Jetscat7 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I have about 7 pics from when we bought it but I can’t seem to load them. Does anyone have a suggestion please? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 In very basic shorthand you will need to get a picture hosting account, something like Image shack or Ingur, there are dozens but I strongly suggest NOT Photobucket. Have a look around, most are free often with an extra charge for more options, but the basic will do the job. Load and store your pictures there and when you want to use one here in a post go and copy the picture information and bring it to Ratsun. Paste the picture in your post and viola! I'm no good with explaining this and this is a very abbreviated explanation. Quote Link to comment

Seeker > 620 KC Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I like the blue interior! Pretty scare these days. Everyone has to have black these days. The seat and door panels are beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 The brown or tan dash pad was only available on the '79, all other years were black. Black just goes with anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

Jetscat7 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 What is the easiest way to lower the 79 620? I am looking to drop it 2-3 inches. 1 Quote Link to comment

Jetscat7 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Oh really? I did not realize it was that easy. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm going off my knowledge of my 521 with king pins and what I've read... I believe the only real difference is you have factory ball joints, but everything else is fairly similar to earlier models..... You will still have to deal with a little realignment on the front.... as the front drops the wheels will camber in.... But I think that's as simple as removing a few shims where the upper control arm bolts on to the frame..... Rear is straight axle so just get the angle blocks to keep the pinion angle correct but it should be just that easy..... others probably have a part number, I dont..... 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Adjust your rear brakes before installing blocks. Quote Link to comment
Jetscat7 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Does anyone know the best place to get JDM wheels for the 79 620? They are 6x5.5. I am not sure the offset. I am learning that there are a lot of great options for the 4 lug but not for the 6. 1 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 i bought mine on ebay. Type: jdm 6x137.9 1 Quote Link to comment
Jetscat7 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 So I just had all the vacuum lines redone and confirmed that there all in the correct place. Now the truck wont idle at all. It seems like the gas pedal response is very bad. Would that be a fuel delivery issue now? It did sit for awhile before I got it running. Also the vacuum lines were all messed up or missing. So now the vacuum lines are done and I will look into other issues. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Was it running and idling before? If it was, changing vacuum lines is not going to affect fuel delivery. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Wouldnt be the first time some one has tried to tune to a vacuum leak.... Start from square one, Make sure you idle and air screws are set right and timing is good..... Has the carb been cleaned at all? If not check that too.... may just have a clogged idle jet....

banzai510(hainz) Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 maybe idel jet plugged or 12volt wire fell off. pour gas in carb does it start then? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Needs spark and needs gas. Spark.... pull plug wire off and stick an old plug in the end. Lay on grounded surface and try starting. Is there spark??? Yes... goo the gas. Gas..... Check front of carburetor glass for fuel level. Got gas? Pump several times, accelerator pump will squirt enough gas to start. Start now? yes but won't idle. Shut off and turn ignition to ON OFF ON OFF and listen at rear of carburetor for the idle cut solenoid to click. No click = no gas to the idle circuit. Follow wire back to plug at front of carburetor and connect. Should idle now. Quote Link to comment
