Kewl, but will this plug 'n' play work for us pre-68 roadsters?

Great to finally meet you and see Zippy Friday night. Of course, after extolling how nice Zippy was, Debbie (my wife) says,"Well, why didn't -YOU- find a deal like that?"

My "...but I wanted a low-windshield/flat dash roadster!" response only mollified her a little bit. :?

Should work for low-window 1600's. If I remember correctly they use the same plugs through the fender wall. The new circuit is switched by the old one and power runs directly from the battery.

It was nice to meet you Pete. Just get the wife ready for roadster number 2, and 3......

Shhhhhhhh! :wink: After Friday, I'm also thinking a NL320 and maybe a 510 or two. We still regret selling instead of shipping the 510 Wagon we had in Hawai'i.

I also learned that Debbie's family had a (69?) 4-dr 510 like Jason's with the same "Datsun Competition Mustard" color, however, her sister totalled it, so Debbie learned to drive in a lime-green Plymouth Cricket. 8)

Oh, I also noticed that you had added a ATC-blade fuse near your fuse panel. Was that spliced into the G/W wire between the starter and the fuse panel?

The fuse panel is in the glove box on the high-window cars.

The 30amp fuse is at the connector from the starter on the white wire which goes to the ammeter.
