In 1977 my 73 Z had a 'Lear' (as in jet) 8-track installed. Still have the tapes, and still looking for the player, must be a 'Lear', the inventor of the 8-track. :)

Reversing the cables happened to me & the 73 once, fried the link. That is when I noticed both battery cable ends were black. When I picked up the new fuze I also got a RED battery cable the proper...
My untouched 73 diff has had a whine that starts about 53 mph and quits at about 58 mph since I bought it in 1977. I was told years ago not to worry about it because that speed range was where the...

This is a Datsun 2000 advertizing postcard printed in March of 1968. The tag is 1968 and the model looks like a 'Bond' girl. :) The back states:

My experience with a fusible link (73) was during refurbishment. With both battery cables being black they were placed on backward. I noticed a larger spark than normal, then saw below the fusible...
The only problem with the Hagerty article is that "The 240Z has its roots in a 1964 design penned by Albrecht Goertz..." FWIW.

You are lucky to have the fog lights, they are very expensive to replace.
