laotsu Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Meet ReddRooster a 1977 automatic kingcab 620. Redd was given to me by c6flstfjock because he had spent enough money trying to get Redd's brakes to work ($750 on all new components and it still has serious brake fade) and it still needs a carburetor rebuild to pass smog. Easy fixes by Ratsun standards I'm sure... :rofl: enough of the intro here's some pics, engine shots to be posted later. 1 Quote Link to comment

laotsu Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think when the "professional" mechanic replaced the MC he failed to properly bench bleed it, or he didn't set the throw on the MC plunger. We shall see, I haven't even popped the hood yet, it could have some uber-rare JDM replacement engine... maybe even a GILKEN HEAD! :w00t: :frantics: Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 engine pics as promised pretty standard L20b I think unshaved U67! I hope it's not warped... weird, no L20b stamp on the block? new starter and alternator nice clean single point dizzy new MC what am I pointing at? Is it an aircleaner for the smog system air pump? found this sticker in the fuel door Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 that filter is exactly what you think it is a filter for the smog pump im willing to bet that the numbers are stamped there just can be seen under all the grime build up buff out whats left of the paint sweet patina www.lowerit.com/rightnow Quote Link to comment
Hooligan Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Awesome start... yeah that blocked cleaned up will show ya the L20 stamp. It looks like a 5 year old wrote them at the plant Quote Link to comment

jvb5577 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 That interior is nice! I hope you get Redd to pass smog :thumbup: That FSM will come in handy sooo much with smog. Quote Link to comment
