Farmer Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Selling my clean 620 Its a 1976 Datsun 620 Kingcab with an L20b with 4 speed Manual trans. Odometer says 95,846 and I believe its the actual miles. If its 195k, they must of babied it alot. I am the fourth owner though. Original owner bought it new, drove it until he got to old to drive and it sat for about 8 years until a carport. After he passed away, his son sold it to the second owner, which only had it about six months. Third owner had it for about 3 years and drove around 6,000 miles. During his reign, his wife backed into it and damage the bed. You will see the damage in the pictures. Anyways, I bought it about little over a year ago. Kind of a impulse buy. I removed the interior(seats, carpet) as they were moldy and greasy and put in another set of seats from my 78 KC. So in a couple of pics, you'll see the differences. The floor boards are solid. They applied some tar substance, as you'll see. You will also see some different rims on the detailed pics. The Truck will come with the stock wheels and tires as pictured in first few pics. I ended up installing my built l20b into the 620. Had new exhaust system installed and drove it for about 500 miles until I removed the engine due to deciding to sale the truck. So I started to clean up the original engine and replace the valve cover gasket. I notice something with the timing chain, saw chunks of plastic, scrapes. And then notice some one use rtv sealant in areas that shouldn't have. Someone had something go wrong during the trucks lifetime. So I tore it down and replaced the timing chain/ gear/guides, visual checked piston, valves. Replaced head, valve cover, timing chain cover, water pump, oil pan GASKETS. Put in a new clutch system. The only thing that I screwed up on is, I did not align up the correct position of the oil pump. So that made the distrib. off. However I was able to time the system to 10* advanced. Suppose to be 12*. It actually runs really good but had plans to change it on my next oil change, then re-time it. Now since I installed the "built" engine, I used the L16 Mani, which has the new exhaust. So I removed all the smog crap and installed the brand new Weber that was on the "built" engine. So the stock engine has a weber with a L16 mani. I can include the smog stuff with the sale if need be. Here are things that need to replaced or repaired: New brakes( it does stop, but wouldn't stop quick) All Window seals, door seals, new carpet, door panels. I lost the ignition key during my recent move, so a fellow ratsun member got me a match set of Ignition switch and door locks with key( still needs locks installed Tires look almost the originals but I wouldn't trust them for long distances. Needs new oil sender unit, oil leaks from it. ON WITH THE PICTURES ALREADY!! http://www.use.com/7...b9ae24f776bf794 %5B/url] The price is $2500 and if you have any other questions, reply back with them. I can get a video of it running if need be Larry Link to comment

ryknot Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I did the same thing when I pulled and refreshed the engine in my 75 620 (only being able to adjust timing to 10 degrees). I found it fairly easy to take a rat tail file and elongate the slot in the distributer to allow for the other 2 degrees. I didnt have to pull the distributer either . . GLWS! Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 YOu really need to realign the oil pump/dist spindal. as the car goes faster the timming will move more You should get up to 0-20deg EZ if dizzy installed correctly Link to comment
Farmer Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Got the timing taken care of and fix the leak at oil sender unit by replacing it with new one. Now I found the temp sending unit is not working. Larry Link to comment

Willdatsun Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 one feedback , doesn't look hopeful!. PM sent. I am looking to buy a solid 620 but I need the seller to be able to get it to a port for me. Ideally I want a late model with the disc brakes , 5 speed etc but I am considering other trucks if seller is near a port. Link to comment

Willdatsun Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just been to pick up my pickup from the docks here in England! Excited, Never even seen a king cab before in real life! THe truck is just as solid as Farmer said it was, minimal rust. Very happy. Lots of things to tinker with and improve but the truck is sound and will be back to running like it should in no time hopefully! Being transported to California In the warehouse in UK Near my house being towed home by my Nissan powered 1970s Range Rover. At home and unloaded 1 Link to comment
