> Hello,
> I'm probably the newest Roadster owner.  It arrived last night and I
> registered it today.  This is my first roadster (1968 SRL-31102879).  It's 
> a
> bit of an omelette (someone dropped a R-1600 in it and it has 1969 front
> fenders), but I'm looking forward to it,  My last Datsun was a 73 240Z 
> that
> was great fun until an untimely crash with my roomate driving it.
> I have a
> couple of questions, since I have not acquired a service manual yet.
> 1.  Does
> the gearbox (4sp) and differential take 75W-90?
> 2.  Is there an aftermarket
> electronic ignition system available?  Would it work for the R-1600 and a
> U-2000 if I decide to go back to a 2000cc engine?
> 3.  The oil pressure and
> fuel guages work, but not the temp?  Where is the temp sender located?  I
> looked on both sides of the radiator, but couldn't find one or a hole for 
> one.
> 4.  What is the toggle switch on the left side of the steering wheel for?
> 5.
> Is there a Roadster club in Colorado?  I'm just north of Colorado Springs.
> Thanks,
> Mark
