bonvo Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 and it clears the strut bar nice Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Little smoother, less vapor lock when hot, slight, if at all, but i definitely like the aesthetics of it better than the cheap 2 piece i had. No hidden bolts to loosen up. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 First "update" in a long time, things been running like a top! =) Anywho, car finally did it. I finally chewed up an alternator, after 5 years or so, and 3 different engines, track days, autocrossed, winters, dirt, etc, it finally shat out its bearings. For a NAPA Reman, i'd say it lasted a LONG time!! For the last few weeks i could NOT figure out this noise... Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yep, the one bought from Kragen. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 This one was a Napa "Gold" reman, lasted since i built my Z22 engine in the 68 years ago, i'd say it served its time for a reman. Found a shop in Auburn that does old fashioned rebuilds, you know, REAL rebuilds, not just a can of solvent and brushes. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Good to know. Kragen lasts about a year. Napa on the other hand has lasted longer. I almost always buy Napa. Quote Link to comment

Dguy210 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 If it's externally regulated, I've got a good spare from when I went to internally reg'd that I believe will fit, if you need it. I can check on the size when I get home. Quote Link to comment

68Datsun510 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 BIG UPDATE TIEM Recently i decided to convert my Weber fed L19 to dual 46mm ZTherapy SU carbs i got from Boaty. My buddy WAGONJON did the manifold conversion. He does excellent work. Had to source a new intake manifold gasket. The only place in Sac with one was Autozone, 15 miles away or so. Aside from some heat issues due to lack of any heat sheilding, the car runs spectacuplarly. Response is great, mileage seems unaffected. But i still needed an air filter setup. I had a shortened 240Z airbox, and the lid wouldnt clear. So i decided to make my own! I scored a plate of 3/16" aluminum plate from a NEAT place in Sacramento called Blue Collar Supply. I traced the backplate to the aluminum to create a lid. JBIRD helped me there with his shop to cut it out. Problem is, it turned out to be T6 or something. Hard as hell! Took a LOT of effort to cut. Jbird hacking at it. The result of 3 hours work. I then discovered the air horns were too tall for the height of the filter, so i shortened them. Reflared them using a giant craftsman socket with angled edges on the bottom. Then was the install. It still needs compression limiters to avoid destroying the filter when tightening. I then took Jons advise to eliminate the excessive rubber fuel line i was using. Scored a rough SU feed line from 510keeper, straightened it up, cleaned it, and installed. Here it is all said and done. Just waiting on a few more parts, and itll be on the road again! 1 Quote Link to comment
