New to me 79 510 project off C/L

[12secvx]

I just picked up a fairly solid 79 510 sports coupe last weekend. Some of you guys may notice this car from previous owner that were on this site. I has been through numerous owners in the last 5 years. Some previous from what I can tell have restored the interior, added a Weber carburetor, and some good and some in my opinion not so good modifications. This is a very informative site and hope to be a help as well as get some in the process of repairing and driving my new Datsun. I have been a Toyota Master Technician for the last 10 years and hope to give it some much needed cleaning and hopefully some more get up. So I decided to start a project log.

Then I put some Turbo Z wheels on and dropped it a bit.

Then after I swapped in the tachometer for the 3 dummy lights. I had to get some sort of way to tell of my alternator was charging and if I had oil pressure. Found this in my dads garage from some old project and thought it would do well enough.

I picked up a U20 manifold and a pair of SU's to see if it helps it run better than the Weber 32/36 do up top. I shortened the manifold and rebuilt the SU's. I'm getting closer to installing them I think.
