Mike,
Thanks so much for pulling me out of this jam....even the part number,
which the helpful lady would not order without.

I am 99% sure I have the 2L rear end, as it was put in at the same
time as the 5 spd.  Its got the tell-tale traction bar mount on
the passanger side.  Also aluminum brakes drums, but they could
have come from anywhere over the years.  So, I got the 5 spd speedo gear.

I also have another supplier (small time guy, very nice) who agreed to
send me a used very good shape, or new one, for about the same price.
The one he sends will be blue with 18 teeth, so I know it will fit if
the other case is true.
That way I will have two of em, and they could be different.  One will
be the correct piece.  Im also getting a new speedo cable and assembly.

This weekend tuneup I started 2 months ago is finally starting to come to
an end.

Hot Datsun Tip of the day:  If you order something they will send you
their OLD catalog for free.

THanks to everyone for all the help.....spent most of the day surfing
Datsun sites.  A great many are just not there on Fridays...and I
hate fax machines.

See ya!...and enjoy ride.

one of these.

Jim,

If your car has a 2000 rear (3.7) the number is 32703-78100

1600 rear (3.9) is 32703-78103

I have a feeling you need the 1600 gear like I did. Probably the PO never
swapped in the correct gear.

Nismo sells them - 310-538-2610

Mike
