The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread.

What exactly does the PCV fitting on the 2000 valve cover look like. Mine as a plastic elbow shoved into it from the previous owner and I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong. So if anyone has a photo or knows where to get one at if mine has be damaged that would be great.

Anytime I want to know what "Should be there" I start with the online parts catalog: http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun311 ... fault.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In your case I don't know that the 2000's had a PCV valve, but here is a picture of the valve cover, http://www.carpartsmanual.com/Datsun311 ... fault.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Then there are always E-Bay pictures of the engines from cars for sale. I don't have a 2000, so can't provide any definitive pictures, but I am sure someone here can chime in!

I did check that out before posting. The funny thing is though, that they do not show the part that bolts to the top of the valve cover. and i have not been able to find it on any of the vendors sites.

[notoptoy]

I did some searching around and agree, I can't find any pictures of it either, but from memory, and not having a 2000, i think it is a triangular aluminum piece that is molded into a hose fitting. Again, I'm sure someone will post something!

The early style has just a short (1/2" or so) stub of a nipple sticking up. Later ones have the bend with a ridge to help retain the hose. A wise improvement...

Is it possible to swap out the 68-70 padded dash with a Early flat panel dash?

[notoptoy]

Yes, several threads exist on this topic. It involves replacing the entire metal dash panels (gauges and glove box too.) Quite a few people on the forum have attacked this project.

[GoldHawg]

yes several threads discuss, but none document....

How to remove 66 ignition key from dash?
Thanks..

[notoptoy]

Hold the back of the switch, behind the dash, and loosen the ring around the key entry on the face of the dash. If you tape the jaws of a pair of pliers, you are less likely to mar the ring or the dash. Remember to disconnect your battery first!

Is it a screw on? I saw 2 notch on the front ring.
Thanks,
