zed1 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Does anyone have a photo of the original routing of Vacuum Advance Tube from the J13 distributor (Item 9 at http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun520/Datsun520521Index/Electrical1300J13/ElectricalPartsMounting/tabid/1423/Default.aspxto Nikki carburetor? (The tube I have appear to have many bends to circumvent the heater hoses, ignition wires and choke cable, and I want to make certain I have the routing correct. I am concerned with the over/under positioning of the tube in relation to the other components in the engine compartment.) Thanks, Keith Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Can't find it in my info but placement isn't critical. I bet it's copper tubing, right? Unless looking for originality, switch to rubber tubing and go over the valve cover or around the back side of the valve cover. Easy enough to pull off to remove the valve cover Quote Link to comment
zed1 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Mike, I am striving for originality with the tube. I do not think it is copper, but I have yet to attempt to bend/form it. Thanks, Keith Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Get it running with rubber / vinyl tubing, then spend the next 20 years trying to find OEM tubing to replace what now works. Most probably tinned steel tubing. 1 Quote Link to comment
