My 77 KC 620

[Farmer Joe]

might go a little bigger on the tire when i get some new ones. 

 

 

 

i need to get the datsun fixed now.. 

 

wont fire up in the cold. few weeks ago when it was above 32* it started up like normal. anything under freezing and it wont hit. 

 

im starting to think the float might be getting stuck in the carb, or it might now have spark. 

 

when i try to fire it up, it smells of gas real bad after turning it over. im just too lazy to see out whats wrong. 

 

now that i have the big truck i can make a dump run to clean out the garage. 

 

more to come...

Story of my life recently.... 

[Farmer Joe]

yupp. the cold here sucks and i dont wanna be out in it more than i have to. 

 

for a while there, driving the red jefe 620 was workin fine, but it sucks dick in the snow. 

 

i did forget i got a new part for it last night.

 

jason got me an already made upper wishbone for my rear link setup. so now i wont have to run a panhard. ill get a picture of it at lunch.

 

its got an adjustable end on the single side, and has new bushings too!

 

im stoked. this is gonna make the rear setup so much easier to put together. 

[Farmer Joe]

forgot about the pic of the new suspension part..

the other links are too short, and were gonna use em on fernandos KA truck for traction bars later.

 

thats his s13 5 speed too... he picked up a whole KA swap for 300 the other night.

 

[Farmer Joe]

and i figured out why my KA truck wont start. 

 

have no spark from the coil, so i think it prolly bad.. i need to get the multimeter out and see if its getting power, or if something else is wrong. 

[wayno]

Check to see if it is getting power with the key on, you also need to remove the starter exciter wire, turn the key to the start position, and make sure it is getting power while turning it over also.

[Eagle_Adam]

is the 620 in the garage yet?

i would just cut those lowers and sleeve them with next size dom pipe....  i like the wish bone.....three link minis are where its at ...

[Farmer Joe]

i was thinking about that. 

 

i have some lower link bars from a trooper i was gonna use, but these have minitruck bushings that fit the frame mounts i have. 

[jrock4224]

i would use the bushing ones and make sure u get the right sized hardware ....... needs to fit tight in bushing sleeve ...those bolts look too small but could just be my old man eye sight

[Farmer Joe]

yeah theyre the right hardware. 

 

honestly, i just need some metal for the crossmembers and the coilover mounts. 

 

i need a few more tabs im thinkin too. gonna lay out the whole thing on the floor one of these days to get an idea of what i need.. 

[jrock4224]

time doesnt lay out on the floor well.....bring it over we will do it quick

[Farmer Joe]

i wish... if i could i would..

 

it shouldnt be too bad to setup. 

[Farmer Joe]

got a frontend off a hardbody d21 yesterday. 

 

got the lower control arms, loaded spindles and the d21 upper control arms. 

 

wont be using the uppers on the truck, but will making some uppers from them. 

 

ill get some pics when i get the parts to the house. 

[Eagle_Adam]

its tomorrow and theres no pics.... 

[Farmer Joe]

still waiting to go get them from boise...

 

soon.

[Farmer Joe]

 

[Pacific coast Datsun]

Nice antenna :rofl:

[jrock4224]

better reception?

[Farmer Joe]

yeah!

 

wait, i dont have a radio anymore...

[Farmer Joe]

got the coil wiring checked out the other day. 

 

with the key on, im getting 12v to the + on the coil. 

 

with the starter unhooked i get 12v to the + on the coil when pushing the start button. 

 

with the key on im getting 12v to the + prong on the matchbox. 

 

question. 

 

how could i test if the matchbox is sending the trigger signal to the coil? 

 

could i test the negative post when turning it over to see if its sends a signal? or does it not work that way?

 

thanks!

[Farmer Joe]

got the truck running again! 

 

the coil was bad. raided one from fernandos wifes kingcab for the moment being. 

 

 

 

all the trucks in one picture...
