Bob3 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I just bought a '67 L520 and mine only has one headlight on each side. WHY? Anyone have an answer? Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Because it's either 1) A very early '67 or 2) a '66 with the title mislabeled probably due to being on the lot after Dec '66. Most '67s have 4. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks for the answer. I'm very excited to have found this site. I have been looking for a 320 for a long time. Last week I found it and a 520. I bought both from the same guy. The best part is they were only 20 miles from my house! Now I'm the proud owner of a '63 L320 & '66 (or) '67 L520 ! ! ! Both are RUST FREE !!! Quote Link to comment

RatsunRailer67 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Anyone got any 520/521 antennas laying around they want to get rid of? I need one :D So the weber is up and going... works pretty good. Put a new cap and rotor adjusted the points on the dizzy, new plugs and wires but she still has a mean hesitation at full throttle. It kind of bounces around with the power. Sometimes it will give me full throttle some times it bogs... Any ideas???? Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 could it be that it needs more fuel? mine did it with the stock carb. fuel pump wasnt keeping up. then when i went to a rotary engine, also did it. same problem. better pump solved the prob. Quote Link to comment
RatsunRailer67 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 So, I have done a complete tune up to this old motor. Points, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, valve adjusment, timing, and i still have a dead cylinder.... Im thinking i have a burnt valve because the valves were so far out of adjusment... Will the mg head gasket work on the j13 motor? Im having trouble finding a headgasket. And i dont want to take the head off if i cant find a gasket. Any ideas???????:confused: Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Not sure about the gasket. Have you done a compression test? Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 i bought a head gasket some time ago. never used it. its up for sale. i also have piston rings, stock, .010, .020 and .030 over. all brand new. Quote Link to comment
RatsunRailer67 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Drastic, How much do you want for the headgasket? Might be interested in the rings later:blink: Quote Link to comment
RatsunRailer67 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 motors still fucked but its looking more like a ratsun everyday... Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 wow the truck is looking sweeeeeeeet!!!!! here is a pic of the gasket set. $25 shipped. and the rings are actually std, .020, .030 and .060. they are $15 shipped. if you lived closer you could have taken my whole motor for $100. it was running when i swaped it for a rotary. here are the rings...

RatsunRailer67 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Ya I definitly want the gasket set... But i still need to do a compression test. Give me a couple of days cause shes down for the count right now. But hold the gasket set for me for sure.... Thanks man. Did you reindex the tortions on yours or do the 18's just stuff the fenderwells? Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 u got it! i removed the torsion bars cuz it was on the way of the header for the rotary. its riding on 17's for now. and its in the process of being airbagged. the rear is bridged and bagged, next is the 4link. then the front cuz its a bit more challenging.

RatsunRailer67 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 does it ride terrible with the tortions totally removed? I thought about doing that but then your always on the bump stops... I was thinking about just reindexing them and removing a leaf or two in the back to drop it a bit more. Mine are 17s too but im running 235/45/17 rubber on them. So there pretty wide. I think if i go much lower in the front im going to run into rubbing issues. Did that electronic dizzy help a lot? If it did maybe i should look into that... that is after i get it running on all 4 cylinders :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 it rides rough on the bump stops. reindexing is the way to go for you. take a leaf out and you are in business. i wouldnt take out more than that. im running 205/40s on mine. no rub. i never got to put in the dizzy since i got a great deal on the rotary. before the swap i had the bars cranked down a bit.

djlotus Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Dunno how I missed this thread before, but thats a great find for $500. I love the plaid interior, pretty classy. Quote Link to comment
RatsunRailer67 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 does that thing get it with the rotary in it or what? I know where there is a early 80's rx-7 that i might be able to pickup for cheap... Give me some info. Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 MAN ITS FUN!!! now i really enjoy drivin this thing. well i did cuz i blew it up doin some crazy burnouts and stuff. its getting all new seals, bearings, eccentric shaft, rotors and a port job right now. its such an ez swap. can do it in a day or 2 if you have help. i did it alone in a weekend. usethe stock rx radiator and you just have to trim off a lil on the brackets to fit in the factory spot. youll need an electric fan. im also using the beehive style oil cooler instead of front mount. even if the front mount is better. 3 wires run the whole thing. if you decide to, i can walk you thru the whole thing. my motor is a 12a from an 82 gs. also the driveshaft will need to be shortened a couple of inches but since you have to mate the front part of the mazda to the rest of the shaft, its no biggie. it cost me 42 bucks to do the shaft. i can take pics of what ive done if you end up doin it....
