motavated Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have been broke and my truck acting stupid... I bought a new junkyard timing marker and pulley. I also got a new vacuum advance for the distributor. But that has not arrived yet. The only thing I have done is this. its a valance Ben gave me and I modified. Its still needs some body work. But this valance is for the chin spoiler I got. Let see what else will happen in the future... I am also thinking of raising it back up! Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 After waiting and waiting for the vacuum advance I just told nissan to give me my money back. Its in "back order" and its never ever going to come in. SO! I went to shop around and Pronto Auto parts had a reman distributor for 130 with tax. The only thing it does not have is the module. Its coming in on Friday. Maybe by Sunday I will have her running again. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 How you know its the vaccum adv? I have had vac adv locked up solid and still run ok. whats the exact proplem? I always ck the timming settings. mechanical and then electrical. ck the valve clearance.If thats all good I will assume the moto part is GOOD. ck the dizzy shaft for lots of wiggle. if idle good but at high RPM it cuts out it could be the dizzy. or maybe carb.

motavated Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I got them from moon eyes in santa fe springs ca. I like them because they are stainless steel. No rusty! Quote Link to comment

hessianben Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oooooh that chinnie looks so gangster!! Did those dizz pedestals work? Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not exactly in the center but whatevers... That is also that valance you gave me. Its being used and hopefully abused! That is what I was going to tell you. I learned that your 4 cylinder dissy pedestal is the same for a 1980 280zx. I was using a 280zx pedestal but I thought it was not the same as the 4 banger dissy. When I got yours. THEY LOOKED EXACTLY A LIKE! So i looked up the part numbers for a 280zx and a 1980 720 pickup l20b.... SAME PART NUMBER!!!!! THANKS MAN! Sorry buddy! If i would of known I would of not bottered you about that... I am saying this so that other people could know... Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Still need a timing light? Hit me up after 5pm monday (O snap that's today :blink: ) :D Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I found some early pics of my truck. This is like a week after a got it. The original l18 had a bad head but I am pretty sure the block was still good. (should of kept it).... This is how she is today. 5 engines, 2 transmission, and one rear end later. This is how she is... My next task is get some money and paint it. But When?... Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Love how your truck sits Adam. we can do a pretty damn good rattle can or roller job ourselves you know... $50 in cans and some tape and sandpaper... :) Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Last night I had a pretty good vision on how I wanted it to look. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I am going to sketch it out! Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 If anyone is still looking for headlight eyelashes, these are available... Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 ^ LOL! So the first thing I needed to do is get some new wheels. I HAVE been looking for a sex I mean set like this for a while. HERE THEY ARE! 15x10 us indy mag They match 14x6 us Indy mags I have right now. Having a matching set is what I have been looking for for quite a while! I am glad I got them for 40 buxs... You can say possible the tires are nooo good. You can run them and go around the block. But nothing more than that. HEY BEN! What size are you running on your red rear cragars on your 521? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 15 x 10 ?...wow! You can run a 295-50-15 like Steroid or..stretch a set of 195-50-15's onto them. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I did put them on today and they stick out a good three inches. They look weird. I installed 235 50 r 15 and they look good on the rim. But man do they stick out! I might need to find a shorter 521 DIFF to make them fit better. I heard the 521 diff is shorter. On the way home from the tire shop on tire got flat and I scratched the fucken lip... So I installed the stock sloted mags. I will post pics tomorrow to show both styles.... I might have to do a thread... on which wheels are better. Quote Link to comment
