So we wanted just a 2 in. pipe nothing special just something to push out wut were trying to shove out.lol So we called around and got the cheapest bid 140 so we took it and should of remembered you get wut you pay for. We ask the guy to match up with the stock one and hang it in the original spots as before and we got the hangeres of the original one clened em up and even gave him the old exhuast to match up best he could. So he used the old hangers but dident even look at the onld exhuast. he was suppose to go over that bar (idk what you call it) but went right under. He did a pretty shitty welding job too. He obviously had it up to high and made it look pretty ugly.

Got it running WOW WOW what a difference! Its so much faster then before. Sounds great and runs great too I LOVE IT! The best feeling EVER when you here her start and that smell of the the new filter blowing out it smells so good.lol Best smell ever. And the sound of that exhuast so sick. Me and my dad took it out that night Went up the hill and found a staight stretch, got it to a 100mph. befor like 80 on a realy good day.lol Hits 80 90 with no problem at all now. I am now always getting a weber for a datsun. Cant wait to get my dads running. He has a brand new weber wainting for him.

 

Cleaned up and primered and painted black a bunch of little rusty parts in the engine to clean it up and make it nice. I just wire wheeled them clean and rough em up then wiped them down with laquir thinner, primered, then black.

Heres where I cleaned up and primered where the battery sits and layed, royal blue spray paint the best to match that we had laying around. But layered it on there to protect it from getting all rusty again. Anytime soon that is. You can barely notice with the battery on there that its a little diff color.

I like the padding/carpet idea but when I redid mine I thought it was gonna rub on the window knob so I just did straight plether. Check it out.

Also, the bed looks nice, though I'm wondering if Bondo in a bed is a good Idea? Never really thought about it. one bump with something and it might chip off maybe? Meh. I like so far.

Ya i here ya and thanks for the info but i have my dad and 3 other sample engines laying around that have all been modded different. My dads had a datsun and done this his whole life. And the whole painting thing is more of a learning experience and to have fun. No serious in that. But the engine is seriouse and my dads all up on that and i swear he's a genius. But if you have anything you see that maybe a big problem and can help I am more welcome to here them. thanks

 

No vacuum line goes to the air filter for the Weber, that hole on the bottom of the air cleaner is for the PCV (the fumes and what-not from your valve train), the only vacuum line goes to the bottom, on the engine side.
