datto510 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've been looking for a nice sidedraft for a while now. This one popped up on Ebay and was wondering if it were a good deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-510-weber-45-dcoe-carbs-carburetor-L16-L18-L20_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33550QQihZ016QQitemZ260261037587QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW It will be running on a mildly built L16. It also looks like linkage is set up for a cable? How do you overcome this? Is there an adapter to buy, or just some good old fashioned elbow grease? -E Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 if you have the stock linkage for a stock carb your all set (from the descpition) its a decent deal for what it is. me? id still wait for a set of duals... Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I would love a set of duals but the best I could find, for Webbers, was $800. A little pricey. :mad: Oh well, the search continues. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 patience :mellow: a set of 40's will pop up, complete, for $400, only neeeding a rebuild! :) Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 yeah, hold out. I know I can get that very same setup brand new for $600. and duals I think for $1200. Just be careful that your not spending too much Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 singles seem not to work as great as duals.esp with that manifold wait it out. a set will come along Quote Link to comment

By the way, I saw a sweet 620 yesterday, in Dutch Harbor! I'll try to get a pic and post in that thread tonight. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I say it is..find out what the carb cost and intake.,..looks like it's in good shape...I for one don;t like sidedrafts, they are too pinicky...a 32/36 is good enough for daily driver. Quote Link to comment

Daily driver? Thats what my 4 door is for. :D I'm looking to build the oldschool japenese hotrod! Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 No,,no, got it all wrong..Just from my experience the sidedrafts (Mikunis or webers) are not meant as daily driver. From my own experience they were pinicky...constant adjustment. and with gas prices today a 32/36 is the best bet. BTW you can't maximize sidedrafts unless you have built up your engine from inside... Quote Link to comment

BTW you can't maximize sidedrafts unless you have built up your engine from inside... I hear what your saying about the fuel prices and finikey carbs and I agree. The car in question already has a 32/36, I am looking to make some more horses by upgrading to dual Webbers. BTW, the guy I bought the car from gave me a long list of reciepts and some of them were from Dave Rebello racing. There is one for a cam, the others are too wrinkled or faded to tell what they were for. I tried to get ahold of the seller to find out what has been done to the motor, but cant seem to find him anymore.:( Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 maybe take valve cove off ans get a mirrow and there maybe marks on back of cam to indicate a another type of cam installed Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Dual Webers on Datsun Engine: Have you run your datto in the Deep River rallycross? that would be bad ass on my l20 :D but way to much carb i would think Quote Link to comment

Here is another set that showed up on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-510-weber-40-dcom-carbs-carburetor-L16-L18-L20_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33550QQihZ016QQitemZ260264563002QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW These are DCOM instead of the DCOE. I have done a little internet research and the only difference I could find is that it has a diaphram accelerator pump versus the piston type of the DCOE. Is THIS a good deal? Quote Link to comment
