Love the updates.

 

I think you can swap parts in the distributors.

[tekkjosen]

Thanks !  ^_^

 

Okay, thx for answer, then I will try to do that !  :thumbup:

Pics of the two dizzys?

 

Most ppl prob havnt seen an L14 dizzy to know the differences.......

 

 

Well I havnt atleast

[tekkjosen]

Sorry, didn't think of that ;) Couldn't see any big differences myself other than the part no. mabye because the L16 dizzy is pretty empty tho :P

 

But pics here :

 

Would have been really easy if i could just swap the dizzys :)

 

L16 dizzy :

 

 

Part no. 

 

 

 

L14 :

 

 

 

 

 

Also wants to buy some new water hoses for the engine, would have loved some white silicone hoses, but think it would be expensive to get ? 
Does anyone here know where to buy original or aftermarket ones or the part number for a full set ? :) 

 

Think it's time for some new ones :P

Just basing off what the pic's show id say the dizzy's are interchangeable

[banzai510(hainz)]

Whats wrong with them???????

 

they single point diistributors. They work or they don't.. The points themselves are usualy the same on early datsuns/ as like the single point 510s in the USA.  68-69 years. Or in other countries

 

you can can convert this to a Pertonix conversion also part number 1741 if you can find them in your country

Just to be sure, interchangeable means they're able to be swapped ? :P 

[banzai510(hainz)]

swapped??

you mean inside the parts??? or just the distributor from one motor to the other. If you watch the vid about half way it show I install many different distributors

Don't know if it's anything wrong with either of them, have used the one in the L14 abit so that works, but just wondered if I could use the L14 dizzy on the L16 engine what would be the easiest since the one for the L16 is missing so many parts :) 

 

Will look more into the Pertonix conversion kit, just took a quick look at it now. Is it magnet controlled like many motorcycles have on their flywheel ? :) And spotted a few on ebay when I searced for it so think it's no problem to get one to Norway :)

Was thinking about the whole distributor 

[banzai510(hainz)]

yes the whole distributor with the mount. so it all lines up correctly. Most time the mount will be the same but not always.

 

OK make it EZ for you

 

watch it naked!!!!!!!!!

(Part 1)

 

Bought some more paint last week for the weekend, continued with the engine bay yesterday :)

 

But got home and into the garage seeing a solid scratch on the left side of the car... Unluckily my dad was backing in a trailer in the garage and hit my car  :hmm:  a bit annoying since this was some of the few places I didn't have to do any work on the car  :lol:  

 

 

 

 

But anyways, started grinding the front in the engine bay :)

 

 

 

More examples of rust just covered over with some dark blue paint  :hmm:

 

 

And flakes with bodyfiller on the front fender i can peel off with my fingernails  :no:

 

 

Grinded down and made it ready for painting :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Covered up and painted

 

 

 

 

[tekkjosen]

(Part 2)

 

Painted the front cover for the engine white to :)

 

 

 

 

Started on the front "middle bar"  :)

 

 

The top screw just kept on spinning and didn't help to press it out from the backside while screwing so did it easy and cut it off :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will do the finish next weekend I think, when I also starts a week + with eastern vacation so hope to get some done then :)

Came back home for the easter today, and went to the post office to pick up some wheels I bought from Japan a little while ago. So thanks to Member Greased monkey for selling me the wheels  :thumbup: 

 

 

14" Hayashi Techno racing wheels  :thumbup: 

 

 

Was planned to repaint them with white centers, but liked the gold color with the blue on the car so will mabye repaint them in the same color later :)

 

 

 

Will try to get some more work done tomorrow :)

[Eagle_Adam]

Just to be sure, interchangeable means they're able to be swapped ? :P

 

Yes, you can run both dizzys on both motors from what I can tell

21.03.16

 

(Part 1)

 

Continued in the engine bay yesterday, grinded down and painted :)

 

 

Took off these and stored them in case I later could see what was written on them :)

 

 

 

More screws that snapped off before I got them out (for the rubber thingys on the radiator frame)

 

 

 

Alot of bodyfiller and some rust underneath the latest layer of paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Took off the fender to :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Took off the washer fluid tank so I could reach the inner wall :)

 

 

 

 

 

Also can't understand why someone would cover over this nice color with some ugly half done layer with paint that peels off just by looking at it  :no:

 

[tekkjosen]

(Part 2)

 

Covered up and painted :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also took the worst of the dirt off the dizzy while some paint was drying :)  (not finished yet)

 

 

 

[Eagle_Adam]

Takes time but they can end up lookn pretty sharp!

Wow, nice !  B)

 

Finished a couple of days ago, didn't end up quite as good as that, but at least it's clean !  ^_^

 

Will be a new update tomorrow I think, almost finished in the engine bay, just have to clean a bit more and cover up and paint ! :)   

[Eagle_Adam]

If you pull the vaccumm advance and paint it I think it really completes the look :)

Yeah, became a nice finish on the dizzy with the painted vaccum advance ! :) thought about painting it too. but will se, mabye I'll do it later :) doesn't look so good now tho :P

[Eagle_Adam]

I found a wire brush attachment on my drill did the most for the appearance of the dizzy

 

Just my $0.02

29.03.16

 

(Part 1)

 

Got some work done the last couple of days, grinded down the rest in the engine bay and painted it, so I'm as good as finished in the engine bay now, just a little small finishing before I can put the engine in again  :thumbup:

 

So started with cleaning on and around the car, have been filled up with loads of junk on it over the last couple of weeks so good to clean up in some of that :)

 

 

Finished the dizzy clean, looks like it got some dark spots of dirt on it, but figure it's just some corrosion :) didn't go over with a steelbrush, just cleaned the dirt off it :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Continued grinding in the engine bay :)

 

 

 

Wasn't as affected by rust on this side as the other side, so took mostly just were I spotted rust, and let some paint be :)

 

 

Spottted some rust behind the steering gear (?) if that's the word in English ? :P

 

 

So I unbolted it and detached it from the steering column, first time I've taken this apart, so for some reason I thought I had to place the steering column at the same spot I had detached it from, but realised it wasn't nececcary when I looked more into it :P, so that explains the tape ;)

 

 

 

 

 

Steering column in the way for some rust to so removed that :)

 

 

 

 

 

[tekkjosen]

(Part 2)

 

So finished the grinding :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Washed over with some thinner 

 

 

And ready to cover up and paint ! :)
