Okay so I got the auto out turn out its about 5" longer than the dogleg so I'll have to order a new one. It also has a different wires and connectors, and a couple of wires that aren't connected to anything at all. There's 2 blue, 2 red, and 2 yellow which aren't attached to anything besides the connector. Can anyone explain what each are for so I can figure out which I need to keep. I'm going to use a GPS speedometer so I just need the ones that make it work plus the Tach. EDIT: Searched it like I should have derp datzenmike, on 16 Oct 2012 - 7:05 PM, said: The two automatic interlock wires Black/Yellow stripe need to be joined and soldered together. Thes prevent the starter from working unless in PARK or NEUTRAL. Without the interlock switch they need to be joined. The two reverse light wires, Red/Black stripe need to be connected to the reverse light switch on the dogleg. The reverse switch is located on the passenger (right) side, on the rear or tailshaft. In the picture below it's the upper left switch (just above the 63A#2 stamp). The wires can go to either terminal.

So when i was removing my l20b from the stand the lower dowel apparently came off and I can't find it anywhere. I have another on my L18 and have been trying to get it off without breaking it. anyone have a good way of going about this?

The L20b came out of an old racecar so it should have the manual pilot bushing but I wasn't aware of that good to know. As far as I know and have found I just need to reverse the XMember, I'll find out in a week or so when I start putting stuff together.

Link please @ DatsunMike Thanks for the info, that'll save me a few headaches down the road @ LenRobertson Yeah its a 200mm flywheel and I ordered a complete kit. I heard that there was some piece missing from the pedal box of autos but there is a spot for the clutch pedal. @BananaHamuck Thanks for the info I could definitely pull that off. Any chance you have another one of those pedals left that you're willing to part with though? None of the JYs I know around here have any 25+ year old nissan/datsuns

So I'm swapping in a L20b to my 710 and only have a flywheel to attach to it so I decided to do the manual swap I've been planning as well. I've gotten most of the parts I need, stock style MC, clutch kit on the way, a 63A 5spd Dogleg trans with wire harness and most of the shifter linkage, and motivation to get the car on the road again after 2 years. From what I can tell it'll be a straightforward swap but I'm caught up on 2 things right now. 1) I need a clutch pedal still and being on the east coast parts stock are basically non-existent. So I've been looking at Tilton pedal assemblies but they seem a little past my level of experience. Is there an aftermarket pedal assembly that can use the stock MCs and that can be fairly easily installed(Drill a few holes and run line to the MC) or any option I've overlooked? 2) With the 3 speed still partly in the car(Engine is pulled) I measured it's length and found its 1-2" longer than the Dogleg, will this require me to have the driveshaft modified? I was told from multiple sources I wouldn't but people can be wrong and nothing ever goes as planned lol.

Yeah I didn't have one when I initially did it and thought it wouldn't matter since I was pulling the motor anyway, boy was I wrong. I had tried what you said before I posted but I tried it again and it worked lol goddamn miracle. Thanks for the help now I just have to get the rest of the trans bolts to move.

So my 710 has been sitting with half a L18 in it for a solid year or 2 now and I finally got the motivation to work on it again. I had hastily removed the head last I worked on it and now need to remove the rest of it so I can swap in a built L20b I have. Problem is I cant remove the driveplate bolts because the head is off and the timing chain gets caught up when I try to move the plate around to get to the bolts. Short of rebuilding and replacing the head onto the engine(No cam or towers on it) are there any ways I can go about detaching the engine from trans so i can pull it out.
