Cruzilla Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I bought this for 500 dollars and drove off with it.Now my good buddy sick620 is helping me out with the rebuild of the project and I am thankful.The wiring has been a bit of a Rats nest...we also have to replace the the entire radiator system because the last owner installed it like it was legos,just pieced it together.If sick620 wouldn't have played rescue ranger my datsun would have just been driven off the cliffs at the cascade mountains. l16 swap dogleg 5speed weber western wheels metal dash petronix electro dist.

Cruzilla Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Truck was a j13 originally.. p/o installed l16... alternator died because they were using the original and they had cut it open and ghetto rigged it to make it charge... the battery was mounted under the bed... cut out the battery and installed a new remanned alt.. we had to get a smaller belt and make a smaller bracket because there wasnt enough room for our alternator. We went through the wiring and cleaned it up. the radiator dosnt have a cap on top and is rigged up to a ghetto vw overflow. I want to get a better radiator... the fuel pump is a electric one and I would like to switch back to the original manual style... we got everything back together but now truck wont start, we need to check our wiring again in the morning...
