Non parts related, this week HBO used my truck for a new JJ Abrams TV series set in 1971.

Well they certainly got your truck right, but I don't think 17" wheels even existed in 1971. The torque thrust wheels on that Merc are just wrong.

 

It really is a beautiful truck.

[320 Newb]

Agree 100% I hate the wheels and stance on that Merc. 

 

New project is a 64 that's been in a metal building for 30+ years. I'm starting to go through it and want to rebuild the 5 hole fuel pump but can't find a 5 hole diaphragm. Does anyone have any ideas or leads? 6 hole diaphragm with a couple new punched holes and some fuel safe RTV?

 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

Steve had a solution for the diaphragm.

[thisismatt]

That looks really clean 🤩

Steve, didn't you come up with a solution for the pump diaphragm?

 

I do wonder what happened to my 320NL. I'd like to get that one back. It was light blue and had a rebuilt A14 with dual SUs in it. If anyone knows where that one is, I'd love to hear about it.

I'm working with Moses on this issue, Matt.

[320 Newb]

Steve has some parts and Tana B has a 5 screw diaphragm. Between the two of them I should be able to rebuild that early style pump.

September 2022!

I remember the first time I saw a Datsun in Hemmings. I think it was a 521. That was the day I knew the rest of the world was now paying attention to Japanese cars and trucks.

It's still hard for me to believe there's a Japanese truck in the mix with all those domestics. Scratch that squarebody blazer and insert an FJ. 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I love square bodies. I have at least one right now, yeah, one. It's a '79 K30 dually dump truck. Love that truck.

 

But I also love my other trucks equally...

 

Just glad that Japanese are now considered mainstream. FOr that matter, the classic car mags have now started featuring trucks towards the front of the magazines, not back-of-the-bus anymore.

[320 Newb]

Huge thanks to Tana and Steve D for rebuild parts to get my 5 screw pump back in action. After a bath in chem-dip I was excited to see nice yellow zinc on the cap. Next up I'll clean out the Nikki carb and give it a new pump plunger. 

 

Also most parts have been sold but I still have some stuff left including a complete heater with in-tact knob, core, unfrozen valve, and bench tested fan. I also have hood trim with no dings, dents, or rot. 

 

 

 

[320 Newb]

Does anyone know thread sizes or an alternative part number for the flared elbow on the 5 screw fuel pump? I took this part number in to the local auto parts place and the 19 year old's eyes went dead. 

 

 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I'm sure it is BSPT, probably 1/8". If it's tapered, try BSPT. If it's not tapered, your guess is as good as mine.

 

Have any of you guys tried a Sprite 948 pump? - https://mossmotors.com/fuel-pump-mechanical-2

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I bet the fitting from a fuel filter bowl is the same. I think I even have one on the windowsill in the shop.

Great call. And I'm a dumbass. I just sold a handful of glass bowl parts including that elbow to a Roadster guy. 

[320 Newb]

For anyone else looking, that elbow is male 1/4" NPT x male 3/8 flare. I just ordered a couple online.

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

Wow, I would have thought it to be BSPT.

[320 Newb]

Finally got the new project home to Tucson. Had the seat reupholstered to factory spec and matched the vinyl from the factory door panels. I replaced the head gasket, inspected the cylinders/head, rebuilt the fuel pump and pulled the carb to go through it. New manifold gasket... Getting close to trying to fire it for the first time.

A twin to our 'Mighty Mouse'. and a great find, Moses.

 

Any idea what kind of wheels those are ?

I think they're Mazda wheels. I've got a set of factory 320 wheels/bias ply tires/Jake's stainless hubcaps ready to go. I cleaned up the interior and dropped in the new seat. Interior is very unmolested. Factory kick panels, firewall insulation, tray, shelf all in great conditions. Floor mats are as good as I've ever seen. 

 

I also shoehorned my 76 year old dad into the green truck and took him to Cars and Coffee. 

 

 

[difrangia]

Them kiddies lovin' on that NL and pops 'Grinnin' like a possum eatin crap' (old OKlahoma saying) in the green truck gotta be smoothin' things over with the wifey on the new pickup acquisition.

 

'Keep On Truckin' !!
