wayno Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 It looks like it works good, is 3 minutes it, or is that just where you cut it off? Looks like a firm ride to me. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds like it is running good. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 thanks guys yeah, the roads here suck.. it is pretty limited on suspension travel tho.. lol wayno, i figured out the 3 minute cutoff.. camera has a setting to create a new file at a certain amount of minutes. ive since turned that off. 2 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 It looks like you need more kingcab, you look kinda squished in there, that short shifter is nice, not a lot of throw. :) Sounds great. Bumpy roads :lol: No suspension equals bumpy ride, but no suspension means you don't bottom out as often either. :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It looks like you need more kingcab, you look kinda squished in there, that short shifter is nice, not a lot of throw. :) the space isnt bad... i fit in a single cab just fine too if you can believe that.. the shifter was from a z car, and i cut and re-welded it at the wrong angle. it worked out well enough though. video of the KA.. 2 Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 lol, it runs okay.. been driving it to work the last few days as the GMC is about to fall apart.. it needs tires, belts, hoses, tierods... datsun starts up pretty well in the morning cold.. i bet the neighbors love me firing this thing up at 5 in the morning lol been takin it easy on the freeway when i drive in and home, and it seems to help the oil consumption. we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Any chance that the dip stick is wrong and it's actually over full? Does an oil change equal full on the stick or do you just fill it up to the line? 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 im pretty sure its the right stick. takes 4 qts like normal and shows its right at the full mark. it smokes on hard accell pretty bad, so im confident its a combo of bad rings and or bad valve guides/seals.. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Really bad seals will drip oil down the stems after shut off and sitting. This is characterized by a blue puff on restart. A Qt. every 50 miles is way wrong and has to be rings.Or leaks? Any oil on the snow when sitting??? :lol: Maybe only pushed out when driving? 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 no leaks other than where the distributor pedestal bolts on the timing cover. it leaves a spot maybe the size of a nickel when i leave it in a spot over night. like i said, i think the rings are toast.. itll get torn down before canby. at the least im gonna put new rings, rod bearings, and reseal it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 it would be neat.. but unlikely... so check this shit out.. sucks when it does this.. it wont idle down, it starts missing really bad. i really wish winter would be over already... 1 Quote Link to comment
