Anybody Seen One Like This?

[OL YELLER]

OK boys and girls....I saw this valve cover at the JCCS show

anybody seen one like it?...Know where I might find one?:)

Never seen one with "1300" on it.....

Never seen one Ron but have heard of them. The L13 appeared in 1968 in the Nissan Bluebird and produces 77 hp. The L13 engine was not available in the United States. There was also an L14 for non North American markets too.

Thats Derek Garniers micro monster. The valve cover isn't the only thing 1300, the motor is too. It is an L13.

 

Had to turbo it to keep up with those L16's and 18's :)

 

The wheels are for sale if anyone wants them.

 

You may find that valve cover south of the border, (not the Canadian border) L13's were more common down there. As were solid axle 510's.

That is cool guys...i have never seen one and did not realize that it was available..(maybe somewhere in back country mexico?)..That same car...beautiful by the way, also had "Datsun1300" sise fender badges...so cool

I've got a 1300 510, missing that cover though.

Ive been looking for one a good number of years and finally have tracked one down. I should have it in a month. My car is a three on the tree, bench seat 4 wheel drum 68 with 38000miles. all original except the valve cover, 1 headlight, voltage regulator, and headlight relay.

If anyone here has any of those parts, let me know.

I need them to complete the car, also need a 68-69 drivers side fender too....good luck there right.

Hi Denis, if you are trying to stay pure stock this might not help. I have a voltage regulator in very good shape from a '75 truck. It's for an L motor and the only difference would probably be the plastic connector. Just checked that I didn't throw it out... has 6 wires on a round white plastic connector. This could be changed with the period correct one I'm sure. Anyway check and see if you can use it, if you can, your names on it.
