Strange! OK, so it is not a Datsun 620 item.
Did it have a "NABCO" or "TOKICO" cast into it?
Made in Japan?
I've seen some strange stuff from O'Reilly,
like the "made it China" replacement hydraulic
parts -- same thing shows up by AutoZone.
Used one of the "made in china" on a later
model Datsun ('79) as I was in a bind on a
Sunday and needed to get a car back on the
road. Alas, the master cylinder lasted three
months...
Cheers,
Tom
