hobbes_the_cat Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 since it spins why don't you open the valve cover ck the cam timming,distributor timming, valve lash then ck the points to see spark before real quick from center coil wire before one just cranks and wears out a starrter and battery Frank offered this wagon to me. said lots of rust in back but never went up there Yeah I'm going to check it all out. Frank thought it was frozen so I was surprised it turned over so smooth. The hatch is the worst I've ever seen for rust. Real bad. Really need to replace it. Hoping to find a red one to match the existing patina. 1 Quote Link to comment
MYDAILYROUTINE Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks for the parts from the Z! It was great to meet you, if you need any help with the 510 wagon just give me a call. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah man it was nice to meet you too. Glad you could use some parts off this thing. You gotta let me know if you make any progress on the wagon were both stalking. 2 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 So I found something cool today under the rubber mat in the back. I think it's the build sheet? Anyone know how to decode them? I've never seen one before so I assume that's what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Also found something gross. Huge rats nest. Completely filled the passenger quarter panel. 1 Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Cool! Rusty cars open more doors then close them. I had a pathfinder once and they were living in the intake.. I tried to start it after it had been sitting for a bit. I would have been happy I found it in the rear quarter panel to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Engine Room Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 My favorite one was when they built several nests inside the zoomie headers in the T-bucket. That was a real mess when I started the engine and they all geysered out of there. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Also found something gross. Huge rats nest. Completely filled the passenger quarter panel. That's where all the fuel lines and vapor tanks are on a goon. 2 Quote Link to comment
uieluck Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 No no, that's just the old style of Dynamat—sound deadening at it's best! 1 Quote Link to comment

hobbes_the_cat Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm going to have a huge Datsun garage sale on Labor Day weekend. Most of what you see will be for sale because I just don't have room to keep it all. Check the Events section, I made a post there. Quote Link to comment
