looking to perhaps trade my well loved 510 wagon for a 620 ext cab prefer long bed. Truck needs to be in good condition and mechanically able to travel well. not looking for a rusty project, something worthy of my wagon. Or I will accept offers over 15k. If you want more pics please contact me, as interest arises. the car has a totally never had rust body painstakingly taken to the bare metal and primed and repainted to the original awesome tan. The interior is a two tone marron and cream, front seats are subaru. New carpet, headliner etc. Dash cap as usual, rechromed front bumper with the override. Engine is the L20b, rebuilt with a header and cam. 5spd dogleg that has 2nd gear syncro weak. all new stock brakes and wheel bearings, lowered and aligned. New aluminium rad with huge fan, never runs hot. has twin mikuni HSR42 carbs freshly rejetted to lower altitude. drove this car from Colo to Okl 2 years ago. Car was purchased from this website via california. Love the car but I have need of more room in my garage. I would like to sell both my Datsuns ,521, 510 and aquire a solid 620 ext, prefer the long box. This car will drive anywhere should you purchase it, Ive trusted it several times on the open road. Solid feel at hiway speeds and runs on 15x7 rewinds with 195/45/15 rubber. I have owned the car for almost 4 years I think and I have only put 4k miles on it. Its a hanger queen yet lots of fun.$15,000

Russ, Im the guy that bought your 72 tan wagon. I need to know what the dog leg trans came out of so I can syncro it. it scrathes 1-2 shift and it has a leak where the case splits. I would appreciate your input please

Hello Datzenmike, I'm looking for a way to rebuild my L20b dizzy. It has the matchbox so I dont want to loose that, but the shaft has a lot of play in it and I think its messing with my performance. Anyway, are there parts available to rebuild the bushing/bearings inside?
Thank you
-
I know people talk about worn bushings in the distributor but I've been looking at exploded diagrams of L16/18 20B Hitachi distributors and see no replaceable bushings for the shaft.
It's likely that the aluminum casting of the distributor body is simply drilled to fit the shaft and serves as the bushing too. The casting should be more than enough to support the spinning shaft. The EI distributors don't have to push against the spring on the points, all they do is just spin. And shaft wobble might cause problems with the points opening and closing but the EI just uses magnetism to trigger the coil firing. Once triggered the EI module has a circuit that prevents multiple firings.
Not much you can do about any shaft/case wear so unless you can detect some kind of miss firing, I would leave it.
The EI does have a superior spark so it's easier for it to find a shorter path to ground. Insure that cap/rotor/coil/wires and plugs are in good shape and that the only available path to ground is through the spark plugs.

Thank you Sir, I wondered if some play was acceptable but it seems to me to be more than I would like. I can wiggle the shaft by the rotor and can also wiggle the whole distributor as well. I think this is affecting the accuracy of when the spark is delivered to each plug. I dont have a distributor curve machine so cant really tell. The engine symptoms are poor idle, slow accel, popping back through the carbs etc. My air fuel gauge shows it to go very lean under light throttle around 2500rpm. It runs best at wide open throttle. Plugs are good but on the dark side, probably from the hard start cold continual restarts.

Hey, look at that...want to sell it?
-
THANK YOU, I do not recall but I think most import cars of the 70s era did not have condenser fans, only the radiator fan. I will look into the z car set up. Thanks again.
-
Hello Crashtd420, on your a/c install did you wire both fans to come on at engine temp or one for engine temp and one for a/c compressor on? Im running the L20b with the fan clutch /water pump and wondered ,do I need an additional a/c fan? I think a pair of 7" electrics will fit outside of the condenser but its getting tight with the aluminum rad and a condenser. What do you think?
-
Thank you, Sir, I will view your work soon. curt

thank you, I have looked at this compressor, what side of the engine did you mount it on? I have also found the sd7b10 comes with the v-belt pulley. thius compressor is quite small but works well in retro fitting. did you make a pattern to build the bracket? how close is the steering box to the mounted compressor? and how is the belt adjusted? thanks for your insight curt
