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

Vacuum gauge installed


Just received my vacuum gauge from Northern Tools, its a Valley Instrument Grade B Back Mount 2in Dry Gauge-Vacuum #1220DSBVAC, 1/4" NPT male connection.  I installed it on the balance tube at an open port just in front of the brake booster vacuum hose.  Seems to fit perfectly and work as expected.  Currently I'm running right around -20, steady needle which is a good thing.
