    Stock Tach with SBC Swap Jumping

    in Ignition and Electrical

    Posted

    Search does not seem to work....so I've posted this. I've seen lots of discussion (on zcar.com) regarding a tach not being stable, jumping all over the place. SBC with stock HEI and I've hooked mine up per JTR and installed the resistor.

     

    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so what is the solution?

     

    Thanks,

    Need D/FW driveshaft source

    I had them do my drive shaft as well. Cost about $70 if I recall. I've been happy with the work they did. A dirt track racer friend of mine has all his driveshafts modified by them and he is satisfied with their work.

     

    Go for it and good luck....

    Oops -caught by the Texas Emmissions Nazi's

    Congrats on getting it running!

     

    I am confused about year of conversion and emissions.

     

    I have a '77 280 originally from CA (had a cat convert) with a recently installed 350 (from a "77 Monte Carlo)....just got it running 2 weeks ago. Have not had it inspected yet....

     

    Are you saying since I "converted" in 2003, I have to comply with emission requirements as if it was a new car in 2003?

     

    I know in California they go on the newest of the car or the engine for emission requirements.

     

    Please help me understand.

     

    Thanks!!!

    Help - Clunking Noise from back of car....

    Please any ideas.....

     

    I have a '77 with 350 and a T-56, and a stock rearend. Just fired it up a week ago. Under decelleration I get a loud clunking sound from the rear part of the car (rear end, drive shaft, or ?). The rear end was fine with the 6 cylinder...never a problem.

     

    Any suggestions???

     

    Thanks - Greg :?:

    Wiring Diagram

    in Ignition and Electrical

    Posted

    Chasv8z....I am just about done with my wiring on my 77 with a 350 and a t56. The only thing left to wire is the backup light and the speedometer. I can tell you I've spent hours reading and re-reading JTR and then I have a Datsun shop manual that has the complete wiring diagram where I also spent hours, blowing up certain sections on a copy machine, and then tracing wires. This weekend I powered it up for the first time (put the battery in), and did not blow a fuse or anything, and everything seemed to work. At the same time I added the fuse block that replaces the fuseable links, and I am running a Black Magic fan and wired the car ready to reinstall the A/C. I plan on firing the engine for the first time in a week or two. I still need to connect the exhaust, prime the oil pump and that's about it.

     

    My advise is to invest in a Datsun shop manual. I don't think (I know) I could have done it without. If you have any questions, I'll try and answer as best I can.

     

    Good luck - Greg

    Wiring Question

    in Ignition and Electrical

    Posted

    I've about finished up all the wiring on my SBC in my '77. Still have one wire in question.

     

    There is a White and Black (WB) wire that was connected to a BCDD Cut Solenoid (at least per my shop manual wiring diagram).

     

    Does anyone know what the BCDD Cut Solenoid was used for? I would really like to know before I cut the wire.

     

    Thanks!

    Fusible link to fusebox conversion

    I think I have seen this question posted several times, but don't know if I have ever seen an answer. Does anyone know the Amp ratings of the fuseable links? Specifically I have a '77 280. Three of the links are the same size, and the fourth is much larger. Before I go and install one of these, I would really like to know what size fuses to use.

     

    Thanks - Greg
