Radiant-Designer Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 damn me for being impatient... just bought the weber kit.... and alt and thermostat working on slider and new rubber all the way around. speaking of the weber kit, I was reading a few places about the fuel pump may put too much into it, is this an issue? or was that for some... just wondering if I should invest in a regulator while I am at it.

datzenmike Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Shouldn't be a problem for a new Weber. The older tired Webers are sensitive to pressure over 3PSI. Try it and if there is a problem fix it later. Quote Link to comment
justin 620 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I bought mine a year ago and haven't had an issue with it yet. You may need to adjust the fuel/air mix a lil, but that's not a big deal at all. Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 ?Yeah from my experiance with webers and aircooled vw, i had to reduce pressure down to 3psi, and Ive never had one set up correct right out of the box. Anyone have an idea what size fuel line I will need so I have it ready and dont have to run to the store later for it Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 hmmm in my haste I didnt realize there were two options. Manual and Electric choke..... hope I ordered the right one! Quote Link to comment

cruznude Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good truck! Don't forget to put some good mirrors on there when its done as they really show up the truck..:cool: Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 yeah i got little 4" peek hot rod mirrors on there now, which look better than the HUGE ones that were original but cant see much, if anything with them. I just got back from Cali late last night so today I will be getting all my packages from the post office. I ordered the Weber kit and am just hoping that its the right one, I ordered the electric choke one without even thinking about it. Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Dual 40s.... Best upgrade i've done.. Evar! Quote Link to comment
justin 620 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 And if ya wanna have a lil more fun when driving, pick up a sway bar! Don't quote me on this, but I believe you can get one off a pre '77 620 and it will bolt right on... Quote Link to comment

Don't quote me on this, but I believe you can get one off a pre '77 620 and it will bolt right on... I think so too. My '78 didn't have one but I got an earlier one and the holes are there and threaded too. Quote Link to comment
justin 620 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I actually just got one for my truck! Got it from a '75 620, it fits, the only thing that sucks is that the holes at the end of the bat itself are a lil off, and you need bolts about 2 Inches longer for the connecting rod (not sure of the correct word for them).

ggzilla Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have a stock 620 alternator, it is a 35A unit. There is also a 38A unit for A/C models. The 35A unit works fine, powers a stereo, etc. The 60A unit comes from later Datsuns like 720, A10 (new 510) or B310 (210) -- from the early 1980s. It is not a direct bolt-on for the 35A unit, it is larger, requires bracket mods and a different fan belt. Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 It is not a direct bolt-on for the 35A unit, it is larger, requires bracket mods and a different fan belt. Bolt-on For Me. No Problems: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Sure? Mine would hit the grease nipple on the idler arm. Used a 720 block mount to move it upward 1/4", 280z lower rad inlet pipe and shorter fan belt. Worked barely. Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Arg, I just ordered one from a later 510, I hope it bolts on fine with no issues. Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 what if you were to run an inch smaller belt to pull it in closer to the motor away from the idler mike? Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I Didn't Do Anything, Yet I Still Have Plenty Of Clearance Maybe Because I Don't Have A Grease Nipple On The Idler Arm :blink: And I Would Think Forcing A Smaller Belt Would Cause Bad Pulley Alignment :unsure: Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 technically you would not be forcing anything. thats what that little adjuster there is for :) and how would anything be out of anignment? Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 You Can't Pull The Alt Any Closer Because It's Already Touching The Water Inlet So You Would Be Tilting The Alt Causing The Pulley To Be Off Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 weber kit is in, alreay more fun to drive, we will see how much fun I have at the pumps now ;) Where would be a good place to pick up a sway bar? Next I think I will look for a 5 speed trans too. Then disc brakes come spring. And a new stereo system somewhere in there too. going to have to figure out why the heater doesnt work too, getting chilly up here. also just got my parts in from autozone (took 2 weeks to get here, wtf) so I got the new alt from the 81 510, that will get put in soon.

Most 620s' before 77 that don't have front discs should have one, you could probably find one on here... You will need 3/8x8in bolts (grade 8) lock nuts, and custom spacers (but that's just a matter of find a piece of metal pipe that fits around the bolt and cutting it to length. New bushings would be advisable, 12.99 at autozone! Edited September 8, 2011 by justin 620 Quote Link to comment
