Datsun

On a 1978 Datsun 280Z, the flasher for the blinkers and hazards is typically located under the dashboard, near the steering column. It is often mounted on or near the fuse box. You may need to remove a panel or look closely to access it, as it can be somewhat hidden. Always ensure the ignition is off before attempting to locate or replace the flasher.

On a 1972 Datsun 240Z, the number 1 cylinder is located at the front of the engine, closest to the radiator. The engine in the 240Z is an inline-six configuration, so the cylinders are numbered 1 through 6 from front to back. Thus, cylinder 1 is at the far left when facing the engine from the front of the car.

To remove the ignition lock cylinder from a 1980 Datsun 210, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Then, insert the key and turn it to the "Run" position. Locate the small pin or release tab on the ignition housing, usually found on the underside of the cylinder, and depress it while pulling the lock cylinder out. Finally, remove any additional screws or components that may be securing it in place.

For a 1970-1971 Datsun, the torque specification for the head bolts typically ranges from 60 to 65 ft-lbs (foot-pounds). It's important to follow the manufacturer's torque sequence and specifications to ensure proper sealing and prevent warping of the cylinder head. Always refer to the specific service manual for your model to confirm the exact torque requirements.

To wire a 1984 dual plug distributor for a Datsun, start by ensuring the ignition is off. Connect the primary wire from the ignition coil to the positive terminal of the distributor, and the negative terminal to the ignition system. For the two sets of plugs, ensure that the firing order is followed correctly—typically, this is 1-3-4-2 for Datsun engines. Finally, double-check all connections and ensure proper grounding before starting the engine.
