  1. Would 40's on an 828 manifold work well with a big bore L18/closed chamber head/medium cam??? THeres a set available to me...
  2. Thanks Brandon, get with the oics posting on your build!
  3. My nissan wires were made by Yazaki, but whatever you use, at least your smart enough to not use the $10 shits they sell at Kragen hahahahhahahahhaha 50 mile plug wire sets :P
  4. Installed an Accel Super Coil i had, works better!! 620 Pickup arm rest fits a 69 510! 50A OE Nissan 720 alt, it tested PERFECT! 4 speed shift knob from a Courier Is this a heat shield? I should install this... 42 years of service
  5. A few basics to check, fuel in the bowl? fuel pump moving fuel? Vacuum leaks? all carb base nuts tight?
  6. WOrk at 3am. Ewww... Then Junkyard hunting after that =)

  7. Saw a blue 520 pickup in good condition in town today, honked and gave him the thumbs up. He looked confused...

      maybe he thought you were trying to holler at him :) (wink wink)

  8. My timing gun reads 5 degrees more advanced than it really is, its a cheap equus. I have a craftsman digital one now. ANd the carb issue was when i rebuilt the weber, somehow, i swapped the primery and secondary jets... WHoops!
  9. Skib thats great, need to use on more peoples build threads!!!
  10. Pick a task and GO GO GO! Thats how i restarted my 'motivation'. One thing at a time, seats, then radio, the heater, etc
  11. Hell yes! Almost forgot these, Its a 69, with original 69 turn signals, but, it has a 70+ valance panel... Should i??? Scored these for $4 at a swap meet. Should I? lol Awesome pro-Datsun Girlfriend bought an 8" bazooka tube, she likes the boom booms! fits perfectly in the foot well of the pass side! Works GREAT in such a small car =D Yeah, a 10" sub would be more powerful, but im not one to be obnoxious.........yet......
  12. Need to re-do my valve adjustment tomorrow, get a cable throttle setup from a 620, as i hate this bellcrank crap, and it'll be completely awesome =)
  13. Finished up some side stuff like the undertray, strut bar, etc. Built my oil pressure sensor remote mount! Grease gun hoses are 1/8 NPT on both ends, and have a working pressure of over 3000psi. Used it with some sealant in the block (retapped to 1/8 NPT in the rebuild process) then to a brass coupler to a sensor block. I think this will work out nicely! Dug this old pics up of my 68 in the good 'ol days! Avenue of the Giants on the north CA coast. ANd my awesome girlfriend bought this stuff as a surprise gift when i got the datsun road ready again!
  14. All the more reason i want to get rid of mine, good GOD thats a nightmare! I have a 97 and it CANT be easier!
  15. 'Stoffregenmotorsports' wasnt kidding! Corrected a few mechanic errors, (me, whoops!) and timing inaccuracies due to a cheap equus timing gun. THis thing ROMPS!!!
  16. Carbs been fixed/tuned, timing corrected, this things a rocket!

  17. The D21 seems to be a PITA for anything...the end of simple nissans...
  18. I would avoid them... go to importedcarparts.com Tsubaki kits are top notch!
  19. Thats gonna be a lot of work, but if you have the resources to restore it, albeit with non stock parts, go for it!, This is neat!!!
  20. Is this Vinyl that will survive outdoors on a window? I ask because my Gumby sticker already shriveled up and started peelng! =(
  21. I'd be happy to keep the engine running at idle with the headlights on!!! LOL Current idle is 1300rpm, headlight on, 900, highbeam, slow draw down to a shaky stall.
  22. DrivingDatsunDaily once again! Breakin the engine in day by day =D
