Flipping those springs will probably be way to much down,,, try taking just that really short overload spring out.. It seems like just that alone dropped back about a inch.. If i remember correctly you will need to make some kinda spacer to make up for it not being in the pile... I am not talking you out of going to the ground if you have enough clearance but if the rear goes down the front has to also,,,,and THAT is when the money starts flowing.

finished it all up this morning! 

i didnt have very much room to work on the rear and the weather wasnt very good:

picked up the blocks from my place:

started to get in to it, after deciding flipping the springs was not going to happen we removed the two smaller leafs:

I DONT SUGGEST THIS SET TO ANYONE! look at the difference haha. we had to bend all of the u bolts to make them work:

we also drilled these out cause the u bolts were to fat... we ended up using a drill press:

weird that it would make the problem worse.. If you don`t pump gas it won`t start? Maybe the linkage wasn`t right when tried it ,,is it a electric or manual choke??

 

I have my choke wired open because i am way to cheap to buy parts and that`s exactly how mine starts when cold

There is also another thread for same thing.. labeled Datsun woodstock,, but they are the same parties.

...Most in my party don`t drink,,  so if your sober you won`t be alone.. Just don`t get between me and my BBQ,,, yo.

Oh i stumbled upon that a couple days ago... only problem is im already taking the 24th to the 30th off for camping... maybe ill take it off anyways. i dont drink or nothin, but i am a bbq lover.

 

ill mess with the choke on monday to see if i cant figure it out. its a manual choke. if i dont pump, it wont even get close to starting

how big is your sons sub?? fuck in A! 

i went to the arlintington pick n pull because naner gave a heads up on the 79 goon that was there. i pulled the bumper hood thing, the gas pedal, and a part of the center consol that i was missing... 

the bumper visor was a yellow color\:

so i hit it with some paint thinner:

it was just a boring grey color as bare metal:

blah blah blah yesterday i went out and bought a shit load of sand paper so i could polish the bitch:

and here is the final product:

Im super happy with it, its almost as shiny as my bumper which was my ultimate goal... i cant get it to sit right on my wagon, its all warped and shit and i cant stand the gap it has from the clips. im going to try and figure out a way to get rid of 'em.

 

Here is my other new toy.. i have had it for like three weeks now:
