Eagle_Adam Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 NM, looked thru ur thread, what LED's did you use? Quote Link to comment
paisa13 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 NM, looked thru ur thread, what LED's did you use? One on the left is for the tach-BA9S led and the one on the right for the speedo and other gauge- T10 wedge led. Since I got them from different suppliers the tach led color didn't match exactly but it's close enough! I'm just happy to have any light at all! Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 1200 tachs have a flat plastic face without the black nipple. That could be a 620 tach or it's been changed already. Loose the Fram oil filter. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Found my 1200 tach I got at pick n pull a few years ago in my garage! I attempted to hook it up but couldn't and after reading a few write ups on how to wire it into a 620 I was still to dumb to figure it out so I had Datsun Dave help me out! Got it figured out and it works, once I clean it all up and mount it in the dash ill post up some more pictures of which wire goes where incase there are others like me with electrical disabilities! looks just like my 620 tach! 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Your L20B looks like a pre '78 and I see you have the L18 intake and exhaust on it. This is by far the best combo for the U67 head. Did you drill out the head water passages for the intake? I see you have the return hose connected. Is it working? Also your cab or the rad support is newer than a '74 Quote Link to comment
paisa13 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 This was the tach before i put on the white vinyl! pretty sure its a 1200 tach since its induction!

Also your cab or the rad support is newer than a '74 Intake and exhaust are from my original L18, i didnt drill anything but as far as i know everything is working properly because it runs awesome. Truck was sitting for a few years, and engine has less than 1000 miles so i was using the cheap fram filters to break it in still. Core support was a donor from ]2edeYe and radiator was from a newer 620 also. Nothing is original on my truck anymore it seems... :huh: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 This was the tach before i put on the white vinyl! pretty sure its a 1200 tach since its induction! Yes it is. Had one I found in a 620. Had the flat plastic face on it. Cut up a spare face to get the cone shape. It was inductive also.

Mine was a '78 but has a '74 or earlier rad support, As it sits right now the only thing that is 620 is the cab and the tail lights and only the tail lights are the original. Quote Link to comment

paisa13 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Old headliner was toast so i decided to attempt of making a replacement! Went to the fabric store and bought a yard of black vinyl Had a lady from my church add some stitch work for the bows :D Here it is installed. Not perfect but im happy and not too bad for about 15.00 worth of fabric. Just have to do something about the visors next. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 A horse is shivering somewhere... Na I'm just kidding, those colors really pop with the black background. Be sure your windshield doesn't leak this winter and keep those boot dryer bags handy to absorb moisture in the cab. Get several and rotate them through the heater in the house. Even rock salt for driveways will absorb water out of the air. Quote Link to comment
