POR15 is a moisture curing urethane.  I have used this stuff before with 
casting urethanes and epoxies:

http://www.alumilite.com/ProdDetail.cfm?Category=Support 
Products&Name=Bloxygen Moisture Barrier

Basically it is a heavier than air inert gas that blocks moisture from 
getting to the urethane.  You open the can, dispense what you need quickly, 
then spray this into the can and quickly seal it.  I've had 2-part resins 
last for years using it, but it won't last indefinitely.

OT, while at the site, browse around and look at some of their other 
products and watch some of the videos -  they have a resin for castin 
tailight lenses, and their videos are very educational

Enjoy the Ride,

Here in the Pacific NW, moisture is ALWAYS a consideration and with POR that's
critical.

I've had relatively good luck using two layers of Saran Wrap (the cheap dollar
store stuff) between the can and it's lid, and then putting the whole quart
can in a Zip-Loc baggie that I squeeze the air out of.  The POR in the can
sometimes does form a "skin" but usually, you crack the skin and are able to
reach inside and use the rest of the material.  This is on half empty cans.

Good advice. Paint store recommended snapping a pouring spout in the groove of
the can and pouring the paint in a disposal cup. The spout and cup are cheap
and can be found at any paint store, Home Depot, etc. It keeps the paint out
of the groove so, the lid seals better.

I haven't tried it yet but, it sounded like a good idea.

In my life I've used at least a gallon of POR-15, in quart sizes. Went with
both the wrap method and pour spourt method. Still had a layer on top that I
broke through. Either way, a shelf life is around 6 months once you open the
can. If this stuff will stick to my roadster the way it's been sticking to
my driveway for the last 6 years I have no worries.

The only foolproof method I know is to get the tiny cans and use it up when
opened.  I use the 2" Harbor Freight disposable brushes and nitrile gloves and
toss all of it when done.

I was having a problem with engine cutting out, backfires and such when I made
right turns.  This was with a newly rebuilt U-20, East Coast Roadsters dizzy,
new Z-Therapy SU's. I went for months trying to diagnose this. I was ready to
push the car off a cliff.  Finally, I discovered the fuel hose from the bowl
to 
the nozzle on the rear carb was kinked. I temporarily put a piece of
electrical 
tape aound the kink to stiffen the hose, and the problem was
solved. I called 
Z-Therapy, and they sent me a replacement hose.

Check for wire insulation damage....I was visited  by similar gremlins with
my 69.  It took me a long time to figure it out but a wire run to the rear
lights feel on the hot exhaust pipe and melted insulation and was shorting
some circuits together.  When I pulled the hazard switch (which is like the
hub of the electrical system) it blew a fuse. 

Your problem is behaving in a similar fashion.  

Also, check your fuse block for any corrosion - especially across circuits

Good luck!

Joe

Russ,

(Is "Russ" OK?)

I am having problems with the instruments in my '67-1/2.  They worked 
properly when I bought the car in 2008, but the Temp and Fuel gauges went 
south on a trip to western Illinois in late 2010.  Then, when I lit the car 
off for the first time in the spring of 2011, the Oil gauge is wonky.  My 
recommendation:    Make sure you have the latest full-color wiring diagram 
from 311s.org and then spend a lot of quality time with your digital 
voltmeter doing point-to-point wiring integrity checks (resistance and 
grounds) on your harness.  Sorry, that's what I am doing, and it's the best 
I can offer.

I can E-mail you the '67 wiring diagram if you wish -- I downloaded them 
all.

Gary

GROUND!  Pull every ground wire you can find and clean the connection.
Almost all electrical 'gremlins' with these old Datsuns are caused by
corroded ground connections.  Once you get everything cleaned up and
reconnected, you may find a bad bulb or a loose wire, but start with the
grounds.

BTDT, ,,, several times!

Yah, I agree with the other Paul about grounding. When you see odd combinations of lights, and the sub-set problem of dual-filament bulbs at half-brilliance, oftimes it's because a given circuit seeks a complete connection through something else -- not really ground. Current flows, and the misdirected bulbs light up.

I've seen just a little tarnish from years of salt air around our Chesapeake Bay region cause intermittents in the lighting circuits, both the kind you describe and outages.

Polish all the bulbs (shell and base), disconnect the battery and use some emery cloth inside the sockets, burnishing the contacts where the bulb solder blobs hit.  Also make sure you score clean the little notch where the bulb posts twist and are held captive, and maybe have a look at the wiring harness pigtails where the bullet connector and socket could be corroded.

GROUND!  Pull every ground wire you can find and clean the connection.
Almost all electrical 'gremlins' with these old Datsuns are caused by
corroded ground connections.  Once you get everything cleaned up and
reconnected, you may find a bad bulb or a loose wire, but start with the
grounds.

I like the Dremel with the various tiny ss brushes for this stuff. Works well

Actually yes on the residue -- thought of that after I replied. Take a can of air to your work after you've burnished stuff, especially those sockets. Blow out all the detritus you've shaken loose from whatever method.

Message-ID: <CAHNg2d=cKfGK36J_oOSO5xJzdRidUAUW-kM3zQO=0vh+nZGNdw@mail.gmail.com>

Registrations are still coming in for the Multi-State GRAND Datsun Classic
in Williams, AZ (The Gateway to the Grand Canyon) and the date is just
around the corner (1 month away). With 25 days left to register don't try
and wait until the last minute to register, you might forget and miss out.
We are going to have a great time, so far there are 30 Datsuns registered,
coming from CO, NV, CA, NM, AZ, and Mexico (Still waiting on Utah).
Registered are Roadsters, Z Cars, a couple of 510s, and "Other Datsuns", no
Trucks yet....  So if you are thinking about registering and securing your
spot or know of someone that should or needs encouraging  log onto
www.socalroc.net and you can register online or download the form to mail
in.  Don't forget to make a donation, that is what will help make this a
great event.

Bob Bondurant is joining us and will hand pick his favorite Datsun for the
Bondurant choice award.  We also have a Diamond in the Rough award, so
regardless of how your Datsun looks if runs it needs to be at this event.
Come on out and have your Datsuns picture taken for the Nostalgic Hero
magazine.

We are looking forward to a great time in Williams, we hope to see you on
October 8th at the Dairy Queen in Williams Arizona.

Registration Deadline is September 30, 2011

-- 
If you are lucky enough to stand next to a Datsun, then you are lucky
enough.

While running very roughly with the air filter off, the rear carb doesn't
intake much, if any, air.  Do I have electrical problems or carb problem?

Pull the back two spark plugs and look for fouling. If clean you've ruled out ignition.

Carb.

Check that the piston floats free, there's oil in the damper, and that the rear carb is synched with the front when the throttle pulls. 

Next would be needle jet adjustment at the bottom where the curvy little fuel line sits.

But first make sure both carbs call for gas at the same rate when the throttle cable starts to pull.

Girault,

I don't think ignition (electrical) will make much difference in the amount 
of air/fuel drawn into each cylinder on each stroke.  I think the carbs are 
out of balance.  The idle mixtures are probably off, as well.  And, ignition 
problems could be contributing to the rough idle.  You want the air flow to 
match with the engine idling at about 700 rpm.  You'll need an airflow meter 
of some sort -- like a UniSyn to do that.  Skilled mechanics can balance 
carbs by listening to the hissing noise, but I am not one of those.

You need to have the ignition right before you can properly adjust the 
carbs:  good plugs, proper plug gap, correct dwell and timing.  You can 
probably rough them in without the ignition being correct, but I always make 
sure the ignition is right before I start on the carbs.

Gary

I believe it is a reverse threaded bolt?
Should have a fitting on the rear carb for the vacuum line.

Domingo,

That seven-blade fan is there for a reason:  NAIS (smog system) equipped 
cars can run hot at idle and low speed, so the fan clutch engages and the 
high-capacity fan work to reduce the temperature.  Unless you live somewhere 
which requires smog equipment on older cars, I'd get rid of the system, plug 
the holes in the manifold and head, and recalibrate the distributor for 
non-smog operation.  Otherwise, I'd leave the seven-blade fan in place.

The connection for the vacuum advance on 1600 carbs is on the underside of 
the front carburetor, just before the carb-to-manifold flange.

Gary

It's almost time for the fall version of the VCC A/X at Camarillo Airport. 
All makes are welcome. Spectators welcome. Questions: Contact Tim Chew at 
service at topcatauto.com or shoot me an email and I can send a PDF of the 
flyer and waiver form. Aside from the racing, the catered tri-tip lunch 
alone was almost worth the price of admission last time!

Linda Jordan made this happen, and deserves our thanks.  One more part now

1, now, essentially. Early buyers were rewarded for their faith and patience,

That is the listing and it is for 1 ball joint, not a pair. I would try
Autozone to price match or Rareparts direct for reason stated.

Mike,
Original buyers paid less than what they go for now. We got 2 for the price
of 1, now, essentially. Early buyers were rewarded for their faith and
patience, and thanks to all of you who participated and bought.

Anyone else see the blurb in last months Hemmings Sports & Exotics (page
78) about the Datsun Roadster Ball Joints now available from Rare Parts? 
Linda Jordan made this happen, and deserves our thanks.  One more part now
commonly available, and featured in a great publication.  Cool!

Upper ball joints are exchange and rebuild. I did not have anything to do with
that, but I would trust them to be good.

Message-ID: <14eca16d.1b0fdc.13248f10763.Webtop.46@charter.net>

I want to get a new engine harness for my 70 1600 that we are stroking 
this winter. I can use a 69 1600 harness as I am going to be using 
teardrops side markers.

I see that Rallye has them but are very pricey. Dean does not. I have 
also checked out these guys: http://www.vinwire.com.au/vehiclelist.htm 
but the reply I got was that he has not done a 69 or 70 harness so 
cannot do one for me without seeing mine--who has used this company? I 
thoguht someone had? What is the one aftermarket company people HAVE 
used? I don't have the name in my notes but painless something or other 
sticks in my head....

So, where have people been getting new wiring harnesses? Is there a 
ready source? Or is Rallye my only option?

Thanks

Tim

Painless, EZ-Wiring, etc. offer universal wiring harnesses you adapt to your system/needs.

If you want stock, you'll need to pay significantly more.

hi.

I purchased a top in 2004. I'm sure I'm the only one who ends up taking this
long to get the car to a state where I can actually install it!

the top has been unopened, in the box, since july of 2004 (I just looked at
the shipping label). its been stored in various dry places of various
temperatures (this is Dallas).

any thoughts on procedure starting with opening the box for the first time?

thanks!

Oliver,

I presume the top fasteners have not been installed in the top.  If the top 
has been properly stored, I don't think any special measures are required. 
As long as that is the case, the installer should be able to compensate for 
any shrinkage which may have taken place with age when he/she installs the 
fasteners.  (My one concession to political correctness w.r.t. gender 
neutrality for the day.)

(I once bought an NOS tonneau for my '66, and, as it was a factory part, the 
fasteners were already installed.  When I finally got around to using it, 
the fasteners at the dash end are nearly impossible to attach.)

FWIW, having once installed a top on my '66, I would recommend having a 
professional do it .  Oh, I got it done, but it was a _____ of a job, and I 
never was completely happy with the way the side lights in the rear aligned.

hi oliver, lay the top on the car with the top frame up, and attached to
bow and see if it looks like it will reach the snaps and twisties, and
 if there is enough material to wrap over the bow. if it looks short, you can
always drill new holes in the top frame, pivot arms. measure
1 inch up and drill a hole in each arm. be sure the hole is
centered as you can see there is not much room to be
off center. use a scratch awl and a hammer to mark
the drill spots, and start with a small bit. i always install the
top loose, to allow for future shrinkage. (im assuming the car
is a tall windshield, and doesnt have an adjustable bracket
attached to the body.)
                                    best of luck, bob smith,ohio.

to everybody who was at the Glen ,
 have you checked your pictures at www.digidids.com  ?
 I have nothing to do with them , but they have some super pictures of the Tour de Marque and the festival for sale. It looks like they have a good shot of every car.

I have the _Service_ Manual for the H16[R] & H20 engines.
I uploaded it it my RapidShare site but they changed there system 
recently and all the links are broke.
I can compress and email you a copy if you wish.

my temp gauge is not reading.

I'm going to really go out on a limb here - doesn't it work by resistance?
that changes as the temperature changes?

so can't I use a multi meter, connected between power and the sending unit and
see if it changes as the car warms up?

The sender is a negative temperature coefficient device.
That means it is high resistance at low temperature and low resistance 
at high temperature.
So, if it is still functioning, remove the wire from the sender unit and 
you can use an _Ohm meter_ from the sender terminal to engine ground and 
see the resistance changes as per above.
If the sender reads open circuit or extremely high resistance even when 
the engine is warm, is is probably kaput.
Similarly, you can ground the wire that plugs into the sender and with 
the IGN switch ON the temp. gauge should max out.
Further fault finding will depend on what results you get :)

Ground the temp sender wire with ignition on, meter should peg out.  Check
connection and GROUND to temp sender, as I recall there are some that ground
through a staple in the gasket.

hi oliver, is this on a r16 eng. or a u-20 eng.? on a 2000 eng., ck. the block
that
the tenp. sender is screwed into, that it is grounded to the batt.  on a
r16(1600)
eng., ck. the voltage stabilizer near steering column. when the stabilizer is
at fault, usually the gas gauge doesnt work properly either. if you can
ground
the sensor wire, and the temp. gauge goes high, then the gauge, and stabilizer
are ok.
 yes you can ck. the sender with an ohm meter: attach one wire to
ground, and the other to the sender, and read the resist., cold and
hot. it should be different.  best of luck, bob smith, ohio

On the _STOCK_ 1970 SPL, the headlamps are fed from two separate fuses, 
HL and HR, 10A each.
Highly unlikely that they have both failed but check the integrity of 
them anyway.
The Headlamps relay provides the _ground_ for both low and high beams 
depending on the position of the Light Switch.
Have you lost both High and Low beams?
I would check the relay connections first to confirm ground applied to 
the two Red/Yellow wires from the Light Switch.
The relay at rest should switch the ground to the Low beams from the switch.
If you don't see a ground on the relay terminals then you may have a 
faulty switch on the dash.

Oliver,

Graham is correct, you can check the variation in resistance as the engine 
heats up as he indicates.

Is your fuel gauge working properly?  (Both the temperature and fuel gauges 
take power from the gauge voltage regulator -- a little device under the 
dash on the right side of the steering column support.)  If the fuel gauge 
is OK, then the GVR is OK.

Disconnect the lead from the sending unit.  Do you have voltage at the lead 
when the ignition switch is on?

You have a 1600, right?  You need to make sure the sending unit is properly 
grounded.  I think you should be able to get one probe from your multimeter 
onto the shell of the sending unit adjacent to the positive terminal.  There 
should be zero resistance between the shell of the sender and ground.  (On 
2000's the sending unit is in an intermediate housing, and a ground path 
from that housing can be a problem.  You shouldn't have a similar situation 
on the 1600, but the ground could be a problem.

If everything checks out per Graham's notes and my notes, it's probably best 
to just replace the sending unit.  The sender is usually the problem, but no 
point in pulling it out of the head without a few checks.

Paul,

Do the other lights (parking/tail)  work?

There is a fuse for the lights in the fuse block.  Likely the culprit, but, 
if it is the fuse, you will want to figure out why it failed.  Look for 
frayed wires in the lighting circuit.  If you don't have a good wiring 
diagram, download one for the 1969-1970 models form 311s.org.

around 2 years ago I loaned my lightweight race roadster to Jack McCormick who
works for one of the wineries at Watkins Glen with the agreement that he could
build and race it and I could race it too... this was done because he just
plain couldn't come up with the money to buy the car but had the mechanical
ability to build it so I thought I'd help him achieve one of his dreams in
life...he'd gotten his competition license too...it was clear that the car was
still mine as he had not paid for it...fast forward to last week at the Glen-
Jack told me he "had bad news" about my race car...that when he'd gotten into
it he found the frame was badly cracked and it was unsafe so he'd JUNKED MY
CAR!!!! WTF??? never even called me to tell me there was a problem. I've left
messages for him which he is not returning, he just plain had no right to do

Great recollections of Dave and this car.  One of the reasons I got my 
roadster.

Sorry to hear of its demise.

AH CRAIG you do attract drama which is why we love you. Call his local PD and
have them drop in on him. You don't need to have him arrested. Have the cops
find out where the car is. We all know it was not junked.
Good Luck Buddy,

Dave Murphy

It has been my experience that the multi-connections wthin the late model
light switch are prone to getting build-up, so that you get an "off" position
at the normal position, and an "on" position slightly off of that.  Of course
the solution is cleaning of the internals, although disconnecting and removing
from the backside is no party.  ( managed to move the wiring harness loop in
such a manner that my wipers stopped working, and it tunrs out the wiper
problem wasn't electrical, but the wire loop had "caught" the linkage.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, Craig.  In addition to criminal
action, if any, you can also sue the thief for Conversion. That is an
intentional tort, so you might also collect punitive damages.

well, there is no question that the car has been crushed, I talked to the scrap yard that did the deed... turns out Jack's son Sean took it upon himself to take the roadster to the scrap yard beginning of august, evidently in his mind it was junk...really sucks, but Jack called me today and says he will pay me back what I offered him the car for in the first place- what I had in it. hopefully my factory race R16 and other spares still exist, Jack will be finding out about that. will pay me for those too if I can't get them back. so much for my dreams of racing the car someday...it was a very fast chassis and was in the national runoffs 3x.

so Jack's son Sean told me he also scrapped my factory race motor because the "block was cracked from condensation" I called the scrap yard back and where I'd been told earlier in the week it came in and was crushed beginning of august after they removed the "wide wheels" now they say they have no record of the car coming in- that if it came in, must have been as "tin" then they got pissy and hung up on me. can't help but wonder if they sold it to someone after it came in...the whole thing just sounds so fishy, I'm in hope the car still exists. Jack knew the history on the car, it's unimaginable to me it would get scrapped while in his possession

I still think you need to involve the police. Maybe their presence will 
shake loose some different truth from the scrap yard.

Many years ago I had a newly-rebuilt 5-spd shipped from Sheeler's Rising Sun Racing in Ohio to a 'trusted' shop where I was going to have it installed in my '70 2L.

There was a good 6-month delay as to when they could take on the job, but they assured me the gearbox was safe. Fine by me, I was in an apartment and couldn't store it easily.

The same shop races at our local Summit Point.

Gearbox would become misplaced.  No one knew what happened to it. Vanished.  Probably still in someone's car somewhere.

I kicked myself for many years not keeping better track of it in the time frame, and Craig, I have to guess you're feeling the same way right about now.

Rub it in the dirt and move on, that's my advice. Saves having to carry poison around for the misdeeds of others.  You can control your part of it.

There is no way to recover the car until  you report it stolen. Even if you
find it the authorities can not take it from whomever has it because it is not
considered a stolen vehicle. The scrapyard has to run stuff through a database
by law to see if it is stolen, if it's not in that database they can not be
held responsible.

You need to report it.

Yep - last time I scraped a car body they checked a list of stolen items
including cars before they would except it.

But, I guess Craig did not know it was "missing" before they scrapped it.

Reading Paul's story makes me nervous about my situation:

I have had a complete set of 67.5 gauges at the restorer's (no names, 
but he is in socal) for almost two full years now. Makes me wonder if I 
am going to get screwed. Or have I already been screwed? Can get him to 
the phone. Doesnt return emails. Doesn't return voice mails. Oh bloody 
hell.

Reading Paul's story makes me nervous about my situation:

I have had a complete set of 67.5 gauges at the restorer's (no names, 
but he is in socal) for almost two full years now. Makes me wonder if I 
am going to get screwed. Or have I already been screwed? Can get him to

hell.

I "lost" an R16 and gearbox from a Grand Prairie, TX shop in 1983 on 
much the same basis, reported the "loss" to GP PD, and circulated the 
engine s/n to see if it turned up anywhere.  Nope.

Hi Tim:

I used the following company with good results.

The results were noticeable and the cost was far below a new harmonic

Hi Tim, on the strokers I've seen and worked on, they have used the 1600 
front pully instead of the U20 balancer. The reason is the U20 balance 
has a larger outer diameter than the 1600 pully. The u20 balancer  will 
work but you will have to source a special size front seal to accomidate 
the smaller 1600 timing cover hole and the larger diameter U20 balancer 
to fit it. Don't ask how I found this out, I also have a stroker I'm 
building. I just wanted to shed some light on the subject and maybe save 
you from having the balancer rebuilt and then finding out that a 
different size seal is needed... Bill

Subject: [Roadsters] Driver's door glass
Message-ID: <NNEJLCLFHGMBEEKOEPAHMEIHCDAA.stebharvey@ameritech.net>

Group,

My driver's door glass has never operated correctly from day one and has
since gotten to the point where it does roll up or down. I exposed the
inside of the door and found that the glass was not in the lower/bottom
assembly and that the assembly was not inserted into the front and rear arm
rollers. Upon inspection, the wing window guide and outer door guides are
intact. I checked the outer guide lower bracket and it is intact and secure.

The only way I can see how all of the pieces must go together is to install
the lower/bottom assembly onto the two roller arms amd secure the plastic
retainer on the rear arm. I also removed the wing window assembly. I then
inserted the glass into the lower arm pressing it into the lower/bottom
assemblies rubber "U" shaped gasket. I applied a small amount of white
grease to the rubber gasket to help insert the glass into the gasket. I then
installed the wing window assembly with the bottomer front and back of the
glass riding in the channels. When I rolled the window up and down the glass
came out of the lower/bottomer assembly. Any ideas on the proper procedure
for correctly installing the glass into the up/down window assembly?


Thanks

Steve,

You didn't say whether the glass moves freely in the channels with 
everything connected.  It sounds like yours is binding somewhere.  I'd 
assemble the mechanism and look for binding when you lower the glass with 
the inner door panel off.

I don't know what plastic "retainer" your are referring to.  The only 
"retainer" of which I am aware is the one which prevents the door glass 
assembly from being raised too far.  I think that part goes in the upper 
roller channel.

It has been a number of years since I had my doors apart, but I seem to 
recall that the door window glass was just pressed into the rubber U-shaped 
gasket and lower bracket.  As long as the window moves freely in the 
vertical channels, things should work properly.

I can tell you I did not remove the door glass from the lower brackets when 
I took the window mechanisms out of the doors to clean and re-lubricate 
them.  The outer rubber weatherstrips and door "fuzzies" must be removed to 
get the door glass in and out with the lower bracket attached.  I remember 
that much.

I hope that helps.

Gary

Steve,

There is supposed to be a rubber cushion on that bracket.  The part number 
was superseded a couple of times.  I show 80317-A3200 as the last, but my 
book dates from the late '70s, so it could have changed later.  I doubt that 
it is still available anywhere,but you may be able to get one from a junk 
door, or, if your passenger door has the cushion in place, fashion something 
to suit.

Here is a breakdown of the window winder mechanism in the attachment 
plus a picture of the window stop.
The bottom of the glass should be a tight fit inside the lower channel.
In fact the channel appears to be crimped against the rubber seal at the 
base of the glass.
Corrosion in that channel can force it open thus not gripping the glass 
correctly.

Hi Tim, I am no expert and can only tell you of my recent, limited experience.  I recently spun a rod bearing on my U20 and my engine builder had a set of forged custom rods built by a firm in LA.  They are 580 grams each, about 2/3 the weight of a stock rod.  They ran $900.  Let me know if you are interested and I can get you the contact to have a set made.  Good luck, Dewey

All,

Here's a mystery.  Car was running fine, started running like crap, the cause:
one of the lashpads decided to excuse itself from the head, and migrate down
through the timing chain to the bottom of the oil pan where it sat, uninjured.
Now the mystery: why would lashpad want to run away from home?  Has anyone
else had this problem?

Possible culprits: 

Sticking valve 
Broken valve spring 
Overrevving

Nathaniel,

No, I have never heard of that happening, but there are many with more 
experience than I have with the range of possible failures in U20s.

I have a hard time imagining how a lash pad could run away from home unless:

1.  The lash pad were improperly installed in the first place, or,
2.  A valve spring is weak (or broken) and floated during an aggressive 
acceleration event, and allowed the pad to escape.

The lash pads sit in a ridged depression in the valve spring retainer.  I 
don't see any way the lash pad could become loose as long as there is 
tension between the pad and rocker.

Gary
