kiznook Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 What's up with the booster? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Beebani, can you tell me more about those electric air valves? Is that what they are? How much pressure can you run through them? How big is the valve that opens and closes..1/4", 1/2"? How much are they? Are there bigger ones? Sorry if that's a lot of Qs but seeing them just gave me an idea. Any help or direction to info would be appreciated muchly. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Looking good dude! I like the fuel pump bracket, the one I bought came with a beer cosy and a hose clamp :( Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 What's up with the booster? You mean booster and master cyl? They're out of an '85 720. Since I'm running discs all the way around, I figured I better have enough power to push them. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Looking good dude! I like the fuel pump bracket, the one I bought came with a beer cosy and a hose clamp :( Yeah, well this one came with shitty clamps and "self-tapping" screws, what a fucking joke! I used Behringer hyd. hose clamps, much better!;) Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 jason how close are you to firing it up? And wow that booster looks huge in there...:D Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Mark, I've got to put the right throttle body on there (thanks Slodat!) and finish up the wiring...........hopefully by the end of this week. Radiator is going out today to Mac's radiator to have the lower outlet moved to where it belongs. Quote Link to comment

BEEBANI Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have to put the rad back in and clean up some wiring, but it should be rolling on its own in a couple of days! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 We want so pics :D Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Maybe if I make it to the shop today. Figured out which wire I need from the key so I have power while cranking. Couldn't leave last night til I figured that out. Still haven't figured out what's up with the alt. wiring though, tried both wires on the battery and the light never came on. Have to find my diagram for wiring up an internally reg. alt. to a 620. I think maybe that's why it kept dying last night; I'm running off of batt. power. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Its hard to say why it was dying last night, it could be a few different things. vacuum leaks are my guess. Did you get the idle are tube hooked up? Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yeah, I had that hooked up the last time I talked to you, and it still died. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I drove it out of the shop last night. Still haven't figured out my electrical problems. I've narrowed it down to being on the truck side, I think my ignition switch is shot. I have no power anywhere while cranking, checked all wires coming from key switch. Going to pull the switch out and check it today. I also have a vacuum leak somewhere on the motor, takes forever to get it started. I'll try to get some pics today. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 The ignition was my guess. I would just add a momentary switch to the starter. That way all you have to do is turn the ignition to the "on" posision, then hit the hidden button. Also did you hook up the orange wire? Its the cold start wire and it does really help.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Jason good to hear its almost running. Wish i could help more w/ the electrical problems on the KA. Look forward to pics. Quote Link to comment

BEEBANI Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Jason good to hear its almost running. Wish i could help more w/ the electrical problems on the KA. Look forward to pics. It's actually the 620 wiring that I'm having trouble with. Damn tweakers!:mad: Quote Link to comment
nismopu Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I seem to recall the same thing whem trying to start my truck for the first time only to realize I had a bad ground on the 240 harness. I kept thinking it was my switch also. When I go home to night I will look to see which wire i tied into for the alt. light and see if that wont help you. peace. Quote Link to comment
