Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. No tach but on a 1973 240Z MSD6AL - original single point distributor - MSD 8910 tach adapter Power wires are connected directly to the battery Red to black/white stripe wire White to distributor Black to Coil negative post Orange to Coil positive post

Mine all buttoned up and nearly ready for upholstery. I still have to open up the opening for the door handle. I have no 'good' model panel to use for this so it has me a bit puckered up. Mine will use the reproduction upholstery vinyl supplied by Classic Datsun Motorsport...

This one Pete?

I got mine. Thanks Pete. Now all I have to do is get the tops riveted on, get the holes where they belong and get them to an upholstery shop for the CDM reproduction door upholstery!

Run Brad Penn 20W50 Racing Oil. Adjust your valves again. Valve adjustment should be done shortly after break-in before settling in to a normal maintenance pattern.

I am assuming from your screen name that we are talking about the wood steering wheel used on the early Z. You need no stain at all. Here is how I did mine... First remove the wheel and all that can be removed from the hub. Next, tape the 'wood' portion of the wheel well with painters tape. Bead blast or soda blast the spoke and hub portion of the wheel. Remove and retape the 'wood' portion of the wheel being careful to blow off all traces of glass bead or soda. Prime the spoke/hub portion and allow to dry. Paint the spoke/hub portion with a good black satin paint and allow to dry. Remove paint from 'wood' portion of the wheel. Mask spoke/hub portion with painters tape. Using steel wool, remove the finish from the 'wood' portion until it is a dull white and feels like a spanked-baby's-ass. Remove the painters tape masking and blow off all remains of the steel wool. Remask the spoke/hub portion. Using a good quality marine grade gloss varnish carefully varnish the 'wood' portion and allow to dry. Using ever finer steel wool, re-smooth between each of two to three coats. Apply a wax coat if you wish. What appears to be wood, is actually wood fibers with resin. The clear gloss varnish will give it the deep red stained look it had when it was new.
