Big day today for deliveries. I got three packages in the post.

The first was from Eastwood Company, my radiator paint so I can put a fresh coat on the newly re-cored radiator and my heater core this weekend.

The second was an old-school roadster manual I bought from a guy on Craigslist for $25. Published by Floyd Clymer, it is titled Datsun Sports Car Handbook and Service Manual for the 1600 and 2000. This copy is in very good condition.

Third was my first parts shipment from Nissan, which included my air filter element, two gaskets for where the carbs attach to the filter assembly, and three oil filters. I'd like to mention EverythingNissan's parts catalog. They have a complete online parts catalog, prices discounted well under list, and will scour a national dealer database to find hard to find parts. For example, my oil filters were located in the city of Compton, shipped to Everything in Scottsdale, and then shipped on to me with my other parts. Their shipping is very reasonable, comparable to any regular dealer's shipping, and I get to avoid sales tax on parts, being out of state.
