Toptech360 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Cool link,thanks. I have completely been infected by the Datsun bug. I've been working on or learning about this 1500 every second I can. It was my father in laws, I found some old documents that shows he bought it on Jan. 1st Of 1964. it has the dual carbs and 1500 emblem on the back so it had to have been built sometime between June and December of 1963. I'd guess more like between June and Oct... Quote Link to comment

Toptech360 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is this some kind of adapter holding the carb on the intake manifold? Do you see the giant hole below your quoted post in the photo? Maybe that hole is a mount bolt hole??? Got the carbs off, the hole is a mount hole. Here are some pics of the spacer.there were no gaskets!from what I'm reading there should be gaskets between the manifold and carb spacer/insulator block.I assume its stock but not positive Quote Link to comment

Toptech360 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 This thread has sat idle for nearly a year but the datsun has not :) I overhauled the G engine and cleaned up the engine bay. Overall she is now in reliable mechanical condition. Ive been driving the car as often as weather permits and loving every bit of it. next will be cleaning up the rest of the car and trying to salvage the paint job! Looking forward taking the car to some local events at some point...until then here are some pics. Quote Link to comment
