bananahamuck Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 My '78 WHLA10 says different... There are distinctive differences between 78 and 79 A10s. 78s use the remote igniter. I've owned 4 different 78s, all with remote igniter ignitions. The Tach Delete plate is different. The dash facia is different- 79s have bulb burnout indicators (as do the 80-81) but 78s do NOT. The 79+ had a center armrest storage container, 78 did not (though it could be added as the console itself was the same). 78s didn't say "By Nissan" on the fender and trunk badges. And the stupid wagon rear seats are attached differently enough to be virtually unuseable between the two. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 510 with build date of Nov 1977 was the first USA 1978 510. They were produced in Japan even earlier, starting in May 1977. FWIW, build date on this car is September 1977... 1 Quote Link to comment

connerd Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 get a roof rack! all the cool kids have one :lol: Haha I just realized I'm the odd man out in the roof rack category. I'm always looking for one but I dunno what brand or specific models work. I'm sure I could look it up though. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm always looking for one but I dunno what brand or specific models work. I'm sure I could look it up though. The kind that will work is the rain gutter type. The ones for Hondas won't work.

Mikeystoy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I just dont see the point; unless you're driving a vintage Beetle, or actually USING it, why have one at all Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Friend bought the neighbors old one. On a highway trip he got 26 MPG from the 460. Around town 6-8 maybe. We replaced the transmission. It was the M.O.A.T. swaps Quote Link to comment

connerd Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 So my buddy is selling me his old engine from his 76 lil hustler. Also the 4 speed that was with the engine in the truck. He thinks the engine came from a car originally. Anyway the l20b I bought has a U67 head on it, datsun valve cover insted of the nissan one, and a weber 32/36 carb. I'm going to swap my electric dizzy onto that engine and clean it up real nice fix any leaks and swap my car to a 4 speed at the same time. If all goes well it should be a hell of an upgrade from a w58 head with a stock carb and 3 speed auto if I say so myself. Anything else I should do to the engine do you guys think?
