I ran both a Nissan LSD(with a 4.38) and later a Detroit Locker(with 4.62) Gordon is right the LSD was a compromise when trying to use it for street and track getting the pre-load just right was diff
I had the same problem years ago. The problem was that I was using thin stock to make the cover. I had a local shop make one and they machined it from a 1" aluminum block, hasn't leaked since. covere
The former site of National Speedway (actually in Manorville) is now the home of a retirement community, maybe they have some golf cart racing. Jerry -- Original Message -- From: "datsunmike" <datsu
It's 458 and I found it on the outside of the back cover. If some have five digit numbers, they may be later versions, I have one of the first. If you want to make it authentic, you should get the cl
My first engine in My 67.5 Solex was assembled by Bob Sharp Racing, and was about 12.5:1. The compression was raised by using the domed top 1600 pistons that were fly cut for valve clearance. The he
I just remembered another thing that contributed to raising the compression; the block was bored .00040 Jerry Krakauer /// datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net mailing list /// Archives at http://www.tea

I Agree with Paul. Never had much of a problem with the brakes on my CP SRL which I raced in the late 60s - early70s. Ferodo DS11 material on the front and Nissan green stuff for the rear. Of course
My 2 cents, Although I never owned an MGB My first car was a MGA, different chassis but basically the same engine and running gear. Fun to drive, but as all know, lots of reliability issues. Everybod
U20 +.040 = 12910-25515, at least this is the number from 1969. Jerry Krakauer SRL311 00099 -- Original Message -- From: "Peter Jones" <dato1500@hotmail.com> To: <datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net> Sen
Pulled out some old figures from the early 70s for a head that BSR worked on for me: chamber volume = 36.5 cc volume of piston and head gasket = 10 cc bore = .0040 over compression ratio = 11.7:1 BTW
Guess I'm lucky. Originally registered my roadster in NY. Prior to 1973 NY was not a title state, the registration was proof of and used to transfer ownership. Good thing I've kept mine all these yea
The front seal on the 5 sp (at least the early ones) was always a weak point and tended to leak, even before the days of synthetics. The fix the Sharp people used(I think it's undocumented and not in
Slip and slide powerglide was not as bad as the Buick Dynaflow. aka "Dynaslow". Forerunner of today's CVTs, but different technology. The torque converter had variable stators that changed pitch duri
I've been using '303 Aerospace Protectant' on several cars, (but not my roadster). Like the results over time, it's claimed to have excellent UV protection, and FWIW the BMW crowd loves it. Jerry Kra
Don't know if there was any variation during the production year but I've owned my 67.5 SRL since new and the twisties are plain stainless color, not black. Jerry Krakauer SRL311 00099 ______________
How about Ted taking Dick on a hunting trip to Cape Cod......two (dodo) birds with one stone? BTW if they did fit in a roadster there wouldn't be any arguments about who sat on the right or left. Jer
My 67.5 SRL came new with bias ply white walls, Toyos if I recall.. Got rid of them in less than a week. The first replacements were Pirelli Cinturatos 165x14, which was plus 1 sizing for 4.5" wheels
