vabeach454 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi all, I am new to these Forums and would like to say hi and show you my 720. It is 2wd, 5 speed long bed with Z24 @ 85K original miles. Quote Link to comment
vabeach454 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 The truck runs really good, but I found this plug on the carb that is disconnected and only the blue wire for the choke is hooked up. I dont seem to have choke on a cold start? Quote Link to comment

vabeach454 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I also need a shift boot, but have had a hard time finding the right one. Anyone know where to get one? Quote Link to comment
nissan720 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 nice truck very original. Quote Link to comment
vabeach454 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 nice truck very original. Thanks... I picked it up off an old guy for $1000. I have been thinking about the Weber carb swap. I heard you get better performance?? I had the muffler shop cut off the original muffler and put in a Stainless high flo with tip, it sounds pretty good. :thumbup: I have a 15 year old son that just got his permit and I am teaching him how to drive. When he gets his licence, he will be sporting this. That is why I bought it, but I am having alot of fun driving it lol. Quote Link to comment

SHORTDOG Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Nice truck! Good to see more of these 720's being saved rather than scrapped. As for the shift boot, Try this place...they got all NOS parts. http://www.nissanpartszone.com/ Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 you and my wife have the same truck Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 This plug is used on the electronic feedback carburetor so unless the carb was replaced with another, I can barely see how this thing runs. Do you have an oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold? If yes, then this carb and the ECU that runs it is in an over rich, limp home mode and will give terrible mileage. The auto choke heater wire below is marker as L which is Nissans code for Blue. So yes your choke is connected but the rest of the electronics are not. The ECU (computer) will default to an over rich limp home mode. . Quote Link to comment
SHORTDOG Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 So do you have a pic of how this should be connected...the right way? I'd just like to compare it to mine to see if it is connected right as well. Quote Link to comment

I pluged it in properly and it seemed not to run as good and I hav'nt checked fuel economy, but this truck will haul A$$. I'm Thinking of installing the Weber 32/36 soon... Quote Link to comment
