i went to the swap meet in sac and picked up a dizzy while i was at the swap meet he started rebuilding the heater box


the ei dizzy i picked up


and my non smog intake painted blue to match the block

_________________

got a weber 32/36 today




some pics of the engine compartment excuse the wiring mess im running the wires for the fan controler atm so its kinda messy but the recerver dryer is mounted



compresser mounted with idler pully


and a over all shot of the car it looks like i raised it a little but in reality the supention needs to be settled cause i picked the car up again



im working on a deal for a header locally


now a question with the weber adapter i have the throttle linkage will bind since it came off a truck the carb is already set up for a cable what is a good vehicle to pull a cable setup from? should i take everything pedal and all? im thinking of pulling it from a 620 or a 521 would this work?

_________________

620 would probably be the easiest, but you can pull the cable/pedal from almost any Nissan and it will work. I've used S10 200SX, S110 200SX, HL-A10, Z31 300ZX, 620, and 720...

S110 200SX is ideal but it's a loooong cable. Good for the KA swap.

620 should have the most appropriate length cable.

cool thread!!...lots of progress

yeah i do intend to get a good paint job on it i just havent decided on a color yet and im not getting that header i posted dude is on drigs and wants $300 for it

_________________

If it's ceramic-coated, $300 isn't really out of line. Mind you it's no "bargain", but not terrible.

Hell the Kirk headers from Nismo were $275, and they were just chrome not ceramic. But they were 4-2-1.

yeah but when i can get the same header brand new minus the coating for $170 shipped to my door i would rather go that way i am on a tight budget with this build

as i said same header half the cost its on its way to me

_________________

Very cool! Way to bounce back!

roof is done and in primer now the only rust left is the little bit of cancer in the rear window frame



and just because its a bad ass shot

shows how low it is

did some more today i wired in a new choke relay and put in the inline fill cap i got from the yard and a new overflow tank
i know the engine compartment is dirty but thats the beauty of the bed liner its easy to clean and doesnt look very dirty even when its filthy

_________________

...I was really hoping you were going to fill in the sidemarkers, and use the other grille...

...And still hope you indeed are

Looks great though in any case, jealousy.

i plan to get my early fenders fixed and run the early grill but for now i have late model fenders and grill i can run

Damn I need to get my 610 back on the road...

damn ive been slacking on this thread

well i drove the car down to montery california (2.75 hour drive) and when i get there there is no coolent in it my "nos" overflow bottle couldnt take the heat so it melted and when the radiator overflowed it just dumped out onto the pavement well i babied it home stopping every half hour or so to make sure it was full then went to the junk yard and found a overflow bottle out of a 280zx that fit in the stock windsheild washer bottle mounting bracket



then after driving it with the weber header and freeflowing exhaust the timing chain started showing its age and since it has needed a head gasket for a while i went to work






in the next 2 shots you can see why i didnt do rings and bearings the
original hone marks are still there and there was no ring groove the lower end of this block is in great shape why fix it if it isnt broke?







the old parts




topped off with a polished DATSUN valve cover




i winterized the rust in the back window its only temporary till body work starts



and a cool pic i took while playing with my phone


while i was reasembling the overflow nipple broke on my mr2 inline filler so i took some marine apoxy and a bit of brakeline problem soved


whew thats my update she pulls hard now and when its wet its very difficult to keep the rear tires planted

_________________

well today i started bodywork O_O its really not that hard just time consuming as some may remember when i got the car the early 73 left fender was damaged as seen here



and you can kind of see it here


now i spent about an hour with a hammer and a few dollies and got it to this point



its not done but its almost ready for filler the way it is now a little more time with the hammer and dolly and it will be good as new
