Replacement Door Mirrors for a 1972 240z Nissan The old MSA door mirrors fell apart and I wanted to find a better replacement. After doing some research I found that GM part #987460 refers to the classic chrome outside rearview door mirror used on 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevrolet passenger cars would be a good fit. I found a kit that provides both left and right mirrors at United Pacific: Item No.110745 Exterior Mirror Bundle for 1955-1957 Chevy Passenger Car (Pair) which includes: · Polished stainless steel mirror head & chrome plated arm with identical design as original. · Convex mirror with wide angle optics for R/H side. https://classic.upauto.com/exterior-mirror-bundle-for-1955-1957-chevy-passenger-car-pair-110745 I purchased the mirror kit at Amazon for $57.69 https://www.amazon.com/United-Pacific-110745-Exterior-Passenger/dp/B07CSM82R6/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3D4VKZQDPPL45&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ji_ewCdOZDHJk5NTl-hJJNFlKNsQBt5lpAOLKHcRoK31x-GRce_gxezK_VKJFo0J9IkZHkDcZBC1uO-yqa9wAikFa3d3ppFs1Z_e9oMH7GHS0hSYXVCL3mPH2KdHlNipyinC19rlSI2bJ2OSt4dOu31VkbQgttxV3F9sjOnvlwdEzUBrH0x35XHZypqXaZKhHaGVoA8HQfe6yph6tpYjD9i1U7980UgA3v1My4M_ZeA.60nOt1lFZGTfNCnWtHJyTgcmFLSL1-4Gz3NCXbznMr0&dib_tag=se&keywords=car+side+mirrors+chrome+metal&qid=1783662323&sprefix=car+side+mirrors+chrome+metal%2Caps%2C189&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.9fe8cbfa-bf43-43d1-a707-3f4e65a4b666 See pictures.

Note that this applies to my 1972 V8 240z which uses a Motor Sports Auto (MSA) / Jags That Run (JTR) style hood release bracket. The stock hood release cable tends to fail with age. If the cable breaks you will be very sad. So I decided to replace my failing hood release cable with a Lokar Hood Release Cable kit. I installed the hood release handle where the driver’s side vent control was mounted. The vent control mounting bracket is rigid and lines up the hood release cable with the stock hole in the firewall. The vent control was moved to the left of the Lokar hood release lever and bolted to the underside of the dash. Installation required making two brackets from 2” x 2” x 1/8” aluminum angle one for each end of the cable. The release arm on the stock hood latch release mechanism required modification because the Lokar cable stop would not fit into the stock cable connection. I removed the stock cable connector on the release arm and replaced it with a spare Lokar throttle cable end and ball pivot. This allows the attachment point on the lever arm to swivel as the release arm moves to release the hood latch.

Nice placement in your engine bay. It looks like you just ran a positive off the battery terminal (?) to your box and all the accessories are using the chassis for the negative side. It is B+ only. No ground. It connects to the + terminal of the battery. Accessaries draw fused power from the fuse box. Each accessary is grounded to the chassis.

Picked this up from local hot rod shop for my 240z SBC 350 project about 13 years ago. Circuits: Electric fan relay Fuel pump Radio and amplifier Power windows Summit Racing/parts store etc probably have this fuse box.

Just use a 1979 280xz MC as it bolts on and it has the correct metric threads in the output ports. The downside of going to a larger bore MC is that the pedal will be stiffer and requires more foot pressure to stop. This can be corrected on the 240z that uses a 7in. dia. booster by going to a larger 81/2 in. dia. 280z booster. If you do this booster swap you will need to swap the 240z booster push rod into the 280z booster so the booster push rod connects to the brake pedal like stock. My brake set up: Brakes are excellent. · Front:1979 Toyota 4x4 pickup S12+8 calipers with 240z stock solid rotors. · Rear: 1989 240SX calipers with 1984 non-turbo 300ZX solid rotors. Modern Motor Sports adapter bracket (NLA) · Master Cylinder: 1979 280ZX 15/16. sourced from Arizona Z Cars · Booster: 1977 280Z. Barely fits between throttle bracket and clutch MC (Wilwood Compact). Brake feel is excellent. · Brake Pads: Carbotech AX6. Excellent cold bite and does not fade when hot. Perfect daily driver pad.

Blocked them. Works like normal now. Thanks

Go to ZTherapy and buy this video: “JUST SU’S” British HS6 and Hitachi “SU” https://ztherapy.com/just-sus/ Watch the video until you name every part and understand how the SU works. You are experiencing a lean condition. Note that the throttle shaft on the SU tends to wear out allowing air to leak into the carb causing a lean condition. This air leak makes proper mixture adjustment impossible. Contact Ztherapy for the fix.

Going auto 700r4 might be easier. The JTR book explains it. Done by many members here so there is lots of data.

Buy this book first There are a lot of details about the 240Z V8 auto to manual conversion you need to know before you start the project. Purchase and read the JTR V8 conversion manual. You can buy it here: https://jagsthatrun.com/collections/jtr-v8-conversion-manuals/products/copy-of-v-8-conversion-manual-for-volvo-200-series

1989 Camaro T5 mated to SBC 350 Basics 1. T5 transmission: The 1989 WC T5 transmission is tilted 15 degrees towards the driver. The 15 deg tilt is absolutely no problem, I have done two just cut away the trans tunnel as in the picture below. The tilt is not noticeable once center console is installed. Unless you want to make a special transmission mount, you will need an 89 Camaro T5 bell housing, driveshaft, flywheel, clutch pressure plate/disk, throw out arm, throw out bearing, clutch slave and a 7/8" clutch MC. Note that there is a V8 and a V6 version of the T5 transmission. They have different spline counts. You will need the V8 version. 2. Bell Housing: 1989 -90 bell housing for V8. Verify that the pivot ball is in place as that part is NLA. 3. Flywheel: 158 tooth flywheel: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/zzz-50-6516 4.

Clutch Hydraulic Components: Camaro Clutch Slave: Napa sells the Camaro clutch slave. https://www.napaonline.com/p/NCF73110 Clutch Master Cylinder: Both Tilton and Wilwood make 7/8in. clutch master cylinders. The Wilwood unit is more compact allowing use of a larger brake booster.

My kit from Modern Motor Sports (out of business) used rear 240sx calipers and rear 1984 non-turbo 300zx rotors. I should have said rear. Have fun.

I solved rear end clunking in my 72 240z by replacing al of the rubber bushings with polyurethane bushings including the mustache bar mounts and solid mounting (MSA mount) the nose of the differential. Of course the differential is still a little playful, but every Z I have owned had a "loose" differential that would clunk when engaging the clutch. I learned to engage the clutch smoothly. No problems in 20 years. SBC 350 v8 Camaro WC T5 trans 78 280z r200 differential Chequered Flag stainless steel stub axles. Replaced the stock stub axles because the wheel mounting flanges were warped causing my rear 240sx caliper brake pads to rub on the rotors. Over heating rotors drove me nuts until I put a dial indicator gauge on the flanges and rotated the axle. Evidently the flanges are soft and can become bent/warped just hitting a curb or a pothole. Not a problem for drum brakes, but with disk brakes the rubbing can cause rotors to heat up.

yep

You don't need a proportioning valve.
