253datsun Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Well I got myself a 510 wagon (elmerfudpuckerds) I stripped out the inside to clean the ground.... Fixing the 2 gaskets on tuesday anyone know where I can find shifter bushings??? But I think I'm in love lol it sounds good and runs and drives good too not to much mechanical to do mostly wiring and interior... Any clue where I can get new seats... 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Welcome! Glad to see the wagon stay with Ratsun. Im sure you will enjoy it... Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Go to the Help section at O Rileys and the Chrysler door bushings will work. Its a set of multi bushing sizes. its a copper bronze color. I dont have the part number right now but it fit in the shifter sides Thru wise. a slight drilling might be required. Stock ones were plastic unless you taling about the Ball end? Quote Link to comment
253datsun Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks glad to be here the bushing I was looking for is the 1 that holds the shifter lever to the tranny Quote Link to comment

253datsun Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 so i was gonna do the gaskets today but ended up with the wrong one somehow :-( elmer said he was gonna ask someone if they grabbed it.... but i dont think thats the problem, as far as i can see there is no water going into the intake manifold.... i think it has a blown head gasket..... not bad only pisses at high rpms.... but still now i have an 8 hr job ahead of me.... at least i still have my truck.... thanks for the link on the bushings too.... yonker nissan has some too they are $4 a piece....

elmerfudpucker Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I am pretty sure it is the intake gasket not the head gasket because it it spitting between the intake and exhaust manifold at those shared bolts and not out between the head and block or out the tail pipe. Quote Link to comment
253datsun Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ya but I cant find water going into the intake??? There ate no runners... But oh well I'm doing them today.... Just got the gasket kit Quote Link to comment
253datsun Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 well i guess thats what i get for being the new guy lol it was just the intake not head lol... sorry elmer.... took like 20 mins. but now i have all the gaskets justin case... also got the choke mounted and dash in... i also have a new ignition on the way so that will get fixed too....
