It really is an infection...Datsunitis

[datzenmike]

I assume the tire mount is like the 521/620. There's a winding mechanism that has a chain that retracts and holds the spare up under the back just behind the rear end. There's a hole in the bumper and body to put the crank in and you turn it down to lower the tire. The trouble with them is they need to be greased every couple of years or the gears inside rust and seize. Nothing like a flat and you can't get the spare down.

so the other day i changed the points in my distributor and my car wouldn't start again. I adjusted it about every way possible and it still wouldnt start. I put a different distributor in and it still wouldnt start, so im going for the electronic upgrade. My problem is this

it's hitting what seems to be an emissions pipe of some sort. The electronic distributor is bigger than the old one and it just wont fit. Does anyone know if it will work if i move the wires and put it in the other way around?

[Jassifrass]

:P

The vaccuum canister on my Matchbox dizzy is pointed 180 degrees in the opposite direction.....

 

 

[Jassifrass]

sweet, thanks. will i have to re do the wires, like the firing order? I have a book so its fine if i do, i suppose i should just look there....what is that radiator from?

[INDY510]

It's a Griffin radiator from Summit........ it's kinda popular for 510 race cars....

 

 

I think your dizzy is just on backwards........ .. it seems like there are only 2 ways to line up the spline.... . and that is the only way I could get everything to fit right.

 

 

Make shure to get a good ground wire to the matchbox......... .. REMEMBER: the matchbox grounds the coil... (DO NOT ground the coil):

 

 

The "+" positive wire is the Blk/wht stripe wire from the ignition switch (12v power when the key is "on")

 

 

I don't get how your vaccum canister is pointing the opposite direction.......... some of the L16 and L18 pedastals are too tall,,, and the rotor will spin freely......... .. just make shure the rotor is engaged,, and not loose

Flip the flat plate and run it 180 out, not a prollem!

[datzenmike]

This is a California dizzy for manual 710.

 

 

That pipe... does come from the intake and go down to the lower rad hose inlet to the motor?

[Jassifrass]

its a non matchbox dizzy from nukeday...i have no idea what that pipe is. it looks like it goes in under the fuel pump, i didnt look at where it starts. i just put it in the other way, im done for the day as i need a bolt i dont have :( i dont know if it works or not yet

[Jassifrass]

ok so i got the dizzy in and the car still wouldnt start so Skib came down today and we replaced the chain, he did most the work but i get to put a lot of it back together now as we didnt get it all done today

[Pumpkn210]

Good Luck!

[Skib]

 

[Jassifrass]

My father was into Leather Work when he was 16 , quit when he was 28 or 30 ? really liked it ,,,

 

^^^ Schweet ! "don't ask don't tell" <--- nuff said !

[Jassifrass]

my dad has been doing leather work since he was like 16 i think. He doesnt to a whole lot anymore and these visors were for the blue truck so he's taking his sweet time with them. It's cool though he taught me enough that I have made myself like 4 purses

[I'm BLUE]

Very Nice ! 4 purses hand made ,,, ---> very cool <--- !!! ,,, it's always the stuff you fix or make that's just the best ! :D

 

There was a guy who just started making duct tape wallets on the news a few years back in portland ---> turned it into a business online !

 

I know INDY510 has been looking for a hand-made :lol:

datzenmike I never knew ^^^ :lol:

 

I sorry mike I had to edit that ^^^ ;)

[420n620]

if all these ideas have not worked, check ur rotor, just maybe its got a small crack on it which will direct the spark right to ground, just a thought.

 

OH and get a pic of u 2 gurls working on the Datsun, thats got to be a rare sight to see.. ;)

[nismo dr]
