Hotpad Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hey, I've just purchased a 1964nl320, on the drive home I had a vibration, and seemed the clutch was slipping? Gonna replace clutch, any advice on clutch manufacturer? Throwout bushing? Am new to this vehicle...but have good feeling there is a lot of help here, truck was complete,unmolested,rust free...figured it was a great truck to restore, will be looking for parts, will be also looking for links to sources. I'm sure this will be an adventure, looking forward to meeting all you goo-roos,motor heads! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Welcome :) Before we can actually say much of anything, it would help to know if it is original anymore, the 64 was a column shift truck, is it still column shift? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Vibration is not usually a symptom of clutch slipping. Is it clutch chatter? When does it occur? 1 Quote Link to comment
SS320 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi and welcome. The vibration could be a number of things... You will soon find the people on Ratsun are like nymphomaniacs about pictures. Picturemaniacs if you like. They just can't get enough! Here is the link on how it's done. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/691-how-to-post-pictures-and-keep-online-photo-albums/ Quote Link to comment

SS320 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's not a bad looking car. Not sure about it being a '64 though. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 64s are good. I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment
SS320 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 64s are good. I'd buy one. I have to agree. I have a '64 320. That's not a '64 front on that car. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 That's a 1963 grille Quote Link to comment

difrangia Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Built in 1963 First sold and therefore titled as a 1964 Configuration that mine is. I believe that the same scenario goes for 64 appearance - titled as a 65. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Doesn't matter what the title says. What matters is which model year the truck is. They stamped the year on the engine compartment ID plate, however I've heard rumours that some were late-dated which is probably why the DOT mandated Compliance Plates with the month and year of build starting in 1968. And even so sometimes the State titles it wrong. Quote Link to comment

Hotpad Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hey me again, sorry I haven't replied....was in Minnesota on vacation!!! No idea if clutch is original, it is a column shift, next issue...lol, carb idle adj screw is not where it should be, throttle shaft is moved out of place so as to not allow the screw to contact casting for an adjustment, sitting in mid air.....previous owner was into something he didn't know about, thinking weber? Any imput will be wonderful....it has stock carb on it now....thanks Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 The throttle shaft is fixed be the butterflies so it can't shift sideways. It may be missing linkage. Weber 32/36 can run OK on the 1.2 liter engine. Takes a lot of fiddling to get it right. Quote Link to comment
Hotpad Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm with ya on butterflies locating shaft in position, something is not correct in the additional stuff assembled onto external part of shaft, is there an exploded view of how and what is assembled to the throttle shaft? Thanks for responding....are these stock carburetors good? Are they serviceable, anybody that could refer me to a carb gooroo would be great, just learning this from scratch, but as you all know..."A MAN HAS GOT TO KNOW HIS LIMITATIONS" or it gets ugly and expensive real quick...lol Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yes, good design. Yes, serviceable. Yes, exploded views exist in the factory service manual. Quote Link to comment
Hotpad Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Gonna need a factory service manual.....any info on where to find? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 eBay, booksellers, Craigslist or Gumtree. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 320 uses a Nikki carbie. May be similar to this 520 Nikki Quote Link to comment
SS320 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Here is a diagram of the 320 Nikki Carb; I have just rebuilt one and ran a carb kit through it for my 320. Goes great! Quote Link to comment
Hotpad Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you so much for all the info, looking forward to getting this issue resolved, hotpad Quote Link to comment
