[Roadsters] U20 hose & wires

[Gary Boone]

Paul,
I found that a plug wire set from your local auto parts store for a 1980 thru 1982 Datsun 210 fits well.  If you want high performance wires, I think Ross is making sets of MSD Super Conductor wires.

For hoses there's a Cooling System Wiki Section on www.311s.org with Gates part #s for hoses and belts.  A few years ago, at a Car Quest, I found a molded upper hose for my U20 for a different application and it was essentially a perfect match to the original hose.  It's still up in my attic, but I can't climb up there to get the part # anytime soon because I recently had knee surgery.

  Trying to help a friend bring a U20 back to the road and it's time to set
the motor up with coolant & electricity.



  What after-market plug wires fit well?  I know he could buy a V8 kit and
make two sets, but is there another 4 cylinder's set that would work?



And is there an after-market upper radiator hose that works well or should
he order a stock one?  He has a generic hose that will fit, but I don't like
the tight bent at the water pump and I'm looking for something better.



TIA,
