Pacesetter L series Valve cover

[DatJeepSun620]

I have a pacesetter L series valve cover that i acquired a while back and want to see if anyone can give me more info on it. Its in great conditions never been on a motor just the cap is a little dented up. Ill post a couple pictures later when im on my home computer. I've only seen the old post on here from 2012 that someone was selling one for $600

Morbid curiosity is waiting for pictures.....

I doubt is SOLD for $600. Other than it's dress up appeal, I can't see any valve cover being an improvement over the original. I'd rather have new tires or rims or suspension mods or brakes, or.....

I’d say it’s more of a want then a need since I bought It mainly for the cool rare factor then wanting to throw it on my l18

Coolness :)

I like the fins, and would run one.

 

Looks like a Kameari cover from Japan.

Here is their L6 version, and made for the North American market, hence the 'Datsun' logo.

Never seen the 'Coonan' before.

Doubt if I would run it without machining the logo off.

Thanks for that I did It on my phone last night so people wouldn’t be waiting for pictures

Come on Mike. Different is cool, and if there's no loss in functionality, so what?

 

I personally don't like the valve cover, but I would find a use for it.

Datsun is about different, I try not to make fun of mods that retain functionality while looking cool cause that's what it's all about

 Different is not always cool, sometimes it's just different for the sake of being different. I don't like it much either but I wouldn't find a use for it (I don't smoke)... I'd sell it for $600 so someone else could appreciate it more. Na meen?

[DatJeepSun620]

It may not be for everyone but i know someone may want it more then i do. Its a pretty cool piece especially for its time which i dont know its time maybe 80s? early 90s? 

[G-Duax]

I'd guess the '70s.

 

I would like to be stupid, and try a clear plastic one.....with LEDs inside that strobe in different colors.

If you sync.ed the strobe to the rpm, you could freeze the motion while running :)

Mike, after years of racing bikes, I kind of resemble a bent fork, especially in the morning.

Selling it is cool. Money for some other mod.

Every morning I have to stretch before even trying to get up out of bed. I try to incorporate more stretching during the work day. I also had to 'let go' and ask people to lift heavy things into the trunk. Just keep moving. I see too many people shuffling along like they are made of glass.

I'm beginning to know these feelings, that's why I'm trying to convince my nephew to get interested in helping me on the Blue car that's all apart one day. Make use of some of that young skin too so I don't get too beat up.

We must have missed something. Sounds like a Jane Fonda video going on here.

I was diagnosed with relapsing/remitting mid/late onset superannuation.

My lack of medical knowledge makes it hard for me to know if you're really sick, or if you're referring to your pension. If the former, I am sorry.
