Draker Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ive seen a blueish looking 521 rolling around Eugene one day, I have the l16. Just got the truck a month ago, still learning about it It certainly looks like an L20 though. Are you sure it wasn't swapped already? Light blue 521 is Pablo. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Also find out what head is on it. It will be marked on the left side between the #1 and #2 spark plugs as shown here: 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It looks like an L20b to me also. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Below spark plug #4 will be a flat section/plate. It will say L16, L18, L20B there. 2 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Welcome the Ratsun Dennis. What's the build date on your truck? You have the reflector markers which means built 69 but you title says 70. Is it built 69, titled 70? That's what mine is The blue 521 was probably Pablo. I have a weber air filter box lower tray and lid if you need one, real cheap. Craig get on making those steering column boots for the fire wall, dudes using duct tape. 3 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Craig get on making those steering column boots for the fire wall, dudes using duct tape. Get me one in usable shape.. I could probably make it pretty simple.. I think. 1 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Welcome aboard. How about some interior pics? 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Get me one in usable shape.. I could probably make it pretty simple.. I think. I'll take one too. Plenty of things on 521s have been long ignored by previous owners. 1 Quote Link to comment
