  1. I don't have one for sale, but I've seen a pair for sale locally that I could pick up for you. Some guy on Tri-Cities WA Craigslist (kpr.craigslist.org) is selling a 32/36 DGAV and a 32/36 DFAV, with a Redline rebuild kit, at least one filter, filter covers.. I'm not sure I saw the adapter plate you'd need.

     

    I would have bought the rebuild kit for mine, but he's only selling it as a package deal. I think he wants $200. Look it up and let me know if you want me to pick it up for you. (You pay me shipping, of course).

  2. Ok, so flatcat has been bugging me to update my project, and he's right. Where to begin?

     

    Well, I finally found a Weber adapter from an awesome ratsun member, and when I pulled the stock Hitachi off, I figured out why I had an idle issue. Someone had taken what looks like a steel drift to the bottom of the primary butterfly. I can only assume that it was seized up and the were trying ti get it to open?! Either way, they bent the hell out of it, so even with the throttle "closed", it wouldn't make it down to idle. Anyway, the Weber is on there now and drinks like a fish. 16 MPG and I can smell gas on the freeway. This is with the idle mixture screw almost all the way in. Maybe it's way over jetted? Maybe I need a fuel pressure regulator?

     

    The headliner still hasn't gone in, and I've been busy working on getting my parts truck down to the frame so I can get the disc brakes and the ball joints. All new suspension and steering components on the way, most of then here. I also pulled the head on my parts truck L18 and found that my A87 head is a peanut! New rings, bearings, valve seals and gaskets on the way, too.

     

    New bed sitting out back that someone made into a trailer. Only a couple small dings and no rust to speak of.

     

    Since I'm falling asleep writing this, I'm going to leave it at that. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

  3. BUMP. Still got all this? Any rust on the door or the hood? Any damage, other than the mirror holes in that door? Like in the bottom where all the water always collects? I'm up in Kennewick, but I might drive down there for the right stuff.
