Recommended Posts

hay guys i got a 1979 620 that needs lots of help and iv been reeding the forums for the past cupple of weeks trying to and figure out whats been going on with my little datsun. i figured out that i need a timing chain kit because im short a chain tencher and theres a few other things wrong with the truck. But its a 5 speed and it is slow to take off and i need some help bring it back to life ...

Are you 100% sure your missing the tensioner? Have you taken the timing cover off? It sounds like you may have other issues. I'm fairly new my self and don't claim to be a mechanic of any sorts but if you were missing the tensioner I would think that you would be able to hear it slapping around and would cause you more problems than just slow accel. How long has it been since it has had a tune up? New plugs (correct gap), cap, rotor, points if you have them? Like I said I'm no mechanic, just tryin to help.
