Howdy New 320 Owner - 1965

Checking in from WA.

 

This looks like a more active forum that another one I joined.

 

I'm putting my fully rebuilt 1200 engine together at present.

 

Looks like I'll have to scavenge a starter off of my 1300 engine unless someone can point me to a source. I believe I've successfully ordered a new water pump, but communications have been a bit slow with the company.

 

I have about 5 generators, not sure if I should (or can?) get them rebuilt and re-use them, or if I should switch to a Chevy alternator.

 

I have two carburators, not clear yet if every piece is there between the two.

 

Not sure if I should attempt to rebuild my gas pump or just hope it works? Or use the scavenged one from the other engine? Are they still on the market?

Welcome to Ratsun

Most switch over to negitive ground and switch to alternators, although I still have a positive ground truck, but it's not a daily driver, but it could be if I wanted to work on the brakes.

My driver 320 has a toyota alternator, and is negitive ground.

A few members have rebuilt there fuel pumps, with mixed results, but I would do everything possible to stay with the stock type mechanical pump, are you sure yours doesn't work?

Where are you located in washington?

We like photos a lot on Ratsun, if you can't figure out how to post photos of your ride/truck, PM me and we'll get a couple posted for you, you might start hearing stuff like oics.(photos) or ban, don't let them scare ya, their just photo whores.

I hope your located near me, as so far I am the only 320 that shows up regular at the datsun meets in the area, but there are a few around here.

I haven't really got into the 1200 engines myself, my daily was already running good when I bought it, so I didn't mess with a good thing, but there are others on here that have worked on theres, and they will likely answer your engine/engine accessory questions better than me.

Welcome new 65 owner. I also have a 65 320. Mine is 100% stock and I still have the original positive ground generator. I have had it rebuilt 2 times at a local shop that does generators, alternators and starters.
