffman a couple weeks ago, I've decided to try using the original air filter house on my 240Z instead of the dual chrome ones currently on it. I have the original filter box, but somewhere along its life someone decided to paint some of it black. I thought I would try removing the black paint while preserving the original orange. Hoping not to have to repaint it. So far, so good. Still more to go.

Re: What I did on my Datsun today
Nice job Dale! Must have been a real pain to get that paint off. Guessing some mild polishing compound will make it look almost like new.
