thanks for the info guys. I was able to get hagerty to insure me, told them able the web price on the truck and the work i plan to do and they bit. Thanks again. know to find a tail light.

yeah ive spoken to mostly all of them. Iam waiting on one more( american Modern)

been thru 5 different companies, Hagerty was the first one i tryed

I have a clean record and keep the truck in the garage. The insurance said the truck has to be in show quality for them to insure it. i put a $5000 worth on it and the underwriters said its not worth that much and it needs to be more then $10000 for them to insure it.

Hi everyone, iam to the piont where i want to take the ratsun to the local show. Ive been trying to get insurance from all the classic company with no luck. has anyone had this issue. i live in fl.

put 2 ground on. 1 engine to body and 1 frame to block. :angel:

so ordered tail lights from thailand. got them today and are way to small and are damaged. does anyone know of a good source for 71 521 tail light covers? I wish there was a link on the forum for vendors, if there is i havent seen it and been looking hard without a functional search function. thanks

its a bad ignition switch, i jumped the acc to the start side and i can shut her down in the off position. but if i jump straight to acc it will stay on. i think i can live with that.

After i wired in the matchbox dist car will start but wont shut off. i have an aftermarket ignition switch, any ideas on where to start?

done this a million times in eletronic dist cars. i cant figure it out on a points set up. Is there a grounding issue or am i missing somthing here? ignition power(red), green wire to the neg side of coil, and black ground to the body. white not used( dash light)

pertronix is about 175 for the coil and the wire upgrade. Hot-spark is 85 out the door. has anyone used them and what are the pros and cons. thanks

I ran a temporary 12volt line from battery to carb and the car starts and idles, but sputters and back fires when I try to drive. I checked both sets of wires for a source of power and both are died. Nothing in the cluster works.

hello everyone! the carb was replaced on this truck and i have the old one. new carb has a one wire solenoid on it and the old one has a two plug. i noticed the new carb was conected to the temp sender plug. i have 2 wire connections coming off of what looks like a neutral or fuel switch above that connection there are 2 plugs that are disconnected, color might be green and yellow and yellow. i also have 2 cut wires next to coil oneblue and red and the other black. ive been looking at the wire diagram for about 4hrs off and on. still looks like spagetti to me. oh and how do i post pics on here?

truck still has the timing plate on it, 10 degress. so the bottom screw facing up is just a hold down screw? only the top screw facing down is the timing adjustment?

Hello YaLL! since my last post i got the car running, i blow out lines, replaced the pump(old one was good), rebulit the carb again, and replaced the fuel filter. truck had 2 issues 1, the fuel lines were all the wrong size. lines were sucking air into the system. the second issue was the carb. it was sucking air from one of the gaskets. the aftermarket builder put some type of glue to hold a stripped screw in. drilled, tapped and a new bolt and done! now i looking for help with setting the timing. iam not used to seeing 2 bolts for timing adjustment. Any thoughts?

hello everyone! new to the Datsun seen, have a 71 521 with a carb issue. has a rebuilt carb on it and was running pretty bad. i removed it, cleaned it and now the bowl will not fill. I replaced the pump, removed the filter (tempo)and filled the tank with gas. not sure whats up with this thing. thanks in advance.
