  1. Don't be retarded. Not defending Iran in any of this I'm showing what a retard Trump is for starting this war. Open your eyes!!! Perhaps led to it by his nose by Israel. He incompetently did not see the Straight of Hormuz being closed where anyone that has a brain could foresee this happening. Everyone but Trump could see that oil prices would go up and neighbouring friendly countries would also be attacked. How many times did he say the war was won? How many deadlines were set and ignored by Iran? Peace talks were a joke if Iran not interested in going. Let's not forget Trump started this war. Got into trouble, asked Europe for help and was told to go fuck himself, and rightly so. This is a complete Trump cock-up.
  2. Trump is sending Vance to Pakistan for peace talks but Iran is not going. How does that work Donald???? Unilaterally declare 'peace is restored to Iran'??? Trip cancelled, Vance in tears. So with no solid results, TACO is extending his ceasefire deadline. Just how is anything a deadline when you cave in every time it runs out?????
  3. Afternoon Keith. I drop in about once a month to The Realm. I somehow missed your original post but if you would post some of the great rolling dyno tales, that would be great!
  4. Well we must be doing something right.
  5. Appropriate? Well not the cheapest, you want something equivalent to the stock one that almost never fails. Points coils are around 1.50 ohms primary and an additional 1.5 ohms ballast resistor for a total of 3.0 ohms.Found on Datsuns to '77. EI or electronic ignition use a .75-.1.0 ohm coil and no ballast. Found on '78 and up Datsuns.
  6. Clean the plugs first? I don't think there is enough slack in the timing chain for it to slip over a tooth on the sprocket. Never heard of it happening.
  7. The fuel injection Z24i was available in April '85 in the 720. EFI will run upside down too.
  8. Poor attitude. Paying a land or property tax is a status symbol, burden though it is. Like license fees to drive your car. Why did you buy land then? and not rent? https://www.rliland.com/Voices/The-Voices-of-Land-blog/ArticleID/37/Landowner-Basics-Private-Property-Rights

    z24i eccs bad

    The Z24i was carried on into the later D21 Hardbody and WD21 Pathfinder through '89 and the Nissan Vanette into '89. If it had the cast aluminum valve cover then someone swapped it on from a Z22. The throttle bodies are similar looking, the injectors are different.
  10. Dealer is only place the correctly bent brake lines would be... and they are almost certain to be out of stock. Take the old one and measure the length with a piece of string then measure the string length. Take it with you so you can compare the fittings to pre-made lengths of brake line and bend them yourself. Get the same length or just slightly longer. Bend around a baseball bat.
  11. Well then, Rand. Go ahead and live in a world without roads, schools and infrastructure. One way or another the American Dream has to be paid for by someone. If you have bettered yourself above your peers and amassed enough money to own land then you have also elevated yourself into the position of, in some small way, paying for your services. This ain't Russia.
  12. Measure the L and W of your box and hunt on line for one. The King Cab (long wheel base) and the regular cab (short wheel base) use the same size boxes. If that helps.
  13. Put as brick on the gas pedal to avoid even more flooding by the accelerator pump. With the primary barrel now open, try removing the plugs and spinning the engine with starter to dry out the cylinders. Use a propane torch to heat up the plug tips to dry and clean them. Don't forget to remove brick... try starting.
  14. Use a jumper on both and see if the starter works with one of them. The switch may just need adjusting. There should be continuity through the interlock switch when the pedal is all the way down. Interlocks are for idiots just like the buzzer to remind you your key was left in the ignition. My '70 Dart had one. I disconnected it because if you stalled and couldn't get the engine running you could still put in gear and use the starter to move the vehicle out of harm's way.
  15. The NLSV was added in '77. Bleed it and leave it alone. The NLSV has a slight upward tilt to the front. Inside there is a steel ball that is free to roll forward and block the flow of brake fluid to the rear wheel cylinders. As weight is added to the truck box, it sags lower, increasing the ramp angle and making it harder for the ball to roll up hill and block the valve. This allows bore brake fluid pressure to the rear cylinders increasing the braking. The added weight increases rear wheel traction preventing lock up even with more fluid pressure added. Your truck will stop faster with a load than without the NLSV..
  16. Foam in the oil is good news. It means the spinning crank shaft it whipping it up onto the cylinders in quantities the oil control rings simply can't handle. The Z22 has a longer stroke so maybe the throws are also longer and closer to the oil in the pan? Lower the oil. Refill with 4 quarts and mark the dip stick. That should be the end of it.
  17. Fix the fast idle or what ever is causing it to not kick in. Choke forces an over rich mixture, what it needs is the fast idle set, to hold the throttle open slightly and it will rev up. (1,800-2,200 RPMS) This will keep it revved up and running and it speeds the warm up time. I should imagine the 32/36 has something like the original Hitachi carburetor had... The fast idle cam has steps the set screw stops against. At the choke warms and opens the cam moves and the steps lower the idle.
  18. Don't mess with the fuel shutoff switch. Under certain conditions it prevents stalling when down shifting.
  19. Stock transmission and differential viscosity is around 90W however GL-4 is recommended for transmissions and GL-5 for differentials. The anti scuff additive package that makes GL-5 suitable for differentials, makes it unsuitable for transmissions. You can run synthetic gear oil if you want but regular oil is more than enough protection. They say it doesn't, but when I switched to synthetic oil the old transmission and differential seals began to leak. I replaced the seals and that solved the problem. Your results may be different. I found the synthetic oil much thinner and it improved the up shift speed without any extra effort. Transmission just shifted gears faster and down shifting into first was quieter and eliminated grinding.
  20. A jumper wire directly from the battery will either solve the spark problem or not. If it does that voltage drop is the problem. The clutch interlock can be defeated for test purposes. Have a care as there should be two switches on the clutch pedals. One for the starter interlock and one for the fuel shut off.
  21. Any 3 way will do. Make sure you adjust the wheel cylinders. Lightly push down on the pedal with your thumb. There should be 1/16" or a couple of mm pedal travel before there is firm resistance. I doubt this is a problem.
