The one for reverse is the farthest back. The other is probably a 'top gear' switch. When you're in high gear, the switch allows the vacuum advance on you distributor to work. It is part of the emission system.
I think i paid about $500 to have the samething done to my transmission. Its a lot of money, but all of my transmission failures are from bearings going bad.

I have the same pump waiting to be installed. I ran the wiring, relay, and oil pressure switch cut-off. I'm waiting to work out some bugs before I install the electric pump. For now im using a new B210(A13,14,15) pump with the A12 lever. It seems to push about 4psi.

Very nice. You say those are from the front of a Dodge Omni type car? I think those are quite plentiful in the junkyard.
One question though...are those disk brakes in the rear? How did you manage that?

I found one source of "wack", but its not good. I got "WACKED" at a stop light today. Some F*ckin A**hole rearended me. The bumper and the area right behind it is pushed in about 4-5 inches (100-130mm). This is the spot where the trunk floor joins the rear panel. As if i dont have enough problems to sort out, now i have to deal with this crap.

I dont think I'm going to do the 240z brake thing. This is going to be a street car and I dont want brakes falling off on the street.
Anyways, I went down to DMV, registered the car and went on a maiden voyage. Once again no smoke or fire, but i did take a fire extingusher with me. The SU's are all out of wack. I only drove around the block a few times but that was enough for today. It's quite loud with no interior or tar mats. Only a dash, a seat and a roll cage.
Thanks for the brake tip.

I think circle port heads have only one stud between each pair of intake runners. The oval ports have two studs, one on each side, on each pair of intake runners.

I have the cover scanned as a .jpg and the rest of the book is scanned as a .pdf. The blueprint is 3x4ft.(914mmx1219mm). Its full size. I'll send you the .jpg and .pdf file to check out. I'll ask how to download to the club in the other forum.

After more than a year of work, the damn thing started on the first try. I told my friends and they said "Thats nice", but I'm sure you all understand what this means and how it feels.
Last year my old 1200 was t-boned. I found another 73 2dr sedan (unfortunatly for my wife) and transfered most of my accounts from the old car into it. I've added a GX/A13/A12A or whatever head, SU's from a 1600 roadster and a new dash that's probably more at home in an airplane. The dashboard took the most time and so far everything works. No smoke, no fire.
Upon starting the car oil poured out from under the dash on the drivers side, coolant poured out the passanger side, and the fuel pump leaked gas.
I've fixed all of these problems and more and I'm now waiting to register the car so I can start driving it around. I'm sure I'll find more to fix. I can tell the carbs will keep me busy.
Near future plans are for the suspension. I found a copy of the Datsun Competion Departments plans from 1975. It will be much better than what I have/had. Larger swaybars F+R, 240Z front brakes, adjustable ride height F+R, camber and caster adjustment. Far future plans are for paint. Possible paint theme is the BRE blue top. We'll see what happens when that time comes. I don't see the suspension or paint happening before Shasta. Oh, well.
Thanks for listening,
Angelo
