"Blue" 1978 KC 620 refresher thread...

[PtheDude]

Well, I sold my L20b to "Trashbagposse" which was a great deal for him, and forced me to finally get my hotrod...hotrodded...

 

Meet Blue:

 

 

120pounds across all 4 cycl engine being REMOVED from my truck... I'm an IDIOT

 

 

 

My 1800 SSS flat top carbs, on the engine that's going in:

 

 

 

the exhaust manifold was worse then this one:

 

NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THIS!!! ( Auburn performance coatings, 2000f 180 bucks )

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manifold is on the engine... but it HITS THE DAMN DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE MOUNT. frack.

has anyone made the dual SU air filter work in a 620? can I get smaller brake vacuum canister?

 

[1lo620]

I had them on my 620, mine where round tops. not sire if they are different sizes.. But the big difference is that mine where on a 74, so brake booster was smaller... Sorry not much help...Check Pacific Coast (Mark) he did a build up on install of Dual Carbs and he made customs cones.. to work around the booster

Ya, you will want to find an earlier booster. Love this truck :cool:

[PtheDude]

So a 73 booster? Or how about a 610 master setup?

[Tristin]

Glad to see you doing work on this thing... was a cool truck when I saw it at The Old School Reunion.

[Silvester]

Great work! you're worrying me because i have the same manifold I want to put on!! Where and how was it hitting?

[w_datsun_a]

I love the color and stripe on that truck. Very clean to!

[converted_to_datsun]

Keep us updated on those carbs. I have that same setup I want to swap on to my 79 620

[PtheDude]

Ya, good old ryknot came down and told me I had the mounts reversed.

 

duhh.

 

So, if your selling a spare set of 620 engine mounts, I need 'em as I cut mine up before using my head.

 

I need help tho. I don't have a nipple to attach my vacuum advance to. I've circled the 2 likeliest suspects. If anyone knows EXACTLY what the name/ number of my carbs and manifold are, I'll buy ya a beer.

 

 

All the other rigs I've seen look like vac adv is coming from these area's

CTD: do you have the flat top carbs as well? without the center balance tubes? I'd love to see pics of your setup. so far, I think these came off a JDM 1800 SSS 610, from out of the US. I'm hoping Mike or o'holic will chip in and bestow upon me their wisdom.

72 or 73 ya. I haven't seen the 610 booster, so no idea on that.

[PtheDude]

[PtheDude]

 

out with the fugly white plastic fan!

[PtheDude]

made the throttle cable work tonight!  just need a drill press and i am good to go! literally!

[Laecaon]

I had the air nipple thingy for your manifold/booster you wanted. I put it in a box and sent it along to laotsu... If you still need it, you might PM him. He wont have the box til thursday... I really doubt he will need it for his application.

The truck looks great. What a great find, rust free! Do you still have the motor you pulled out? I'm trying to put together a L20B to near stock and have a mess of a motor hodgepodge from PO. I would be interested in the fuel pump, return lines, intake and carb if your would like to take it apart. See my thread, STAGE ONE: engine 101 to see what  I'm sealing with.
