SSSix20 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hey Guys, I just drug out my dads 73' 620 pickup. It needs a bit of work but luckily he never gets rid of anything, (he bought a ton of spare parts from a datsun dealership in the 70's when it went out of business). It already has all the SSS engine parts, and SU sidedrafts. All the this "old school" stuff is new to me, so hopefully I can learn a lot from this forum! A little elbow grease goes a long ways!

andros Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 What do I need to do to get side draft carbs on my 620? I hear from z internets that 240z carbs can and has been made to work. Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 My niece helped me change wheels on my 240z. She was using an open end wrench which she took out of the tool bag. She was maybe a little over a year old. Cute pic. Quote Link to comment
ACRusty Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I finally found some pics of the 73 these are from 1977 not too long after I bought it. These were the first wheels I bought I think I paid @ $150 which was alot of money when your working part time at the grocery store after school making $2.65/hr.It's good to see the cutest granddaughter in the world helping her dad fixed it back up.:) Quote Link to comment
