Good510

As soon as I get it legal.. Lol, should be there next month

Yellow SE bronco, black freeagent stileto rick thorne edition. And of course my 71 dime

New door panels, cheap.... I used replacement carpet, looks ok, better than nothin.....

Ya I need some new wheels, but $$$ one thing at a time, gotta do some cuttin for now to get it low..... I removed the starter seliniod, and went back to original parts..... No I had just washed the car, left over water spots lol, no leaks from the motor at all, runs strong, just need an exhaust system for it, its running off just the down pipe right now ( sounds cool though)

So I have been on here for a while, im in mesa az and bought my 71 2dr 510 back in febuary 2011..... I bought it from a guy on this site, was a great deal and I have wanted one for a long time...... Here are the pics..... And after, paint, l20 swap and some long nights in the garage...... so thats what I have.so far, my dime runs great, just need a a few things to get it on the road but not much.... Sorry for the cell phone pics in black and white, I cant get enough black n white pics.... Lol

ya im pickin one up this weekend, thanks

again thanks for all the help, here is video of its first start up and running:

Ok thanks to all of your guys input I now have a running 510!!!!!! At this point it still needs a few things to get on the road: need to rebuild or get a new carb, brakes, drive shaft needs to ne installed and other little things lights etc. But again thanks for all the input on the coil and dist, would have takin alot longer to do without your guys help

Ok so, Im getting very close now, power going to coil and from coil to dist, now I havent checked timing yet, but will tomorrow. I fixed the problem with the key switch, installed a new wire from key switch to starter. Everything works good now. im still not getting spark so I figure ethier dist/cap and rotor/or plugs. I will say it agian, thanks for all the help, ratsun form peeps I hope to see some of you and your dimes out there at some datsun meets one day!!!

Car wasnt an auto, checked all of the above, and no wires near the trans and the hole is factory cut, however the is alot of splicing done to the reverse light switch, which was laying on the floor board of the passenger side, really messy job and it looks like more wire were messed with, ...... Well I am going to check on all of this and try to get this dome running by the end of the week

So how can I tell if it was an auto?

Ya starter is good, I have been using a jumper wire to try to start the car

Haniz, I used the clutch and t/o from the l20b, I asumed this was the way to go, im I wrong? I did swap out the pan and oil pick up from my old l16, along with the carb. I believe the key ignition is bad, the tumbler seems very sticky and sometimes wont turn, and when trying to start the motor with the key nothin happens (but) I do get power to everything else, (lights on dash) so I replaced the spade conector at the starter but nothing still. Well time to go put all this info to work, I will update the progress. Thanks len and haniz, lots of great info

Wow thanks for all the input, I will try all of this tomorrow, im currently not at home to try all of this... I have built several hondas in my time and been apart of other forums and I have never got quick help like this, thanks, im just so ready to drive my very first dime, never have before, cant wait!!!!!

Ok so I am swaping a l20b into my 71 510, motor is in and everything is hooked up, but it wont start, I just noticed that the dist is a matchbox, and the wiring is set up for the stock l16, I saw some write ups but im still un clear on what to do. Also my ignition key wont start the car. I know these are rookie questions but I am new to 510 s and I dont know a whole lot about carb motors and these old set ups. If anyone lives in or near rhe mesa az area and wouldnt mind tryin to help that would be great!!!!
