cg78

Well I scored a 79 5spd wide ratio. I really wanted the close, but every car they came equipped was already gone. It seems to shift nice and the car looked to have a 130k miles on it, so we will see if I can get it in tomorrow and test it. Thanks for the help and the info on the faq page.

Call a machine shop they should be able to help you.

I did not change any of those things other than a yolk, so all I need to swap back is a yolk. Btw this is in a 620. I am on my way to the yard now and I hope I find the later close ratio z trans.

If you are going to cam your engine, which I recommend, you should probably run the weber. A 280/480 is a very nice cam for the street. The su's are a pain to tune, but once they are dialed I heard they can be very nice. Also they are a bit small. I also recommend you to at least have the exhaust port pocket ported. My builder said most of the power gained by porting datsuns was in the exhaust port. As for the dizzy, I have to disagree. I ran a el dizzy and had problems with it. I now have a sss point dizzy with a msd 6a box running it. When you use the msd box the points become a low voltage trigger making them last way longer. Lastly be very careful about timing. These engines hate a lot of timing. In my case I am not supposed to over 32 deg total. I had to have my dizzy re curved to my engines specs, so I would not go over like I did before. Lets just say I found out the hard way and cracked a piston skirt in half because of too much timing. Hope it helps.

I will ty. I do not have any trans parts lying around soI would need to buy two to make the hybrid. I have a pro 5.0 shifter. My problem was never with that is has to do with either the shifting forks, dog teeth, or the slider. I am going to fix it myself I just need a good ratio trans for the mean time.

Not sure I had it looked at by a tranny guy. Ty I will look into that. I may need a whole tranny though. I did not change my drive line it fit tightly, but it did not bottom out. All I changed was the yolk, so I need to change that. I hope I saved it. As far as whole tranny's that were strong, what would you guys recommend? I have a a beefy LZ.

I have been in a battle with this thing since I received it. Last time out the 3-4 slider was replaced only to bind up and grind those gears one week after. Last night it decided that I do not need a third or fourth gear. I barely made it home the noise it was making was interesting. The question I have now is what tranny should I run, besides this mess? I really liked the ratio's of the t-5, so if I could find one similar I would be happy. My plan is to get an idea of what trans to get then hit the yards this weekend. I want to get my truck back on the road asap. Btw I did a search and I like the 280 wide 5 speed final drive, but I just want to be sure that I get some thing close to what I have now. Thanks in advance. Chris

I am in sac and can give him a hand. I am fairly busy, but always have time to help those in need. Pm me and I will give you my number.

Dk is used by honda and exedy is actually dk. I have used exedy organic stage 1 in my honda and now on my 620. I have to say it is a great clutch but the stage 1 is stiff and gets really old in traffic, but it holds power nice and has held to the abuse I have put it through so far. Btw the tob sleeve is a breeze to change out. Just be sure to play with the little ring that comes off the old tob. I test fit every thing and found I needed the ring even though the installed height was good without it. Then again I am running a t-5 trans.

Ty ty. It has been a labor of love and hate. It was running good today I just need a few more fine tunes and it will be track ready. Here are my two whole pics lol.

Sounds good then it is meet at the picnic area at 1pm then. I will bring burger meat and buns and charcoal. If any one gets lost just call my cell 916-320-0248.

Good thread, but I am not running any. I figure who needs to look behind lol jk. I am thinking of running 720 mirror's black of course.

Great bonvo what time and area do you want to go to first. I was thinking 1pm meet up at old town the cruise over to miller park. Those who come later just show up to miller park. What do you guys think is that ok?

Ok sorry for the delay in posting these. I had a bad party night. Any way here are a few pics I shot of miller park. Down at the end they have a big u turn spot that says no parking, but I bet we could get away with shooting some pics there when you see the spot it seems almost too good. There is another park near sac city that is very big, but the parking sucks, so shooting pics is going to be hard. Let me know what you guys think. Also we need a time. Do we want to go to oldtown first? We just need a bit more input to fine tune our meet.

I went and checked out miller park yesterday. It has more of an ideal parking situation for pictures. Tree shaded bbq pitts and bench's. I took some photo's and will post them when I get back to my camera. It is really close to old town sac so it should be manageable for ever one.

Yea I think so. You want to go look around today or sunday?? Call me up. I just have to change some gaskets before the meet. I have a mean ass exhaust leak. I guess a big cam has its down sides it shakes the gaskets loose.

I just wanted you to know I reported him too.

Werd. I am working on that. The all day thing sounds good to me as well. In fact, if you guys like rock fish, I will bring some fish to the meet/bbq that was caught by me at the farallon islands.

Sweet so sept 21 it is. Now we need a time and place. I am working on the place. The park I mentioned is a bit busy on sundays. I will check it this sunday just to be sure.

What about sept 21 its a sunday, so it should work for most of us?

Sounds pretty good to me just let me check my schedule. I will post up tomorrow. Hey bugeye you know the area I am talking about right? It is like broadway and 3rd st. It is a nice little park area you just have to be careful with beverages, but it can be done I have done it. I will swing by there this sunday to see just how crowded it is. I would like to have our own area without people bothering us and or calling cops becuase of a bunch of old skool hoodlums lmao.

I am going to help bonvo organize this up. I need a week in advance to try to get the day off so when we figure it out there will be an advanced notice. Sunday sounds good to me as well.

Great he will be sold then lol. I have an idea too. We could always chill by the river I know of and have a bbq it has great parking and shaded by trees. It is near downtown sac.
