Googling and cross referencing PCI, Cloyes (they make timing components),

It's a 94 link double-roller, with a pitch of 3/8" (For a roller chain, the

Here is what I come up with for the R16 and the lower U20:

We need some 2000 / U20 owners to check into this if they're interested. I
just spent 4 hours trying to find a part I'll never own, need, or use, but
thought it might be worth it if it's the real deal. Someone who has OEM or

There seems to be a problem with the links, I checked and tested them here and

Just use the search for the "Online Shopping" and do not select for a specific

Just got a recall notice on my 2004 Tacoma truck for frame rot. I was
previously told by Toyota that my truck was not affected. Their solution if
there is a problem.

REPLACE THE FRAME.        HELLO??????

Why can't we get a Nissan recall on bad transmissions or worn timing gears or
rusty rocker panels on the roadster.

I can't imagine what it will take to remove the frame from a truck with
139,000 miles on it. Do they replace everything else they break like
exhaust,ball joints etc when they pull it apart. Well I will know next week.

Because those are not safety issues.  A frame rotting out in a few years IS.

I would not worry about it.  Toyota is a great company.  They recalled like 15
years of trucks last year or two years ago for the same frame issue.  My
friend had a 1996 Tacoma with 180,000 miles on it.  He took it to the dealer
and the dealer put his entire thumb through the frame with very little effort.
They told him that they could not legally let him take the truck off the lot.
They gave him a free loaner car for a week.  They said the truck was not worth
fixing, so they gave him 1 and a half times Kelly Blue Book excellent value.
His trunk was a POS as he is a construction guy and beat the hell out of it.
Bottom line is that he drove the truck for 3 years and boat load of miles and
got back $500 less than what he bought it for.



Several other friends had received the same letter and all had the same deal
of repair or 1.5 times KBB excellent.  They seem to be working very hard to
retain their customers.



Granted the brake deal is pretty scarey, but think about how many times your
ford or chevy left you stranded and what did they give you?  Nothing!



My two cents (and I am not even a Toyota owner)

I have a small automotive repair shop near me that I often refer single
ladies to.  They have always done a great job for the ladies and all are now
regular customers because they know they are not getting ripped off.

A while back I went by the shop and there was a frame sitting up against the
outside wall.  It was for a Ford pickup, and the wrong frame for the truck
it was for.  They told me that they regularly change frames by using their
lift to lift the body off of the frame and swap the suspension and drive
train over to the new frame because if there is any damage at all to the
frame in an accident Ford does not authorize repair of any sort for safety
reasons.  According to the shop owner changing the frame if you have the
right equipment is not all that big of a deal.

Unless you're connecting to a brand new cable, I would lube the cable with
some graphite. Nothing worse than a whiny speedometer cable.

Greg,

I'll echo Dan's comment about lubricating the speedo cable -- there is a 
graphite-based cable lube in liquid form (powered graphite in a liquid 
carrier) which will go down the annulus between the cable and sheath nicely. 
If it weren' such a b____ getting the cable off the trans end, I'd pull the 
cable to lube it -- that way you're sure to get lubricant all the way 
through.

Other than that, hook it up and go.

Gary

If my memory serves me correctly, there is a manual available that covers the Weber's in great detail.  I cannot recall if HP, Motorsports books, or who publishes it.  You might check Amazon and see if you find it there. 
Good luck, Dewey

Greg,         Do not use grease on the cable.......  I did did this, before
inquiring.
I had the car on a lift, removed the cable at the trans, & put a libiral amt.
of grease on the cable & reinstalled it.    About ( 2 ) wks later I had grease
in my Speedo housing.
Jon Frampton saved my  ( A )     I also had to flush the cable housing & start
over
with graphite on the cable !!  The cable acted like an Auger & moved the
grease to the speedo housing.    Herb Petty.   :-(

FYI:

Graphite on the cable. DO NOT OIL OR GREASE.

And, from The Man himself:

Glad to hear you are happy with the work. The only thing I can suggest is
that you make sure your "inner cable" (The part that drives the speedo) does
not bottom out inside the gauge while you are tightening the cable. I've
only seen it happen a few times and in that instance it will wear out your
speedo in a very short time. You may even consider not cranking the threads
all the way down just in case.

Message-ID: <14215910.1267593334601.JavaMail.root@mswamui-thinleaf.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

Since we are on the speedometer topic, I have a 67' 1600 I picked up and the speedo is not working. I removed the cable from the back of the speedo and it is not moving. I then crawled under the car to remove and then re-attach the cable to the tranny. There is a nub on the cable that seems to fit in a groove in the end of the speedo gear in/on the tranny and I made sure it fit well. The cable is still NOT moving. Could the cable be broken inside? Or is it possibly the driven gear in the tranny itself? There seems to be quite a bit of grease on the tranny end of the cable.
  Thanks for any help.

Maybe next time I'll give a multiple choice test ;-)

There was a slight problem with Team.Net mail this morning,
problem fixed.  Things should be back to as normal as they

I'll just remind folks that Team.Net doesn't just appear by magic, there 
is a real
person behind it all, putting in the necessary hours on a volunteer 
basis.  It would
be nice if it were a paying gig ( feel free to make use of the info on 
the page that
the donate link below points to ) but it is something I just do in my 
spare time.
Sometimes, like this morning, problems can arise and I do have a life, I 
don't
spend 24 hours a day monitoring the servers in my basement.  Sometimes it
just seems that way ;-)

If you want to put a face to the name, check out the first picture at

http://www.team.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27

 
Now that I thinking about it, I'll add another forum.  Later this
spring I'm going to be updating a lot of the Team.Net web pages.  I imagine
folks on the various lists ( 60+ ) I run would like to share pictures 
and such
in a manner structered differently than a string of forum messages.
Something along the lines of what I set up a while ago, at
http://www.team.net/the-local/tiki-galleries.php

Stay tuned for further developments.

Once upon a time I had a speedo quit working in my 4-speed. I asked myself 
the same questions and checked in to the problem the same as you're doing. I 
eventually pulled the speedo pinion drive out of the tranny tailshaft. It's 
held in the tailshaft housing with a little screw and lock plate. It may be 
hard to see if it's covered with grime. I discovered the teeth in the nylon 
pinion gear were stripped and worn down. I put a new gear in and all was 
well.

If you remove and replace the speedo pinion drive for any reason, make sure 
you get it seated in the correct orientation. If you look at it, you will 
see it is offset by design to allow it to be rotated in the tailshaft 
housing for proper adjustment. If it's not adjusted correctly, you'll soon 
wear the nylon gear down again. BTDT.
This info also applies to the 5-speed tranny.

The key code is on the center consol lock if you still have that. A locksmith
can cut it from the code

 I got key blanks at a good locksmith, who made ignition keys.  Also center
console and trunk lock, as I recall are the same and should have the same
code.

Hi everyone

I just don't get it. How can I have clear bubble-less fluid out of all 8 bleeder screws, and still no pedal?  Bad (new) master cylinder?

I have volvo calipers in front. Last time out brakes were fine. Took them apart to add cooling ducts. Re-assembled and tried to bleed system, but m/c leaked out the back. Replaced with NOS aftermarket m/c.

Thanks for your help

  Yes, I still had it connected to the tranny while I was looking at the speedo end, but no spin. I'll take it completely out and check both ends as I turn it by hand; maybe it will come apart in pieces after pulling the ends.

I then crawled under the car to remove and then re-attach the cable to the tranny. There is a nub on the cable that seems to fit in a groove in the end of the speedo gear in/on the tranny and I made sure it fit well. The cable is still NOT moving. Could the cable be broken inside? Or is it possibly the driven gear in the tranny itself? There seems to be quite a bit of grease on the tranny end of the cable.

I've had problems with air bubbles in the master cylinder.  The master
cylinder slopes up away from the driver.  A bubble can get in the very end.
All the bleeding in the world wouldn't get it out.  My solution was to take
the front wheels off and set the front end almost on the ground.  I then
jacked the rear of the car several feet up.  I think I either backed the
rear wheels onto the trailer or I used my engine crane to pick the rear up.
Anyway, I jacked it up in the rear until a torpedo level on the master
cylinder showed it was sloped slightly the other way.  A few pumps with the
bench bleeder screws open and a large bubble made its way through the tube.
Then the brake pedal was very stiff.

When I did mine I had the same problem.  I bleed all brakes a few times, but 
no pressure at the pedal.  It ended up that the back adjuster needed to

I had struggled lots, then read this same suggestion from Andy, and now
back my car up on the Rhino ramps at each bleeding, and it is going much
better (lots more room to work too).

No pedal seems strange for what Steve has done, I would expect some
pedal but real squishy.

Steve, I have some bench bleeding tubes (stole them from a 521 truck in
pick-a-part, why the 521 truck had an SAE master and lines I'll never
know).  Let me know if you want me to send them along with the other
package, which I have yet to get in the post.....

A back adjuster is a chiropractor. lol

 

If you are talking about the back brakes or shoe brakes in general it is the
device foe putting tension on the shoes getting them closer to the drum.

Andy's solution makes perfect sense.  I've always wondered if we have the same problem with the rear wheel cylinders since the bleeders are on the bottom of the cylinders. What were they thinking when they designed that?  It's a bit difficult to turn the car upside down to bleed the rear brakes.

I had read somewhere on the List or Forum that a someone had  pulled the 
axles and reversed them so the bleeders were at the top. I think I have a 
pic of that somewhere. I was going to do it to mine the next time I have to 
service the rear wheel cylinders or axles. Unfortunately this was after I 
had already rebuilt the rear axle and brake system. I don't want to take it 
all apart just for that. If I remember correctly he had to rebend some new 
lines going to the cylinders and modify the parking brake linkage since it 
was moved to the front of the axle.

My 66 roadster has 2 keys (original). Same code for ignition, console,  
and trunk. One key works for all 3. The other is a valet key that only  
operates the ignition but won't unlock the console or trunk; this key  
is slightly shorter.

Do they still sell blanks? If they do, what does the original 67.5 key look
like?

Funny about keys.  My early 66 that I have had for 33 years (2nd owner) has 3
keys.  All Griffons.  Red is ignition, one black opens doors, glove box and
console, other one for the trunk only.  Never seen that combination on any
other roadster, but there it is.

Hi All -

 

If anyone on the list has acquired a 1500 Fairlady recently and hasn't sent
me an email with the VIN # and the G motor number, it would be greatly
appreciated.  I have been accumulating the cross reference numbers for a
couple years and would like to keep it up to date.

 

Thanks in advance.

Way too many possibilities, other than carburetion, to try to diagnose 
remotely.  If there is truly fuel leaking from the nozzles, the condition of 
the carbs themselves is questionable.  If all other things with the engine 
are correct, you should only need to "open" the mixture one turn from full 
closed.

Have you checked for intake manifold leaks?  When leaving our subdivision 
one morning many years ago, I came to a stop sign and the engine died.  I 
cranked it up again, and it quit.  I quickly figured out it would run if I 
kept it above 3000 rpm.  When I checked under the hood, I noticed that one 
of the plugs I had installed in the intake manifold -- in the anti-backfire 
inlets -- had fallen out.  I got the car back home and installed a spare.

Perhaps others will have more to say.

Hi All

Is there an easy way to get drum brake return springs back on? (front 
drum brakes on a '65 1500) - Is there a reason there is so much tension 
on these springs? - I'm wondering if the return springs have been 
changed at some time, the ones in the manual are shown "hooked" at both 
ends, mine are hooked at one end only, the other end had a kind of 
dogleg that goes through the backing plate.

Any advice appreciated

Cheers
Rob

It acts like a vacuum leak to me as well. Fuel pump, distributor, gaskets,
everything else is new. Are there any hidden plugs in the manifold or head or
any other sources of a vacuum leak that I may be missing?

A newly rebuilt 2000 that dies after 3000 RPM:  my first guess is that the
timing chain might have been installed one tooth off.  My old 2000 ran strong
up to about 4000 but cranked hard and wanted to run on after shut down.  That
was my problem.  Easy to check visually by pulling the timing cover and
looking at the top sproket (check the book for how it is supposed to line up).
Good luck finding the problem.

A vacuum gauge is a great tool to diagnose for leaks, valve timing (timing
chain
postion)and general health of engine (valves and rings).  You can rent one or
get a free loaner at many auto parts shops and they are inexpensive to buy.
Connect it up to the intake manifold.

If excess fuel is leaking from the jet nozzles (assuming out of the carb
mouth),
it seems to me that something is wrong with the carbs (float levels or needle
valves).

Double check the ignition timing.

"It acts like a vacuum leak to me as well. Fuel pump, distributor, gaskets,
everything else is new. Are there any hidden plugs in the manifold or head or
any other sources of a vacuum leak that I may be missing?"

Gary:
Way too many possibilities, other than carburetion, to try to diagnose
remotely.
If there is truly fuel leaking from the nozzles, the condition of the carbs
themselves is questionable.  If all other things with the engine are correct,
you should only need to "open" the mixture one turn from full closed.

Have you checked for intake manifold leaks?  When leaving our subdivision one
morning many years ago, I came to a stop sign and the engine died.  I cranked
it
up again, and it quit.  I quickly figured out it would run if I kept it above
3000 rpm.  When I checked under the hood, I noticed that one of the plugs I
had
installed in the intake manifold -- in the anti-backfire inlets -- had fallen
out.  I got the car back home and installed a spare.

Perhaps others will have more to say.

Message-ID: <7C667DC7E9684A7D87A6328A80367218@CarmelPC>

doing a front suspension rebuild, and a few questions:
1. there is a d-shaped "thingy" shown underneath the bump stop in the shop
manual:
http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/Images/38.gif
appears to be either #45 or #48.
Mine didn't have it when coming apart, appears to be a shim of some sort.
What is it, and why?  (nad it it has no holes drilled in it, however would it
be mounted / afixed?)

2. My upper Ball joints have had the Zerk removed and a screw put in, both of
them.  I can fill them now (cause the A-arm is removed), but shouldn't there
be a Zerk here as well?

OK, 3rd question, what is the correct Zerk thread, as I'll probably install
one here.

And finally, am I the only one that gets a mental picture of some goon from
F-Troop when he says Zerk? (that is why I capitalize it....)

D thingie - My 1970 didn't have this either
I put zerks in the upper ball joint (90 degrees) as well - don't know the
thread but it seemed to be standard since i got them from autozone
There were a coupl of other places with screws iso zerks - tie rod ends for
one - replaced them as well
Does anyone know the EXACT # of zerks on the car??

That's me. I bought Dan Zubkoff's 64 3 seater a few weeks ago. 4SPL31002511
(is my recollection). All the info is the same, just change of owners. Engine
number should be the same as he registered. I'm at work, so I don't have the
numbers right here with me.

Fergus,

I recently parted an early 67 car and it had the "D" thingys that you are
speak of under the front bump stops.  I have never seen these on late cars and
believe they were used on early 67 and earlier cars.  I believe the intent is
to help hold the two sides of the A arms together structurally so the load
isn't carried by the ball joint alone.

Well here's the way I do it on my '67:

Before mounting the shoes on the backing plate, I fit the springs on the 
shoes first, then hold the shoes with the linings facing towards me, like 
holding a book half-open. Then, I engage the ends of the shoes onto the 
wheel cylinder and adjuster, and "unfold" the shoes open and flat against 
the backing plate. This gives more leverage than trying to manually stretch 
the springs.

There is a special little brake tool that's kind of like a small pry bar 
that's bent just right to work with brake springs. I have one, but I never 
use it, preferring to just fold them over like I described. Mine's a '67 so 
maybe this won't work on the 1500.

It was patented by Oscar U. Zerk in 1929. I thought everyone knew that.

Subject: [Roadsters] update on 1500 VIN's and Motor numbers
Message-ID: <832538A45C214651B237AC3C5B8E4170@NOTEBOOK>

We have Identified 96 cars.  Nineteen don't have the G motor number, 7 have
indicated running 1600 R motors.  I had a 64 that was converted to a R
motor, but it went to the crusher in 1973 unfortunately.  Don't even have
the VIN off that one.

 

It appears that by the motor number the first production roadster was around
VIN -00075.  All Roadster from 001 to early 70's had production G motors
ranging from 89000 - 92000, and all were stamped '64.  Best of the research
I can find showed the first 300 roadsters came out with a single carb, but
if they were not sold in 1963, they were retrofitted with a dual intake
manifold and stamped '64 and also shown as 85 HP vs. 77 HP (dual vs. single
carb).

 

If anyone knows of a VIN ending 00069 - 00075 if you can get me the motor
ID, it would greatly help the debate as to what was the first Fairlady off
the full assembled production line.  It appears all pre 00070 where made
without a motor and put on the shelf for a year.

List,

 

I was at a local O'Reilly auto parts store last week and checked to see if
they handled rear brake shoes for my new 68. They did offer them so I
purchased a set. When they arrived I discovered that they were about 7" in
diameter (ours are 9"). I returned them and the manager ordered every set he
could to see which ones may fit. We did find a match which listed as fitting
a 1968 to 1977 Datsun. Their computer shows that part number 371 fits
SPL311. That's wrong. The correct part number is 359. Hoping this will keep
anyone from making three extra trips to the auto parts store.

P.S. They were $17.00 a set.

Yes,  here are the specs from the O'reilly website:
Brake Best - Brake Shoe
Part Number: 371
  a.. Rear
  b.. Bonded
  c.. 8 X 1.38 Inch
  d.. Limited Lifetime Warranty

The brake shoes part numbers thing is a common issue. Here is more info and 
the comment I posted on the 311s forum.

and here is my comment to Linda's question:

According to the specs in the Haynes Manual for 1968 thru 1973 510, the rear 
drum for the 510 is also 228.6mm (9.0"), same as the Roadster drum. The 
shoes for the 510 will fit the roadster drum, but some people have had 
problems with them. By mistake, some parts counter catalogs will list a 
smaller 8" or larger 10" arced shoe as being correct for the 510. These 
won't work. So make sure they list the correct 510 part numbers for the 9" 
shoes.

Recently, I purchased some parts via the CSK (O'Relly's) Website for a Datsun.
Their catalog has numerous mistakes, even pricing mistakes.

Tried buying two calipers. For the right side, the caliper had a $3.50 core
price. For the left it was $35.00 . The customer support team researched the
actual core price and found it was $5 for the left and $5 for the right.

They updated the catalog and I was able to order the parts the next day.

Have you had a chance to match them up to an OEM shoe? I got an
aftermarket set thru Kargen a few years back and while the metal
backing was correct, the amount and positioning of the shoe
material was quite different. The brakes seem fine to me for the
daily driving I do, but I suspect the stopping characteristics
under high performance driving will be different. Good different
or bad different I don't know :-)

I ran into the same mistake, have a set of 371 shoes in the basment.  Have
to find out what they really fit and Ebay them.  Apperently, it's a glitch
in the software, and everyone uses the same flawed software, Rock Auto,
major chains and local stores.  The paper catalogs have the correct listings
in most cases, or just make note of the correct part number, 359 that Steve
mentioned.  The leters before the part #, like AB-359 for example, are the
manufacturers different gradings, but in 99% of cases, the numerical part #
denoting the application is a constant between all major brands.

Subject: [Roadsters] 1600 flywheel
Message-ID: <784833.94595.qm@web113009.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

I'm curious about the flywheel on my 1970 1600.  About 5 years ago I replaced
the clutch and had the flywheel turned.  It had a concentric step about 3/16
inch high with a diameter matching the clutch face.  I had the machine shop
match this profile and just clean it up.  The clutch housing mounts on
the perimeter outside this surface so effectively the clutch face is 3/16 inch
closer to the flywheel.  Has anyone seen this on a roadster?  I've always had
difficulty in adjusting the clutch and finally put on all new hydraulics and
pedal pin thinking I'd be able to get more travel out of the system.  Nothing
seemed to changed.  Looking through the litature available all flywheel
diagrams appear to show a flush surface across the whole face.  Any opinions
if this could impact clutch adjustment?

Brad,

It might make the flywheel too thin, but, unless you run out of travel on 
the slave cylindes operating rod, I don't think it should affect clutch 
adjustment.

Steve - Sorry about the late delay, my internet access was down a  
couple days.

All I know about is my keys for a 1966, but I think they are the same  
for a 1967.5 - ask an owner. I don't know about the blanks. Ask  
around, someone might be able to help you find one. Like I said, the  
valet key is slightly shorter - looks like a regular key that operates  
all locks can have the tip ground shorter to only operate the doors  
and ignition like my valet key. I've got copies of my 66 keys, "Curtis  
DA-18". Or you can look for shorter blanks.

I have found similar keys on eBay.  The long key to access all locks  
looks like
  Key Blank Taylor D74E D. L. DT6 Datsun Nissan 1966-1970
(Enter this in an eBay search).

The shorter valet key for door and ignition only looks like
Key Blank Dominion Lock DT1 Datsun Nissan 1966-70 D74F
(Enter this in an eBay search).

My keys look like the Dominion keys, except for having a Griffin and  
NISSAN logo in the center of the square key head on both sides. Im not  
certain these blanks will work, but the pictures appear to match my  
keys.

Message-ID: <8CC8CF282B57B56-692C-7FBA@webmail-d049.sysops.aol.com>

The transmission in my 1969 2000 is starting to pop out of 2nd gear.  It only
happens infrequently but once it occurs I can not use 2nd at all.  There is no
grinding or any other noise.  It simply goes right back into neutral.  If I
shut off the engine for a few minutes then restart, the transmission seems to
work normally once again.

This car has the Mikuni carbs and runs great, but I am fearful that if I drive
it under these conditions I might destroy the transmission.  Any advice from
anybody would be much appreciated.  I am not a mechanic at all, so any
solution would need to be done at a shop.  Are there rebuild 5-speeds
available?  Can these trannys be rebuilt at a local shop?  Are there even
parts available?   Any ideas, even ones that are of significant cost, will  be
helpful.

My wife and I love this car and enjoy the warm days taking road trips.  As we
approach our retirement years, we planned on taking this car on longer trips,
but in this condition it seems to be very risky.

Thanks,

Dick Schneiders

There seems to be a problem with the links, I checked and tested them here

on the Forum, but now they don't seem to be working.

Just use the search for the "Online Shopping" and do not select for a
specific

This is for the upper chain of the U20: NTP 94027

It's a 94 link double-roller, with a pitch of 3/8" (For a roller chain, the

We need some 2000 / U20 owners to check into this if they're interested. I
just spent 4 hours trying to find a part I'll never own, need, or use, but
thought it might be worth it if it's the real deal. Someone who has OEM or

I am almost certain the MGC was not an OHC engine, so the SRL chain would have
no purpose.  Same for the Hillman and Minx.  Could be the lower chain, but not
the upper.

  hi  dick, in my experience with that 5 spd. i would make a strong guess

that the problem is the shift pin on the 1-2 shift rod. that was the weak
point

on the u20 5 spd. you have to r&r the eng., trans., and take the case apart
to

get to the shift rods and pins. btw, DO NOT just replace the one bad shift
pin.

do them all. you can get double(THICK) roll pins, or you can just put in new
stock

roll pins, and buy a bunch of 3/32 " drill bits, to drive in side of the
stock

pins  and break off flush.

  also, to get an idea if the pins are at fault, when you lose 2nd gear, push

the shifter back hard against 1st gear, then gently try for 2nd. if it works,

then its a broken shift pin. this is not a definitive test. while apart, this
is

a good time to ck. 5th gear(for being splined), and mabe put in frt. and

rear seals. lastly, if you lose 2nd gear, it doesnt hurt to drive the

car, skip shifting 2nd. gear.(mabe some extra clutch plate wear).

  good luck, bob smith, ohio.

Subject: [Roadsters] Gas tank woes
Message-ID: <000001cabf23$b5934a90$20b9dfb0$@net>

My new /old 1968 L18 powered addition has had the PO backyard Murphy
mechanical upgrade option applied to the gas tank. The PO either didn't have
a roadster tank or wanted to go retro and decided to cut a 22.5" x 17" hole
in the trunk and drop in a racing fuel cell, half in the trunk and half
hanging out the bottom. It's supported in the trunk by two  2 x 4's (painted
black so I got that going for me) front and back which are not attached to
the car, just hanging there at the grace of gravity. I guess if I kept the
tank full all the time the weight would help keep the tank from coming into
the trunk compartment on a twisty road run.

 

I'm planning on replacing the trunk metal and converting the car back to an
original roadster tank. I have three spare tanks which I inspected and found
two that need to be cleaned, etched and sealed. The third is in great spare
but appears to be an older tank. There is one threaded fitting at the front
and a 90 degree vent tube on the top, next to the fuel gauge opening. The
other two tanks have two fittings at the front so I'm guessing that they are
later model tanks? Will this "one line tank"  work with a 68 with a L18
engine or do I need a return line fitting? 

 

Thanks

 

Steve

P.S. 56 degrees today, for 10 minutes.

 WIx filters or Napa Gold are good. Don't use Fram!! Lots of failures. Check
out the Wix website for a run down on what makes a good filter.

Pureolater (pure oil later) are also still made in the USA and a good choice.

I agree, the Fram cans are no good anymore.

Jim,

Use the tube regardless of filter.  Its purpose is to keep oil in the 
galleries, so oil is supplied to the cam shaft bearings and chain tensioners 
more quickly on start-up.  Make sure the tube is as long as it can be 
without "topping out" on the inside of whatever filter you are using.

You're kidding, right?  The vendors get at least $300 for those, and more.

Keep in mind the following:

Datsun Roadsters haven't been manufactured in over 40 years.

When they were, I read somewhere that only about 5,000 cars of both 
models were imported to the US each year.  That's 5000 1600's and 5,000 
2 liters.
 So were talking about 10,000 cars a year.  Of those, probably half are 
long gone.  Trashed, crashed, crushed, left to rot, and not worth anything.

Of the one's left, less than half are runners, the others are parts 
cars, and the parts cars are being sold off every year, leaving less and 
less parts. 

I'm always amazed at how people seem to want the cars themselves to be 
worth a ton of money once restored, but they think the parts should be 
cheap, when there are so few of them!

It looks well built. I'd compare the asking price to that of a new
one. The real question is how much is your head/life worth? That said,
I took a similar roll bar out of my '70 2000, primarily because it
kept me from pushing the driver's seat all the way back.

I honestly doubt that anything short of a full SCCA legal cage is
going to help much in an accident, especially one between one of our
cars and many of the other vehicles we share the roads with these
days. Defensive (paranoid - :>)) driving is the best course of action,
IMHO.

FWIW,
Ron

Too true, and the situation for 510 parts is rapidly becoming the
same. I smack myself frequently when I think of the 510 bits I've
tossed out. The situation for Z-Cars is somewhat better, if you can
write the check! Motosports Auto and Black Dragon offer most Z sheet
metal, glass, body gaskets, etc, AFAIK, but there's no telling how
long that'll last. Hopefully a lot longer than parts for the roadsters
and the 510s.

I've been seriously considering building up a mid '90s Mustang. I like
the body style and they're plentiful. As a long Chevy person that may
be a hard decision, but there's a lot to be said fior inexpensive
buy-in and parts, plus easy availability.

There are several interesting comparison studies that have been done of oil
filters. Just Google "oil filter study" and you'll find them.

 WIx filters or Napa Gold are good. Don't use Fram!! Lots of failures. Check

On a 1970 1600 roadster is it necessary for the tube to remain inside a
modern
day filter? I guess this is a drain back tube?
Left it or remove it? Is there a certain filter that would be better than
another??

I hate to see people sell such high dollar stuff on ebay. The money charged by ebay for the final value fee, the paypal fee for payment, and the fee for any reserve amount is bad enough but one this high is crazy.

ebay hatin daily now

Message-ID: <BLU126-W23E10E8D66D9A96C53F380A5320@phx.gbl>

For All,



I remember a thread in here a year or so that almost got violent about how bad
Armor All vinyl protectant was, and then the conversation went on for quite
some time about what was best....so please hold the anger, just wanted to make
an observation:



I just sold my 22 year old Jeep Comanche Pickup truck.  This black truck never
spent more than a week in the garage over the last 22 years, and has been
parked in Florida, South Texas, and Virginia for most of its life.  Dash and
various vinyl parts care has been limited to one or two treatments per year of
a quick wipe with armor all.



No cracks in the dash, no splits in the vinyl.  Yep, it periodically had to
have the inside windows cleaned, once or twice per year, but overall I would
say that this stuff works quite well.



Best Regards,

Jim

The only problem I ever had with Armor All was when I used it on the
bench seat in my 70 PL521 truckmade that sucker so slippery that I had
to cinch the seatbelt up good and tight to keep from sliding from door
to door around corners!

The Armor All cleaner did the trick once when I put a pen in my pocket
with the cap off (white shirt... ). Sprayed the ink spot with Armor All
Cleaner, tossed the shirt in the wash and voil`no spot!

The only car I had that the dash cracked was a 1968 Datsun Roadster.  I could
not believe it - the thing actually cracked, even after using Armor All :)

When I had the Miata top replaced at a large upholstery shop, I asked them
about Armor All and such products.  They said to stay away from silicon based
products.  So, I went home and canceled my wife's breast implant operation....

Hey everyone,



The Dairyland Datsuns are officially back in business and we are gearing up
for the 2010 season (once this snow is gone).  We recently created a Facebook
fan page to post photos, events, and discussions.  If you are on facebook or
looking for a good reason to join, please become a fan.  Just type "Dairyland
Datsuns" in your Facebook search bar, we should be the only ones out there.



We are also in the process of putting together some shirts and other assorted
D.D. SWAG, which we will be posting to the site.  (Disclaimer - SWAG is not
being offered to raise money, just to raise awareness of the club and cars.
Any prices will be just to cover the cost of the item and shipping.)



Hope all is well with everyone.  Have a great 2010 season!



Dan

Subject: [Roadsters] Fuel gauge ohm range
Message-ID: <001001cac162$6e04bb00$4a0e3100$@net>

Group,

 

My 68 L18 doesn't have a fuel gauge in it so I'm planning on installing an
aftermarket (Equus) fuel gauge. They sell 3 types with different ohm
ratings. I called the factory and the service/support people thought that
the 8362 GM unit would work but they couldn't guaranty that it would. Does
anyone know the ohm range on our cars? 

 

The three ohm choices I have are as follows:

Group,







My 68 L18 doesn't have a fuel gauge in it so I'm planning on installing an

aftermarket (Equus) fuel gauge. They sell 3 types with different ohm

ratings. I called the factory and the service/support people thought that

the 8362 GM unit would work but they couldn't guaranty that it would. Does

anyone know the ohm range on our cars?







The three ohm choices I have are as follows:







#8361: Empty 73 - Full 10



#8362: Empty 0  -   Full 90



#8363: Empty 240 - Full 33







Any help is appreciated.

The only car I had that the dash cracked was a 1968 Datsun Roadster.  I could
not believe it  the thing actually cracked, even after using Armor All :)

When I had the Miata top replaced at a large upholstery shop, I asked them
about Armor All and such products.  They said to stay away from silicon based
products.  So, I went home and canceled my wifes breast implant operation....

For All,



I remember a thread in here a year or so that almost got violent about how
bad
Armor All vinyl protectant was, and then the conversation went on for quite
some time about what was best....so please hold the anger, just wanted to
make
an observation:



I just sold my 22 year old Jeep Comanche Pickup truck.  This black truck
never
spent more than a week in the garage over the last 22 years, and has been
parked in Florida, South Texas, and Virginia for most of its life.  Dash and
various vinyl parts care has been limited to one or two treatments per year
of
a quick wipe with armor all.



No cracks in the dash, no splits in the vinyl.  Yep, it periodically had to
have the inside windows cleaned, once or twice per year, but overall I would
say that this stuff works quite well.

While we are on the subject of Fuel Gauges; is it possible to remove the fuel
Gauge or the Speedometer without removing the dash board?  I'm afraid of the

I want to have a new set of manifold bolts on hand for when I attempt to install new carbs next month. 

Where can I get them? Send me some part numbers and a source please. I think I would prefer stainless if available. 

This is for a 70 1600 that has been desmogged.

Message-ID: <8CC9012C0BC057F-1130-B2A6@webmail-d050.sysops.aol.com>

I have been trying to reply to thank you for the help several of you gave me
about my 5-speed popping out of 2nd gear, but I must not know how to post a
reply.  I tried twice to send a reply, but they have not shown up on the
mailing list.  This is a new posting, under the same title - hopefully it will
work.


Greg asked where I live.  I am in Salina, Kansas a town in the middle of the
state 90 miles north of Wichita and 180 miles west of Kansas City.

I don't know if any of the local transmission shops will want to tackle this
project, but armed with the information I got here I will at least have some
idea what to tell them.  Since I am not able to work on my cars, both because
of a major stroke 4 years ago and a lifelong tendency to screw stuff up when I
try to fix anything, I have to rely on others.  I probably should not be
driving a 40 year old roadster, but my wife and I love it and it takes us back
to our youth a bit.  I bought a different 2000 brand new in 1970 in Okinawa
while I was in the US Air Force.  I shipped it to the states a year later when
I got out of the service.  When I got married  in 1973, that was the only car
we owned for 5 or 6 years.  We took several long trips with the car, including
our honeymoon to Cape Cod and Niagra Falls.  On that trip we had two bicycles
on a rack on the rear bumper asd we were avid cyclists.  That car was totalled
in 1983 by a hit and run driver while parked in front of our house.  I always
wanted another, and when I was forced to retire due to my stroke, I started to
search for one in earnest.  A couple of years ago this one showed up on Ebay
not far from where we live, and I bought it.

Sorry for the long story (longer for me since I have limited use of my right
hand :-)  ),  but I felt I needed to explain why I am unable to work on the
car at all.

Thanks for the help and suggestions,

Okay, I found another message from a while ago that I sent to some other
list, perhaps it might be helpful to some here.  I really should write up
a nice little FAQ for Team.Net.

mjb.

I should probably write up something about this like I did for setting
the nomail option when heading off on vacation.  RealSoonNow.

In general, assuming the message is sent to the proper address from a
subscribed address it will go through to the list.  Exceptions are when
it is too large, usually because people can not figure out how to highlight
and delete stuff that doesn't need to be sent out once again.  Or it may
show up as an empty message, or contain a line something like

/xiu0iqwy:  permission denied


In these cases it is the filter that all messages to Team.Net pass through.
The filter tries its best to convert all sorts of random stuff from who
knows what sort of brain dead software into plain, readable text.  For
the most part it works pretty well, stripping out useless. bloated RTF
crap from Microsoft, malformed HTML from AOL and various sources
and other such nonsense.   Ever notice those posts where there are odd
characters like 'B' in places you wouldn't expect it?  Standards are
great, there are so many to choose from ;-)

If you keep getting such behavior when posting, dig through the
documentation for your mail program and try to send in plain text.
[ This stuff isn't an issue with http://www.team.net/forums ]

If plain text isn't a readily apparent option, sometimes simply changing
fonts can remove the introductory setup crap that the filter can't
understand and will let it send your message through.

Gary;
     if the late cars are like the early ones, you will need to reach behind
the dash (tiny hands and extra joints help here) and unscrew the two small
wing nuts over the strap that bridges the back of the gauge.  Disconnect the
sender lead and dash light lead and the gauge will come out to the front.  It
is a challenge to reassemble!

Thanks Joe, that's a good idea.  I think I'm going to pass on the original
Datsun belts on e-bay.  I'm not trying to keep this car stock.  I think I
might try to find some retractable belts for a Dub, or some other after market
solution.

Hi Keith
- I looked around in the stash and didn't have any shoulder straps.  I
confused those with a 5 point racing harness (for a roadster).  All I have is
a set of belts.
Sorry
 
I did however come across these on eBay...

They are for a VW but should fit a
roadster nicely. I use a pair of VW retractable seat belts in one of my
roadster, they work great (and being retractable, are more easier to use)

That is what I did, twice, but they didn't show up on the mailing list.  That
seemed to be the most intuitive, but for some reason they were ignored.

This reply is primarily a test.

You've apparently resolved the issue.

Some mail lists refuse mail from e-mail addresses NOT on the subscription 
list, but that address may be an "also known as" type of address by your 
service provider.

This is the case with some Yahoo, sbcglobal, att, and other mail servers. 
Or, as in my service provider's case, it used to be worldaccessnet.com, whch 
has been shortened to wa-net.com but BOTH can still be used.

Since I originally registered to the mail-list under the long name, I needed 
to update the list with the shorter name in order to be able to post, or 
have my mail program send my address as the long name.  I didn't stop 
receiving the list, I just couldn't post until I had done that step.

FWIW

I use plain ASCII text, but still some replies will not post. Not consistent
behavior, though usually on the longer replies. Sometimes just copying them
into a new email rather than replying will work, so how can it be the length
when it's the same length?

Dunno. Doesn't happen on any other mail lists I'm on.

That is what I did, twice, but they didn't show up on the mailing list.
That seemed to be the most intuitive, but for some reason they were ignored.

This reply is primarily a test.

Thanks

Does any one have pictures of already removed front inner fenders? Or pictures that show what should be cut away from the body? I have read descriptions there of, but cannot get a picture in my head. 

We are going to do some cutting on one of my part cars tomorrow. Despite being totally rusty and non-salvageable, I think these may indeed still be ok to save.

Message-ID: <595926.95069.qm@web50005.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi all,

It's been a while, but I'm ready to put the head back on my '68 2000
after the nasty "Evil-L" episode of a couple years ago.  I bent roug valves on
that one! The head is redone and the valve train was re-installed at the
machine shop.  When I pulled the head, I took the intak, exhaust manifolds and
head off together. Questions raised are:

1. Is it easier to just put the head
back on and then the intake and exhaust manifolds separately, or try to put
them together off the car first (as I did when removing them) to put the head
back on?

2. Should I just pull the whole engine, assemble everyting and then
put it back in the car?

I have the manual, so my plan is to set the timing
manually/  My only concern is getting the timing 180-degrees off so I don't
end-up back when re I started.  Any idea bout whether the manual has a
sure-fire way of making sure that doens't happen.  (Sorry, I'm really tired or
I'd look it up myself!)

Thanks,
Perry Smith

I drove over to Tim's house today and cut out the trunk floor from a Junker
which I'm going to install in my white 68 L18. I have a very nice gas tank
that I'll be pulling in as well. My question is, there are two round headed
electrical connecter posts on the tank sending unit. Can I assume that one
is the positive power post and the other a ground post? If that is correct,
does anyone know which of the two posts is (+) and which (-)?

Steve,

The tank unit is just a variable resistor, through which current flows to 
ground.  The deflection of the gauge depends on the magnitude of the 
current.  It should make no difference which way current flows through the 
tank unit.  If it were important, I think Nissan would have marked the 
terminals.

It does make a difference. Backwards and you'll be shorting directly to
ground causing gauge to always read full.

Perry,

I presume you did not pull the engine to pull the head.  You do not say 
whether you replaced the chains and sprockets.  If you did, I presume you 
have lined up the timing marks on the sprockets as shown in the manual.

1.  Put the head on with or without the manifolds, as you prefer.  I have 
always pulled the manifolds before removing the head when doing head work 
with the engine in the car, but do whichever works well for you.  It will be 
easier to get at the inner studs/nuts on Number 4 exhaust port with the head 
off the car.

2.  No need to pull the engine.

3.  Follow the alignment diagram on Page 23 of the shop manual, and you 
won't go wrong.  (Again, you didn't say whether you replaced the chains and 
sprockets.  If you did not, then I presume you preserved the position of the 
camshaft sprocket with the upper chain.  If you lose that relationship, I 
know no way to correct things short of removing the oil pan, water pump and 
timing cover to make sure all alignment marks are in the correct position.)

Sorry I could not be more help with Point 3.  Provide more detail on what 
has been done to the engine, and how the timing component relationships have 
bee maintained or re-established, and perhaps I can say something further.

Gary

We're OK.  I had surgery on my left shoulder about a month ago; returned to
work last Monday.

Send some photos of the car, if you can, and I'll ask around.  Are you on the
"Autox.Team.net" discussion list?  311s.org?  Good places to advertise for
free.  Can't post photos to autox.team.net, but you can post links, or ask
interested parties to contact you off-list.  Also, Dean Apostle will allow you
to list your car on his datsunparts site for free/no commission.  Visit the
site for his requirements.

If you're not a member of the list, I will be happy to list the car on your

Pete,

Well, that is certainly embarrassing.  I was going from memory, and checked 
only the wiring diagram.  I didn't realize on terminal is grounded to the 
body through the mounting flange.  The separate ground wire must be there in 
case the mounting flange-body connection becomes corroded.

In theory it should not make a difference, but, with the configuration of 
the Nissan sending unit, it certainly does.  Sorry, Steve.

Message-ID: <SNT106-W171C6F41B864C93965A9CADF2E0@phx.gbl>

Situation

All worked FINE before I took it all apart - only apparent change was
extending the pertonics wires with butt connectors.

Alternator and regulator disconnected

Pertronics ignition, coil + Ballast

Negative Post grounded to chassis
Ground from Chassis to Engine (also grounded alternator to frame) and ground
from bolt holding in starter motor to frame.
Additional 'pigtail' from the negative post grounded to the bolt that holds
the regulator to the body.

All above grounds checked, clean, bright

Starter turns, car fires up when key is turned to 'start' but stops when
released to 'run'

Disconnect the 'pigtail' and I have NOTHING - no lights, NADA.

Connect up the positive battery to the positive coil and the car starts,runs
but doesn't stop until the connection is removed.

Checked all the connectors under the drivers side up against the firewall -
opened them up - all bright shiny - cleaned them and rehooked - no change

Clues

When pigtail is connected, with a light connected to the positive coil, no
light, unground the pigtail, juice to the coil, but no start but light comes
on.

Using trouble light on the positive - i have grounds all over the engine,
block, head chassis, body.

HELP

Good battery - no idea - need to get this running SOON  many miles to go
before i sleep

Peter,

If you haven't already I'd strongly suggest getting the '70 wiring
diagram in the Wiki section of 311s.org and getting it printed and
laminated as large as you can. Jim did an outstanding job of
reproducing this thing in color. The larger you can get it printed,
the better, IMO. I think Staples charged me less that $5 for 11 x 17,
around $20 for 24 x 36.

Trace every wire. Even if the colors aren't the same you should be
able to trace point to point. Unless you've pulled wires out of the
molded plastic connectors you should be okay there. Even as simple as
the electrical systems are on these cars a good diagram is is a
tremendous help.

HTH,
Ron

Peter,

I believe you have ground problem. I believe the body is not grounded 
when the wire to the regulator mounting bolt is disconnected, hence, all 
the body-mounted items (lights, etc) do not work when the wire is 
disconnected.

The ignition problem probably has something to do with sneak paths that 
the ungrounded body provides.

 Run a #12 or preferably a braid from the body to the chassis and you 
should be set to go

Peace,
Pat.

 Do the headlight buckets and tail light housings have to be directly grounded
to the body? How about the alternator via the mounting bolt as a grounding
point also? I know there needs to be wire grounds but wonder about other types
of ground points.

TIA,

The headlights and tail lights have ground wires that run back to 
grounding points, originally on the frame. Over the years those 
connections may have migrated to the body. There are some devices that 
use the body for ground, specifically, the door switches and map light. 
There are probably more, but I can't remember.

The connection for the front grounds is on the left frame rail, near the 
front carb. I believe there is also one behind the rear bumper, near the 
license plate light.

The alternator mound is not a reliable ground because the alternator 
housing is aluminum and the mount is steel. Galvanic action can build up 
corrosion in the joint causing less than perfect grounding.

It's been too long since I've been into my car to be sure of these, 
guess I need to get back into the shop and finish the engine rebuild!

Peace,
Pat

Hi Dan:

If you have any concern about the harmonic balancer, I suggest contacting
http://www.dalemfg.com
to have yours rebuilt.  There is a difference I have found with a rebuild. The
harmonic balancer is two metal pieces sandwiched together with rubber in the
center to absorb engine vibration. The rubber gets harder with age and heat.
It is less expensive to have one rebuilt and will be better than a new one off
the shelf.

It almost sounds  as if your engine is sitting to low in front for some
reason. Your problem may not be the harmonic balancer or at least not only the
harmonic balancer.

Fred

Dan, I can think of a few reasons that could make it hit the cross 
frame, first you will want to make sure that the outer ring on the front 
balance/pulley is not separated from it's hub.Also make sure that you 
have the lower profile 5 speed crossmember, the taller 4 speed 
crossmember will make the pulley closer than it should be. Then make 
sure your engine mounts are solid and not mushy. Last thing is a long 
shot but it can happen and it will effect the engine placement, if the 
left side engine mount had been replace with an early model style, some 
people replace the cast iron bracket  with an early model bracket when 
they switch to an early style altenator on the right side of the engine. 
I hope these ideas may help...Bill

Linda,

When new, each of the lamp assemblies had individual ground wires , which 
ran to the body at some point.  None relied on contact between the lamp 
assembly and the body.  For example, there should be three wires to each 
headlamp -- one for low beam, one for high beam, and a ground.

The alternators have a dedicated ground connection on the housing.  (I am 
the second owner of my '66 1600, and it was basically unmolested when I 
bought it in 1971.)  There is (I think) a #10 wire from the alternator 
housing to the frame.  There is a similar wire from the regulator mounting 
bracket to the frame.  There is a ground strap from the frame to the engine 
block (added, not original).  There is also a ground wire (real heavy) from 
the starter bolt on the trans to the frame nearby.  (That ground was missing 
from my '67-1/2 when I bought it a couple of years ago.  Replacing it didn't 
make any difference in starter performance, but you can't have too many 
grounds.

Gary

Did you remove and replace either the steering or idler arms?
They need to be pointing dead ahead and parallel when the steering box/wheel
is in the dead ahead position.
Anything else and you won't have enough adjustment on the centre rod to
correct the issue.

Peter,

One of the other List members (Graeme?) asked if you had removed the 
steering (Pittman) arm or idler arm.  Did you?  If so, did you re-fit it 
(them) properly?  I can't speak to the idler shaft, but the steering shaft 
is splined.  It is only possible to put the steering arm back on properly in 
one of four positions, 90 degrees apart, because four of the splines are 
wider than the others, and the arm will not fit over the shaft correctly 
unless one of the wider grooves in the arm aligns with one of the wider 
splines.  You can, however, get the nut onto the threads, so it might appear 
that it is correctly assembled.

Are you sure you did not have the 25-degree condition before you dismantled 
the suspension?  Last summer, I replaced the steering box in my '67-1/2 
(with as used one which has virtually no play).  When I got things back 
together, I noticed a clear toe-out condition, whereas the standard is 
toe-in.  Crawled under the car and measured the difference between the rear 
edges of the tires and the front edges of the tires.  Did the same on may 
'66, which was clearly set for the correct toe-in.  I completely dismantled 
steering again, trying to figure out what I had done wrong.  I was at my 
wits' end.  Then, conferring with one of our suppliers, and a member of a 
local race team led me to conclude that the toe-out had been there all 
along, and was, indeed, OK.  (The clincher was when the racing guy said 
"I'll bet the car turns in to corners real quick.")  It does.  So I left it 
alone.

Hope that helps.  If not, at least the price wasn't so dear.

Gary

Interesting. Wonder why the 100 lb diff at the LF? Is your battery in
the stock location? Did you get corner weights w/o you in the car? YOU
might be the difference I guess!

Steven,

That total numbers with you in the car is pretty good. My car was in the 2100
area with Jeff in the car at about the same or less weight then you.  Not much
you can do about the corner weights if unless you go to an adjustable
suspension, unless you are carrying ballast :( . My battery, although, very
small is located on the passenger seat area. The Accusump is mounted behind me
on the package shelf, and I have a large

fuel cell that was used for an enduro.

hi again

to answer some questions:

my seat is an UltraShield unit bolted directly to the floor, as far back as possible.  the full sized battery is in the trunk on the right side.  i have an AutoPower rollbar.  no ballast, save for my rear end!

i did not weigh the car without me in it (the rules weigh the car with driver).  the front sway bar was connected.  there is no rear bar.

i hope that helps.

Well. you got some issues there!! 
 
Why the lr is so much less than the rr? Normally the drivers side will be higher than the pass with driver in place.  but the LF 100 lbs higher, and LR 25 # LIGHTER?  #1 mistake made here is did the weights get taken with the sway bar attatched? a preload on the bars will give you wonky weights every time.
 
you want to try and get the diagonals % as close to even Left-Right as possible
 front to rear bias on a side is nowhere near as important as the diagonals, Ideally you would have 25% on each wheel, but that almost never happens. 
 
Unless you've deliberatly set up for a predominantly left hand turn track?  I cant explain the LF being so high, the LR being lower can be partially explained by rear mounted Batt. However driver weight on the roadster is primarily behind the balance point (look at where your butt sits) so you should see a little less gain on the front as the drivers rear when you get in the car.
 
The difference in diagonal weight % will make the car turn in different from left to right

Sit further back, like on the package shelf, and use those blocks of wood 
like the kid in Temple of Doom.... that should help just a tad...... the 
blocks of wood would only be a pound or two.

Subject: [Roadsters] 10 Year anniversary of Roadster-dom (in my case
	Roadster-dumb?)
Message-ID: <CE1C9C26CC18FD4E804F232CEC1F845103B47DDF@XMBTX132.northgrum.com>

So today is my 10 year anniversary of roadster ownership.
Yep, you should have seen the face of the Z-car restorer (it was his
shop "truck") when he went to fill out the paperwork and had to put
"Fergus O'Farrell bought a car from me on St Paddy's Day".

Haired out interior to start with, (some would stay "still is" !) but
mechanically much better than I knew how to check out.  Only been off
the road for 2 lengthy spells: the first (9 months) for an alternator
conversion that turned into a engine compartment wiring harness
replacement as well, and this one I am in at the moment, (3 months, with
Xmas in the middle) which is the front suspension rebuild.

Thanks much to all contributors, whose patience I have tested, and
long-distance diagnostic skills I have relied heavily upon for quite
some time.  Too numerous to mention, and lists are only good for
excluding those that my mind has forgotten.
But put it this way, if you have ever read list-advice on anything
electrical, take my word for it that that person fielded probing
questions and lists of seemingly interlinked symptoms on my car, most to
the point of exhaustion.  (the usual suspects:  Pat Horne, John
Sandhoff, ad infinitum electron escapere, or however you'd say that in
Latin)

Of special note is Alvin for keeping up the motivation with great
pictures, and more recently Michael Spreadbury / Spriso with motivating
all of us to "clean up the clutter" with his amazing work.  And a
special thanks to Victor Laury, for his assistance not only under the
hood but at a certain point along the road when better judgement in
terrain mapping vs speed control was temporarily in short supply.

I stay within my roadster "budget" (self imposed) by stocking up on
parts I'll need and storing them away.  My recent downtime to rebuild
the front suspension included boxed parts that were over 4-1/2 years
old.  (a set of stainless brake flex lines and end fittings, with parts
list provided by Mark Sedlack)
On my most recent backroads rally, a thought came to mind, "I wonder how
good she'd handle if all the parts that are in the toolbox were actually
on the car?"

thanks to all.  The ride is wonderful but the folks met along the way
are the best.

Still on the PO -installed clutch, so the stories and queries will
continue.
And, of course, the delusions of grandeur concerning project time,
including
-1/2 roadster trailers, foam lined, filled with beer,
-what kinda mpg would you get from an SD-22 motored roadster, and why
not supercharge it?
-that hard tonneau cover that I have made so many sketches

C'ya on the road,

If you took the weights on a typical set of scales in Tech, I wouldn't put
too much stock in them. Total weight, sure, but to get accurate corner
weights, the scales really need to be on a *very* flat surface like a
reference plate. Fractions of an inch difference in height can make a big
difference in the measured weights.

out of the car?

I'll be gettng the EI Dizzy from East Coast Roadsters
(doesn't require the engine out). I'm going to address the "death rattle"
(upper timing chain tensioner).  The motor mounts look to be in decent
condition, but I may change those anyway. I've already put in an Aluminum 3

I don't have a ton of money and I'm

I don't have a dizzy setup on my two roadster's and the new 68 with the L18

You could get the flywheel lightened for less than $100 I think. Not a bad
time to put a gear reduction starter in, if you don't already have one.
Also, it's much easier to do any engine bay cleanup with the motor out.

I'd pull the pan and check the bearings. Wouldn't hurt to check the oil 
pump too. If your rear seal is leaking, replace it. Front seals are 
cheap insurance.

Freshen up the engine compartment if you have time.

Peace,
Pat

Having done something similar



Coming from a 70 redo so somethings may be different.


Definitely freshen up engine compartment, things like the water bottle,
radiator mount bars, air dam, rear tranny mount bracket, drive shaft and
 u joint, diff, horns, grill backing plate,. Use aluminum foil to mask
areas -



Generally clean and degrease front suspension, check zerks, clean and
grease



Check compression plate, might as well replace the clutch, check
throwout bearing, definitely what ever seals you can get to.

Get urethane bushings for the front sway bar. Replace ANY hoses that
cannot be easily accessible when engine is in. on the 70 there are two
little 2-3 inch hoses that require removing the intake manifold to
replace.

Replace the throttle cable, install a 2nd hood release, make sure all
grounds are SOLID, install upgraded alt if appropriate

rebuild water pump ??

shrink tube exposed unsightly joins

check on the 5th gear - have it welded??

For me I figure that while I am there, get it done, get it solid and hopefully
never have to do it again.

Cheers

Peter

Keith,

I think I will agitate the List by responding to your note having read the 
several responses you received so far.  I have a '66 1600 which I bought 
from the original owner in July, 1971.  I put a 1969 U20 motor into it in 
1972.  The motor is basically stock.

1.  Lightening the flywheel will improve acceleration slightly.  Do you need 
that for the way you drive?

2.  I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone driving a stock, 
street U20 would spend the money to put a gear reduction starter into the 
car.  I have a stock U20 starter in mine, and it has started my car reliably 
in temperatures ranging from -15F (overnight soak) to 100F for many years. 
A racer in Ohio said the gear reduction starter is needed to crank their 
high-compression race-prepared 1600.  OK, I'll buy that, but for a stock 
motor....???  (Oh, yeah.  I now also have a '67-1/2 2000, into which the PO 
put a new gear reduction starter.  I have pulled that out and replaced it 
with a stock unit, because a stock starter spins the motor faster, and I 
don't need the increased torque produced by a gear reduction unit..)

3.  Pulling the pan and checking the rear main is a good idea, as is 
freshening the engine compartment in areas you cannot access with the 
engine/trans in the car.  Things like alternator replacement can easily be 
done with the engine in the car, if you later decide to do so.

4.  Replace the clutch and throw-out bearing.  A lot of work if you have to 
do it for no other reason.  Also replace hoses which cannot be easily 
accessed with the engine/trans in the car.  (On the low-windshield cars, 
there is a two-inch hose between the heater control valve and the heater 
core which is %%$#@$ impossible to replace with the engine in the car.)

Others have expressed their opinions.  There's mine.

I thought I'd mention to the list members that I have a 56k original mile
recirculating ball steering box on ebay, nicest used box I've ever come
across. just a major rebuild kit for one of these is around $1400 now...this
one is plug and play so to speak. also listed some other stuff and I'm trying
to run auctions if not every week, every other week. some of it may be pretty
hard to come by, last week I sold a pair of NOS doorposts and a day/night
mirror for the tall windshield roadsters. probably should have posted to the
list about those, I know folks are looking for pieces like that but most folks
aren't actively perusing ebay all the time and may well end up missing the
rare pieces like that. I've also listed what is probably the last nice top
assembly with latches that I will be able to come up with for 68 to 70's.B 
I'm 672000 if you don't already know. hope you need something and I have it to
sell you :-)B  I try to run all my auctions to end sunday evenings.

On Behalf Of Gary and Cindy Ault

A racer in Ohio said the gear reduction starter is needed to crank their 
high-compression race-prepared 1600.  OK, I'll buy that, but for a stock 
motor....??? 
*********************

  At Sloan Racing, we have gear reduction starters on both 1600 race
roadsters, but these are 12+:1 compression motors designed and built to run
from 4000 to 8000 rpms.  They don't like to start when cold and they really
don't like to idle.  Those of us on the crew that drive roadsters, have
always used stock U20 starters.  The 1600 stock starter leaves a bit to be
desired, being an older design and a bit too long to get in and out.  The
only reason to use a G/R starter with a stock motor is bragging rights?

Back in the late 60s my first BSR U20 rebuild used the dome top R16 pistons 
(fly cut for valve clearance) and a milled head(can't remember how much) for 
around a 12.5 CR.
Couple that with considerable spark advance and it was too much for the 
stock starter.  My cheap fix was to install a toggle switch for the ignition 
and a separate starter button.
The starter did a good job of cranking against the compression alone, so I 
would hit the starter button, get the engine turning and then hit the 
ignition switch, usually caught on the first attempt. Guess I was luck that 
it was always an easy starting engine.

P.S The next rebuild the compression was dialed back to 11.7, where it still 
is today.

If you have to replace the starter, why not use the G/R starter for easier in/out? Priced almost the same, right?

You might check with Ted Schumaker at http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com
Like me he's a British car guy but has experience and parts for SUs.

Gee, I'm trying to remember why I added myself to this list.  Oh well, it
doesn't matter, there have been some interesting topics.  Maybe I'll stick
around for a while.

I've been to some of the Vintage Triumph Register conventions which Ted also

was curious what folks think should/can be done aboutB non-paying bidders on
parts on ebay. I seem to be unable to contact a certain Michael McCasker from
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia who has a 67.5 1600...he won the bid on one of
my parts but never paid and has not responded to my e-mails...I just tried
again at the e-mail address I received when he won the auction and it bounced
back...anyone know him or his new e-mail address? maybe he doesn't work for
CHEP anymore. this is the second time I've had a non-pay from Australia, never
had one anywhere else. what's up with that? he'd told me he was going to get
together a list of other parts he needed for his roadster and my 30 days timed
out while I waited on that so I can't even file a non-paying bidder complaint
with ebay...absolutely NOT a recommended bidder

Anyone with a 1500 3 seater know of a source for those rubber straps that hold
the top frame to the back of the car when the frame is folded down. Have the
metal hardware, but the rubber is old and cracked (and snapped off on one
side). If I can't find NOS or remakes, has anyone made their own with some
elastic straps?

I also have a 64 110 hp Corvair coupe, well, it is my wife's, but I have to
fix it.
 
It runs great, for about 5 miles, then starts bucking and kicking, and dies. I
put on rebuilt carbs, did a full tune up, points, plugs, wires, condenser, air
filter, etc., etc. 
 
No friggin difference. I just had to get towed home. Cost me $100, and I am
stymied.
 
Waited 2 hours, starts right up.
 
Any chance it is the coil? Any ideas? I think I replaced everything else,
except rhe distributor itself, but....

Jim:
As we say on the Datsun 510 list, "If you think its electrical, its fuel,
and if you think its fuel, its electrical"
I believe you have a fuel problem, strangely similar to one I have had. The
running symptoms suggest that it is running lean before it quits. My '62
Greenbrier did the same thing. It always ran fine at low speed as when
running around in town, and it would be fine for a few minutes at highway
speed, then it would lose power, misfire and quit. However, Let it sit a
while and it would be OK as before..
You could have a bad fuel pump diaphram, as they don't hold up well to
todays fuel. If you haven't changed it, get one from Cal Clark.
There is a short piece of rubber hose connecting the body hard line to the
engine. If that hose has grown old and cracked, or if the clamps are loose,
it could be drawing in air. If you pull air into the line you will have foam
in the carbs. At low speed it doesn't matter, but at sustained high speed
you will run lean, lose power and backfire, then stall.
My problem, after doing the previous steps, turned out to be the original
hose which connects the body hard line to the fuel pickup in the tank. It
was leaking air into the fuel line, causing the symptoms noted above.
Oh, I also swapped coils, points etc. and it made no difference.
Good luck

Thanks to all who recommended solutions
 
It seems it is the fuel pump, the fuel hose, the fuel pickup strainer, the
coil or the distributor wire is the problem, I'll proceed with various
checks.

Subject: [Roadsters] To vent or not to vent
Message-ID: <000001cac8de$6f86f190$4e94d4b0$@net>

Group,

 

I installed an original gas tank on my 68 L18 project car. The tank doesn't
have a return line on it, just the feeder line and an overflow tube from the
filler neck back to the tank. I installed a locking gas cap, added 2 gallons
of fuel and started the engine. It ran for a few minutes and then died and
will not start again. I'm wondering if the keyed gas cap is the problem in
that it may not be vented and causing a fuel flow problem. If the weather
warms up again and I can get the car outside I'll try starting it without
the cap installed. I did find another keyed cap that states that it's a
vented cap. If the problem is indeed caused by lack of venting I'll switch
out the caps. Does this sound like I'm on the right track?

A non-vented system would eventually cause the car to die from fuel 
starvation... ie, the fuel pump wouldn't be able to overcome the back 
pressure that would build up in the tank.

That being said, I seriously doubt that would happen in 5 minutes. 

The way to check though is what you described.  try running the car 
without a cap on it and see what happens.


Is it possible the tank you installed had crud in it?  If so, then 
what's more likely is that the crud came loose, and plugged up your fuel 
filters in that first 5 minutes..

Hope that helps!

I stopped at the local O'Reilly's parts store today with my 70 1600. The
Puerto Rico born clerk who's help me in the past got all excited to see a
real roadster here in Wisconsin. He told me that roadster and 510 drag
racing is huge in Puerto Rico which explains why my new 68 L18 is setup the
way it is.

I recabled my accelerator cable with a wire cable I picked up at the motorcycle shop.  I think it was about $5.00, considerably cheaper than replacing the entire cable.  It had the bead on the near end.  I pulled the old cable, inserted the new, and had it running again in less than 10 minutes.  Good luck, Dewey

I did it with cable bought at a bicycle shop. Fairly easy to do, and

Bucephalus is sold.  I'm sad to see him go.  I've spent so much time
building the car.  It is an investment of my heart and soul as much as my
money.  It would have been nice to see the rest of my plans for the car
completed.  I will be finishing the new motor and installing the new
supercharger on it before delivering it to the new owner in Houston.  My
dad, brother, and I have owned Roadsters continuously since 1991.  This is
the last one.  I'll probably still hang around the Roadster list and
bulletin boards.  Maybe one day I'll buy another.

Is (was) there some sort of "padding" between the outer and inner front fenders where the fender bolts on, right in front of the A-pillar?

It appears that there once was something there. Was it that hair pad stuff?

If there is supposed to be something there, what is a good replacement? Neoprene?

thought I'd offer a deal out...



the car: 38k original miles on the chassis

one very small crack in the dash, my recollection is less than an inch long

body on the car has been damaged in the rear and if you wanted to rebuild the
car with the original body you'd need to replace one or both rear quarters and
the back panel. frame is fine

has it's headrests, seats good but have been reupholstered with cloth inserts

has the original license trim

comes with NOS rear bumper

comes with NOS rear taillights

good visors

good top assembly

good grille

not matching number engine, just comes with a good used rebuildable U20 SU
engine and 5spd

I have a very nice body in LA area that comes with it, it's a roller

if you want to redo the original body instead, can negotiate a bit on price. I
have a nice set of front fenders I'd include if you wanted to go that route,
otherwise I'll keep the front fenders if you go with the body on the west
coast

car is in Virginia

not too many single digit serial number 67.5 2000's around.... ;-)



price $10k



have available at additional cost 2 different 67.5 engines. one is fresh
rebuild, very pretty SU engine currently on an engine stand down in the garage

other is a Solex engine, probably around 35k miles on a rebuild, comp pan, no
carbs at the moment but I can sell with a correct early set fresh refurbished
when Dan gets them done.B B  would give a credit for the used non-67.5 engine
if you wanted to move up to one of these. a title could be applied for if one
wanted to build a clone out of the second mentioned engine, I do know the
number of the car it came out of and have all rights of ownership to that
number car but body/chassis no longer exist. was offered $3500 for this engine
if I provided a title to go with it, have not applied for one yet. plan was to
go thru Titles International, would have been $130 or so last year but I just
checked and now they get $275



please contact me offlist if interested

Subject: [Roadsters] Auto Welding DVD
Message-ID: <2faaebf81003231031v528f1c12t3a255cc552f2b642@mail.gmail.com>

Some time ago I received a Hot Rod DVD entitled "Complete Bodywork &
Sheetmetal Prep" as a freebie for a subscription This DVD is part of
the "Dream-Build-Drives" series (http://tinyurl.com/yfedom2). I couple
days ago I started watching it and am very impressed. This guy is
disassembling a '60s Chevelle convertible for restoration and the
techniques and methods he uses are applicable to any car and most
metalwork and welding projects.

The video quality is excellent and the "How to..." is very easy to
see, understand and is thoroughly presented, something the DIY auto
programs on Spike and Speed often rush. The DVD I have is 65003D, the
first in the series.

Highly recommended

"Is (was) there some sort of "padding" between the outer and inner front
fenders where the fender bolts on, right in front of the A-pillar?
It appears that there once was something there. Was it that hair pad stuff?
If there is supposed to be something there, what is a good replacement?
Neoprene?

________________________________________
Hi Tim, usually there is a moisture barrier installed at such locations.
IIRC there was a bitumen type seal on mine.
Nowadays I would recommend a paintable Automotive Seam Sealer.
Run a good size bead the full length of the panel join and bolt it up.
Use plenty of it so it oozes out from the joint thus ensuring the two panels
are adequately sealed.
You can clean up the excess with the recommended product or just leave it
there to skin over.
Then you can paint over it if you wish.
One word of advice.
Make sure the mating surfaces are RUST FREE and have been properly prepared
and painted prior to re-assembly.
This is to ensure that the mating surfaces don't corrode under the seam
sealer.
This is where a lot of car manufacturers create a rust time bomb!

 Market value - Spent quite a few $$ having my car restored - it's showroom,
so it's worth, what ...$10k?  What is a showroom Roadster worth on the market?
$15k?  I really have no idea.

Sentimental value - My Dad bought the car new, and I learned to drive on it.
It's for sale to my daughter for $1, when she gets a little older and has a
place to park it.


But .. it's just a car, let's not be silly.

So, for everyone except my daughter: first $1 million takes it.

Considering that my Dad bought my 70 1600 new and I am a true second owner (still trying to figure out why there are four years of registration papers missing from my childhood) , then I would say, for me, the money being spent in the restoration does not matter and is going to be well worth it.

 My Dad also sold me his for a dollar - our stories are the same.  My Dad
bought his car new in Los Angeles in 1969.

After the restoration, we laughingly refer to the car as the most expensive $1
car ever made.

Good morning:



Any Owner needing a real nice Owner's manual reprint can find versions for all
years - 66-70 - on my eBay "buy iy now" listings.  We've used the high-quality
scans from The Datsun Roadster Book to print individual manuals for your glove
box.



The differences from previous versions are these have color covers, white
pages, and look like the originals.



Canadian Owners will also be able to get theirs from Ross at Sports Imports in
a week or so depending on the speed of the postal system.



For those not interested, apologies.

I heard Les tell a prospective customer once that it would cost X amount of
money to have his car restored and that when it was done it would probablyB 
be worth about half of that amount...one roadster I know of that was
professionally restored ended up being sold for about a third of what the
owner had spent on the restoration. consider it a labor of love, not a
moneymaker- the greatest value is in the fun you will have driving it along
with your pride of ownership...a restored roadster is a work of art
andB you'll have a lot more fun with it than spendingB the same amountB of
money on a painting and hanging it on your wall

We traded in a '67 Impala 4-door for the '70 2000 we bought new in
Fort Worth. IIRC our payments were $63/month.

There's been a thread on the 510 list the past few days that started
because somebody was offering a perfect NOS late 510 rear bumper with
a firm price of $1K. Some people got very upset, but IMO he wasn't
forcing anyone to buy it. I wouldn't pay that, but I've got a couple
of nice ones already. The bumper's new '70 price was mentioned, so I
compared the price of our '70 510 ($2300) then adjusted to 2010 USD,
around $14K.

Point is, none of our toys are cheap to play with any more. In general
the Z-Car has the best parts availability but those parts aren't cheap
either.

FWIW,
Ron

When I saw "weaverville" roadster I immediately remembered!!!!!
We passed by this roadster on our way back from an Oregon trip. I  
stopped to take pictures, and I called it "The Weaverville Roadster"   
in August 2007, i even took an interior shot:

Consider this also:

A car's "worth" parted out is far higher than as one complete unit.  If 
you tried to buy a new car from the dealer piece by piece, your average 
car would cost about 5 times or more than what you pay for it as a 
complete drivable unit.

Considering the fact that MOST roadsters out there, (except the one's 
that have been restored), are in need of a serious overhaul to make them 
"new" or "close to new" most people spend a lot in parts, especially if 
they live in a climate that is conducive to rust.  Then add to the fact 
that there were only about 5,000 of both models made each year AND the 
parts haven't been made in over 40 years... well....certain parts are 
just more expensive.  Body panels for instance.  Other parts which are 
simple to make and/or were on other models Nissan made are considerably 
cheaper, if you know where to get them.  Most engine parts can be 
purchased from a forklift dealer, and are the exact same parts... 
especially for the r-16 and H20 motors.  Water pump, timing chain, 
valves, etc... all the same.  (Camshaft is different though!) 

Value also is determined by demand, which in turn is determined by the 
state of the economy.  I'll bet 3 years ago the same car was worth far 
more than it is today...

When I got insurance I wanted full coverage for my roadster in case some 
numbskull plows into it.  They figured it would be $16K to replace the 
car with one exactly like it.   I had done a full frame off restoration, 
and every single part on that car has been cleaned, repainted or 
sandblasted, repaired, or replaced.  It's basically a brand new car.   
Fortunately, the insurance company agreed, and I got that level of 
coverage.  The best part is, because of the age of the car, they figure 
I won't be driving it very often, so the insurance is about $250 a year.

Oh, sorry, it is 5 miles north of Hayfork, how could I be so 
geographically challenged. (actually a bit west of Redding, if that 
narrows it down) 

I've been driving by this car in Weaverville for over a 
year now. Located in a body shop lot. What the heck, doesn't hurt to 
ask.. 

$2800. More then a fair price. This car looks solid and 
complete. Looks like they did a re-spray on it, and it's a nice driver 
paint job. A day detailing the interior and the engine compartment and 
she'd look sharp. 

I talked to Matthew. He says the car runs and drives 
good and the brakes were recently "gone through." He just moved back 
from Kentucky to take over "dad's shop" and couldn't believe they had 
yet to sell the Datsun. He told me it's going on Craigslist tomorrow so 
if you're interested, you better get on it. 

It's a good looking ride and the price seems to be 
right. Just not my cup and the stable is full.

Let's see, I pulled one out of someone's backyard for free, spent a bunch of
money on body, paint, interior, top, motor, rims, tires and then traded it
off for a car that was appraised (for insurance purposes) at $16,500.00.
Guess that's what my car was worth.

I have a couple of roadsters that I restored "generally" by myself, all
mechanicals, body, paint, etc. I haven't had any professional work done on
either of them (except inspections and tires).

I do have loads of hours invested but a lot less dollars out of pocket. I can
honestly say I could get almost exactly what I have "out of pocket" dollars
into
the cars back from a sale less the hundreds of hours of labor that I, my kids
and my friends have put into them.

This does not including shop tools of course but there is a fundamental
relationship between cars and tools (cars = good excuse to buy tools = good
excuse to buy cars = more tools = more cars...)

The labor is not only fun, it's satisfying and therapeutic - especially if
you
drive a desk for 60 hours a week...

Driving the cars on a warm summer's day...priceless!

Peter,

Intrinsically, it's only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. 
You're like me -- my '66 1600/U20 is worth way more than I could realize 
from selling it.  Paid the original owner $725 for it in July, 1971.  Have 
no idea how many thousands of dollars have gone into it since.

Talk to Keith Williams.  His Dad rebuilt mine 68s radio for significantly less
than that (well under $100, but charges may have changed).  Then I got a
Redi-rad radio adapter from Brew city in Milwaukee.  It is a transmitter that
plugs into the antenna input and allows you to play an ipod or portable cd
player through your radio.  Pretty cheap and took my about 30 mins to install,
and I am not an expert at all.  I did a write up on www.311s.org in the
product reviews section.

As I get closer to moving to Las Vegas I think it is time to look for a new

If you are interested send me a note and we can get you started.  I will

Spent a couple days for a pre-Solvang dust-off, polish-up and shake-

The need for "rediscovery" for me was so intense that, after we got the new carbs on, I took my Roadster out in 40 degree weather with no front fenders or doors. A pictures can be seen on the Dairyland Datsuns facebook page.

Totally get the thrill - Eliza has been 'up on blocks' for about a year - and
now she is running - new engine, new suspension - tighter than a drum - flat
around corners - nippy but not outrageously so - man it's FUN to be behind the
wheel again - the thrill of double de-clutching - the sound of the engine
working - the sound of the exhaust - can't beat it - worth all the money and
frustration.

+1 in the highest order Victor!



I spent about 7 months gathering funds and time to rebuild the 1600 and
refresh the engine bay.  After sorting out random loose hose clamps and the
sorting with an engine R&R, I found myself in the same state of automotive
nirvana (auto-vana?) as you!  Much better manners and giddy-up with all four
cylinder's compression instead of just three..  Solvang dust-off and wipe down
commencing this weekend!

Message-ID: <20100328100001.ASJBD.3716893.root@mp17>

Last fall I was unable to get the idle down below 1500 or so on my 70 1600. Since I had replace the needle valves and floats and all the adjustment screws were completely backed off, the assumption was bad carbs. 

While replacing the carbs last week, we (well, Steve any way) were unable to get the carbs balanced at idle; (We were able to get the idle well below 1000). When we were about ready to give up, I started to fiddle with the choke bits. Well, upon pushing down on the rear choke cable connection, I got close to an inch of  down movement on the cable; and this despite the choke knob being pushed all the way it on the center console. Once we removed the choke cable it was all easy from there. 

So, moral of the story after all this frustration, don't over look the little things!

Has anyone used any of the reverse flow bleeder system like the ones
from Phoenix Systems that Stacy David talks about on his show?

They make several models including a fairly inexpensive unit for under
$100. I wouldn't mind spending that much or a bit more, if they work
well of course. It would make taking care of the brakes on our "fleet"
a lot easier.

Looks pretty! I'm lusting, it is identical to the one I had back in 1972. I
have a red one today, but I love the white.

Sounds like Datsun ownership in N.E. Ohio!  You see, we have this thing
called winter, with its snow and its salt, and its single digit temps that
keeps ou cars snugly stored for 4-5 months EVERY year.
Each Spring is a renewal and reconnection with the road and a new chance to
Enjoy the Ride!!!

Primarily because you're pushing air bubbles and fresh fluid up toward
the M/C. Air wants to go up anyhow. And, I think it would be easier
than using the speed bleeders for an old guy like me with bad knees.

Roanoke is just northeast of Fort Worth in case anyone cares. Very
nice car. Lots of time and money in it. Price would appear to be a

 http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/1638803820.html

someone asked about contacting this guy - I just responded to the craigslist
email, and he called me back.

the owner is mike bailey - 817 - 329-3453

the car was in a wreck some years ago; the frame has been straightened; all
the bodywork has been done; the engine has been rebuilt.

its been in the family for a few years; his dad bought it from the original
owner; then his brother had it; now he has it.

hope that helps.

the car is out near Alliance Airport and Texas Motor Speedway

if someone is seriously interested we could go look at it this weekend.  its
about 45 minutes away so please don't ask me to do that just because . . .

10 second check for this.

Use a set of booster cables and place the negative on the battery and the 
other end on the engine.  If it sparks or solves the problem you'll know 
immediately

Yikes when I first read this it seemed as though you were suggesting that he 
connect the + (Positive) end of the battery to the engine!

You would DEFINITELY get a bunch of sparks on a Negative ground car.

Scott,

Someone once said, "When it's true, it ain't braggin'."  The Owner's manuals 
arrived today, and they are absolutely beautiful.  The print quality, photo 
quality, color work, cover and paper quality -- all just great.  I have an 
original manual, in fair condition.  I can't say just what a genuine 
original looks like, but I suspect it would be difficult to tell yours from 
an original.  Much, much better than any other reprint I have ever seen. 
Excellent work.

What's the next project?

List,

If you want a first-quality manual in your glove box, as I do, you will not 
be disappointed.  (I have no interest in this, although Scott and I have 
known each other for probably 25 years.  I used to buy parts from him when 
he was in the Toledo, Ohio area and was the proprietor of Rising Sun Racing. 
I remember seeing his absolutely immaculate onxy black '68 (?) car, shortly 
after he refinished it for the first time, perfect in every way (to my eye), 
every nut and bolt re-plated.  He was planning to re-do the paint because it 
wasn't quite right.  I thought he was nuts.  Attention to detail has always 
been his style.)

  The description of this car could have easily been for my '69 1600 when I
bought it, except mine had the original interior still in it.  I bought mine
back in the spring of 1996.  It came with a car load of spare new & used
parts from other roadsters, including a windshield, rear brake cylinders,
soft top, a set of doors, and lots of little pieces.  I paid $2000; $1000
for the car and $1000 for all the parts.   I was the third owner behind the
two brothers that had it first.  Best money I've spent in a long time!

Steve,

If it anything like the SU tuning kit I had back in the early 70s when I 
was a shade tree mechanic. It has 2 wire rods, about 4" long with either 
right angles or triangles bent at one end, a wrench, a plastic rod for 
measuring float height via the banjo bolt holes, and possibly a tool for 
centering the jets. I don't recall what else. The rods are intended to 
be inserted into the dashpots on top of the carbs so that you can see 
how high the pistons move up without pulling the air filter. I seem to 
recall that mine was in a brushed leather roll up kit, but that was way 
too long ago! I never used it. The wrench fits the jet adjustment nut. I 
don't remember if it was for the jet centering nut, or for the needle 
adjustment, either way, I didn't use it. I also had a Uni-Syn for 
measuring the airflow into the carbs. I used it all the time. Needless 
to say, after a few years of carrying the tuning tool set around, and 
never using it, I got rid of it.

I found this kit 
http://www.minimania.com/web/item/00-3683/invDetail.cfm, but it is not 
what I had, I don't think.

Peace,
Pat

You know, the intersection where James Dean died doesn't exist anymore.
Highway 46 was realigned (and renamed, was 466) in 1957-1958, and the current
4-lane highway is west of the original, 2-lane, Highway 466.

Hi, Steve!
I have one, like Pat described.  I like it for balancing because you can
easily see where the pistons are riding in relation to each other.  But, I
also  use the Uni-syn  and Color-Tune to get the mix set correctly.
Would I buy it again?  Probably. Is it necessary? I don't think so.

Steve,

A picture or a link would help understand what you are talking about. 
But, if it is like the kit Pat and Patti described, then it also includes a
jig for centering the nozzle carrier with respect to the needles.  You
inistall the jig onto the bottom of the piston(s), and then loosen the nozzle
carrier to allow it to slide over the wide part of the jig.  Eliminates needle
interference with the nozzles.

It is intended for balancing multiple SU and,
I think, Stromberg carbs.  Mine has three rods so one can work on triple carb
set-ups like the old in-line six-cylinder Jags.  Never used it that way,
though.  Always use my Uni-Syn.

Gary

Scott,

Someone once said, "When it's true, it ain't braggin'."  The Owner's manuals
arrived today, and they are absolutely beautiful.  The print quality, photo
quality, color work, cover and paper quality -- all just great.  I have an
original manual, in fair condition.  I can't say just what a genuine original
looks like, but I suspect it would be difficult to tell yours from an
original.  Much, much better than any other reprint I have ever seen.
Excellent work.

What's the next project?

List,

If you want a first-quality manual in your glove box, as I do, you will not be
disappointed.  (I have no interest in this, although Scott and I have known
each other for probably 25 years.  I used to buy parts from him when he was in
the Toledo, Ohio area and was the proprietor of Rising Sun Racing. I remember
seeing his absolutely immaculate onxy black '68 (?) car, shortly after he
refinished it for the first time, perfect in every way (to my eye), every nut
and bolt re-plated.  He was planning to re-do the paint because it wasn't
quite right.  I thought he was nuts.  Attention to detail has always been his
style.)

Hi,
  I have had my 1968 Datsun 2000 solex for over 10 years.  A  lot of work 
was done before I bought the car and I have put a lot of money and  time into 
the car since owning it.  It's red with 2 white stripes over the  top 
(shelby look).  It has a fresh new over $5k paint job and all the  trimming was 
sent out to be rechromed.  There is no rust.  It has all  new timing gears 
and chains and tensioners. It has solex carbs and B cam, new  header, new 
shocks and springs and new front sway bar.  The interior and  carpet was redone 
in grey.  There are no cracks in the dash and all  the dials work.  I also 
have a new soft top which I do not keep on the  car. It has a nice stereo 
system as well.  I can provide pics if you  are interested and I have all of 
the receipts from myself and the previous  owner.  This is not a show car but 
is a fast runner and a great looker. 
 
I am asking $10k firm and for $12k I will include a spare set of solex  
carbs and manifold, original 2000 engine and 5spd transmission, many extra  
timing gears, hard top and any other spare parts I have.  The engine  probably 
needs a rebuild or at least the head.  The tranny worked great  when it was 
pulled. 
 
I would prefer to sell locally.  If interested please call or reply  with 
your questions.  I can provide a detailed list of all expenses and  parts 
that were replaced.  I have receipts for everything.  I can also  provide as 
many pics as you like.

done before I bought the car and I  have  put a lot of money and time into 
the car since owning it.   It's red with  2 white stripes over the top 
(shelby 
look).  It  has a fresh new over $5k  paint job and all the trimming was 
sent out  to be rechromed.  There is no  rust.  It has all new timing  
gears and 
chains and tensioners. It has  solex carbs and B cam, new  header, new 
shocks 
and springs and new front sway  bar.  The  interior and carpet was redone 
in 
grey.  There are no  cracks in  the dash and all the dials work.  I also 
have a new soft top   which I do not keep on the car. It has a nice stereo 
system as   well.  I can provide pics if you are interested and I have all 
of  the  
receipts from myself and the previous owner.  This is not a  show car but  
is a fast runner and a great looker. 

I am  asking $10k firm and for $12k I will include a spare set of solex   
carbs and manifold, original 2000 engine and 5spd transmission, many  extra 
 
timing gears, hard top and any other spare parts I have.   The engine  
probably 
needs a rebuild or at least the head.  The  tranny worked great  when it 
was 
pulled. 

I would prefer to  sell locally.  If interested please call or reply  with 
your  questions.  I can provide a detailed list of all expenses and  parts  
that were replaced.  I have receipts for everything.  I  can  also provide 
as 
many pics as you like. 

Regards,
David

On a sort of related note, I'll remind folks that there is a Datsun forum at
http://www.team.net/forums where one can post pictures of their cars,
themselves, their dog or whatever, so you can share images with other 
listers,
something not allowed on the more old school mailing list.
