Subject: [6pack] starter wiring
Message-ID: <A1F11CD3EAF647C18373A31909300ABE@Datsun>

I am putting a new stock starter on a 72 tr6.  there was an off brand starter
on there that failed.  it had everything bolted onto one post, plus one tab.

the new one has two posts and two tabs.  Ibm assuming I ignore one tab and
use one; Ibm confused as to which wires go to which post.

I have 2 brown and 1 heavy black cables, each with a ring on them for the
post.

the wiring diagram shows the two brown going to one post and the black to the
other post.  but it doesnbt really tell me which post.

can someone help me out here?  Ibd like to do that this morning if anyone is
listening . . . .

so Ibm looking at the diagram again, and it shows all the wires go to the
same place?  except the red/white tab?

so I just use one of the posts?  does it matter which one?

72 tr6 b early gage type; ammeter

sometimes it seems to work ok; sometimes it swings wildly.  when I turn the
engine off and turn the car (but not the engine) on, the needle goes right,
not real far, probably like it should.

time to replace?

Hi Gang,

 

I've found an original AMFM mono radio for my '75. It works perfectly, which
means ya can hardly hear it.  Has anyone out there got any recommendations
about how to amplify this relic so I can get enough volume to actually hear
it? I was expecting lame performance, but not this lame.

 

Thanks

Maybe a booster amp that runs off the speaker outputs from the radio?

Does the radio have an antenna trim screw somewhere? That can make a
tremendous difference in reception. Also, make sure the antenna is in good
shape and the mounting nut is providing a good ground.

Hi Everybody,

 

I should have been more clear, judging by the replies I've received. The
antenna is properly tuned. The radio is well grounded and all works fine.
It's just underpowered...they always were. What I'm looking for are
recommendations regarding a period-specific amp/booster.

Another option you could consider, if you really like the appearance of the
radio that you have, is to have it rebuilt with modern "guts". I've no
personal experience but I've read favourable reviews about

Hi Colin:

Back in the 80s I had a 60W Blaupunkt BPA-415-A amplifier hooked to the output
of the underpowered radio in my TR6. I screwed the thing to the underside of
the passenger footwell where it fit out of sight. That gave me 4 speakers with
reasonable sound. I replaced the old radio with a modern high-power unit a
year or two ago. Strangely enough, I just dragged the amp into the office this
morning to either store or toss. If you want it, give me your mailing address
and it's yours.

Not perfectly period specific, but at least it gets you back a few decades.

Cheers,

Mark Hooper

Hi Gang,

 

I'm looking for speakers and/or speaker covers that are "period correct"
according to my insurance company. This means that they must  be from the
mid-late 70s. I'm allowed to use current speakers but I must use period
correct covers. Does anybody have a pair they can part with?

 

Thanks for your help.

I suppose a junkyard that has old cars would be your best bet, or maybe 
ebay, or one of those big used car parts and other junk flea markets at the 
local arena or events center.  But more importantly, why does your insurance 
company care about the speaker covers? does it make a difference in 
considering the car stock v. modified?

Will a 1970 TR6 4 speed trans swap into a 1964 TR4.
I'm in the process of adapting an A-type O/D to a Trans and have lots of 
spare 4 speeds around and thought it would be easier to mate up the 2 
(trans and O/D) for a quick swap later.
The only big difference I have seen is the rear companion flange is 
different than a TR6 but the O/D has a TR4 Flange.
Thanks in advance

All,

I have a 1974 TR6 for sale.  Engine was professionally rebuild a few years
ago, and it has original interior (needs to be replaced, but not horrible) and
has the original paint.  It is, a very original car.  I also have a hardtop,
overdrive, redlines (plenty of tread , like new), and it runs great.  It would
make any trip.

If anyone knows someone in the Northern Virginia TR club to contact, I would
appreciate it.  I sent a few emails but no reply.  You can contact me off
list, at scottpaisley at smartneighborhood.net

Thanks!

The inner fenders are spot welded on.
You would have to drill out all the spot welds to take them off.
