Guest medley Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 hey i have been having trouble with my v8 swap wiring. first of all every diagram i look at has somethings wrong with them. then i got to thinking. my car was made in october of 77 but it is a 78. it seems to have a little bet of wiring frome both years. for example i have four fusible links right in front of the battery. (shows to be 77) i also have and internal regulated alternator. (shows to be a 78). any input or am i just being stupid and overlooking something. is this possible thanks.

COZY Z COLE Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Welcome to the world of Z'S. Datsun/Nissan was famous for switching parts and wiring during model years. The wiring diagrams are just a snap shot during a model year. You sometimes have to use 2 or more different year wiring diagrams to match your car. The key is to find your car's parts in the wiring diagrams. To add further confusion to this sometimes they used different colored wires than are on any diagrams. The purists go nuts trying to match their vin number/build date to what was suppose to come with it. You have series changes and early/late model changes that add to this mix. And even with factory cut-off changes they wanted to use up old inventory so you really have some "hybrid" stock Z's out there.
