Welcome to my Blog!
Welcome to my Blog devoted to the restoration of my 1972 Datsun 240z. I purchased it in 2013 and have been actively working on my driving-restoration, so I can enjoy the car rather than having it in pieces for years. Please enjoy the write-ups below, as well as the how-to's. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any comments or questions. Thanks. - Dave

Radiator Upgrade
The next project I just completed was to install an aluminum radiator in the 240z. After looking at the copper unit that was installed by the prior owner, it was a 280z 3-row radiator. Unfortunately the lower hose pipe was straight rather than crooked up like the 240z requires, so I needed to install a matching unit. I chose an American Eagle 2-row aluminum radiator with a lifetime warranty. The install was fairly straight forward and the hoses line up now, and the bottom of the radiator does not hang below the front cross member as the prior one did.
