The seller didn't say if it was a spare part, or if it was once part of a functioning SR-71 Blackbird, which is an important distinction given the cost. When it debuted in 1964, the SR-71 Blackbird b the mean looking surveillance aircraft that cruised high above the Soviet Union at speeds of up to mach 3.5 b cost the U.S. Air Force $34 million per air frame. Do you think this fraction of a supersonic spy plane is worth a fraction of its original cost? The eBay ad is scant on details, but it doesn't look like the seller, stevessupercoolstuff, has much experience selling aircraft parts. The bulk of his business appears to be lighted crochet hooks, with a smattering of other goodies including a Lyrics of John Lennon book, a W.C. Fields Super 8 comedy film, and a Dwight D. Eisenhower commemorative medal, among other trinkets. But none of the Steve's other merchandise is plastered with that cool 3-foot-tall Lockheed Martin Skunkworks logo. But whether or not you think the price is right, this orphaned rudder is a window into a different time, a period in American history when the Cold War was at its height and muscle cars were the way to get around. It's fitting then that Lockheed Martin would have designed a spy plane whose defense mechanism was pure speed. It's aviation's equivalent of the Pontiac GTO b an airframe designed around two massive engines. If the Soviets lobbed an anti-aircraft missile at one, the Blackbird's pilot could simply out accelerate it. And the strategy worked. Not one of the 32 SR-71s built in the mid-60s succumbed to enemy fire. That didn't stop the odd training mishap, though. Between 1966 and 1972, 12 were destroyed in crashes b with one pilot fatality in 1966. The last one went down in the South China Sea in 1989 after its left engine blew up and damaged the plane's flight controls. Its crew was rescued by a native fishing boat. Full size Compared to the embarrassment President Eisenhower suffered when the previous generation spy plane b the U2, basically a high altitude glider equipped with cameras b crash landed in Russia in 1960, the SR-71 was a stunning success. General Curtis LeMay, of "We should bomb Vietnam back into the stoneage" fame, didn't want another Francis Gary Powers-style imbroglio (in other words, military brass couldn't trust the pilots to eat their cyanide tablets like good boys when they were shot down by the commies, they needed to rely upon good technology and gutsy flying). The SR-71's development also spurred interesting innovations in everything from flight suit and ejection seat design to engine technology. The Blackbird is essentially a terrestrial spaceship, designed to fly at 80,000 feet above sea level b not quite outer space, but close to it. When parked on the tarmac, the SR-71 leaked fuel because it was designed to be leak free at altitude. Its pilots wore fully pressurized suits that could withstand the pressure of ejecting at speeds exceeding 2,100 mph. In 1976, Capt. Eldon W. Joersz and Maj. George T. Morgan set the speed record for normally aspirated aircraft (i.e. planes that weren't rocket-powered), hitting a blistering mach 3.5. So if you're into muscle cars, Cold War memorabilia or just need a cool wall hanger in your living room b and have $1 million to part with b maybe you can grab this piece of aviation history.

It may be legitimate. The number and art match what the records show. See http://www.wvi.com/~sr71webmaster/tail001.html and http://www.wvi.com/~sr71webmaster/tail008.jpg. A few years ago I worked with a guy who had been a flight planner for the Blackbirds. I once asked him if the real top speed was actually higher than the official record. He said, no, when they're flying in that mode it is basically an unthrottled ramjet, so it's actually flying at its max speed. I've always loved that plane. For something that isn't even armed, it sure looks wicked. Fortunately they've got one in the Museum of Flight here in Seattle, so I have the opportunity to see one up close every so often.

What do the plugs look like? If they're wet with fresh gas I would check the ignition. If they're dry, start looking at the fuel pump. Pull the outlet hose off, attach another hose from the outlet side into a jug, and crank the starter. Should see fuel come out. That divides the problem in half, right there. Let us know.

The symptoms sound like ignition. Carburetors don't fail abruptly. Fuel pumps do, so the suggestion to check fuel delivery is a sound one. The fact that you have an electronic distributor suggests the possibility that the ignition module is at fault. I once pulled our '83 Olds into the garage one night, and it wouldn't start the next morning. Dead EI module. I assume you do not have a timing light, or you would have tried that. Can you borrow one, or rent one from Advance, Pep Boys or the equivalent? You could crank the engine and make sure the plugs are firing on the timing mark. There's no substitute for a dynamic test -- checking the overall system function rather than relying on what one can determine by having the rotor pointed at the plug wire and believing the piston is at TDC. If the ignition is working right, shooting some starter fluid into the carbs will allow the car to fire, if not run without fuel from the pump. If that doesn't do it, it almost has to be ignition somewhere. Beyond that, it's tough to diagnose a problem from miles away.

I went to Lowes and found a firewall grommet that fit inside the cap. The inside "donut" hole was too small, so I enlarged it by placing the grommet in the cap and drilling it using 3/4" unibit and hand drill. Hold onto the cap (wearing gloves) and cut the hole from the back side, flipping it once to cover both sides evenly until the hole reaches the correct size. Fits like a glove and costs about $1.25.

I am not sure if it is worth the trouble of picking up and parting out. If there is interest by those on the list in parts from a 64, I am willing to pick it up and part it out. Hood, trunk lid, front fenders all look OK. Rear fenders are rusted on the front leading edge. Windshield and supporting frame look good, not sure about other parts. I have been told there is a new set of door handles, still in the Datsun box. Engine has supposedly been rebuilt. Has dual SU's. I am not sure if it is a 1500 or 1600. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Otherwise, it goes to the crusher.

Yes, there's a bit of cosmetic work so it doesn't look ratty. Questions for seller are still: - Mileage? History? - Engine rebuild only several hundred miles ago, but no proof? Need a good explanation on that. - Does it run? If not, why not, especially if only (supposedly) 500 miles since rebuild. If not, when was the last time it did run? - Wonder why the spare R16 and trans if VIN matches frame & motor? And do you, David, want the early flat-dash/low windshield or later high windshield model? Regardless, it doesn't hurt you to go look. Whether or not you buy it, it'll add to your roadster education.

When I restored my '66, I rechromed the handles, rather than buy new. Same with the taillight housings. I don't know what chrome costs today, though, so the disparity may be greater than it was when I did mine.

My son has been driving this car regularly for a couple of years but yesterday it died,while he was driving it he thought that it ran out of gas but it wasn't. It seemed as though it wasn't firing at all, gas was fine, I drained it and put new gas in. I replaced the plugs, distributor cap and rotor on the GBEI Dizzy. I am guessing that something has gone awry with the SU's BUT I can't even get it to fire up using starter fluid. Any thoughts, suggestions or even hey stupid did you check xxx?

Dewey, If it's not too late, and you are able...Please save it from the crusher!!! There is always an interest in parts. There are more 64s out there than you'd think, and every one of them could use spare parts. I'd be very interested in the windshield if it's in better shape than mine. Unfortunately I'm out of work at the moment and can't afford to put money into "spares", but it sure would be nice to know that there are "spares" to be had. How complete is this car?

I wish I could come up with a list like Les's, but MidOhio had their big Datsun weekend in 2010. This year if you want to see some great racing at one of the best spectators tracks in the world, come to MidOhio. Practice starts on Thursday, racing on Saturday & Sunday. Saturday the infield will fill with classic sports cars and laps are available, but you don't need to have your roadster to enjoy the weekend. Tom Phelan is coming up from North Carolina to race his 2000. Doc Herman should be there with his 2000. And there usually a bunch of old Datsuns on the track as well as the infield. Always a good weekend. Paul Ohio On Sun, Jun 17, 2012 at 4:21 AM, Linda J wrote: > A bit more details to sell it Paul.

Yes, the Moss unit worked out of the box, but at ~10V output the readings were "hot". I had planned to use a diode bridge to drop the Moss output voltage, but elected instead to use a $3 CC-CV DC-DC adjustable power supply module trimmed to ~8V, which seems to work fine. The CC-CV DC-DC board is not much larger than the OEM regulator and seems quite stable. - Bob On 6/12/2012 12:23 PM, Roy Haslett wrote: > What was the outcome of the Moss regulator? did it bolt up and work > without mods? > Roy > > *From:* Walter.Peterson > *To:* 'RWM' ; 'Datsun Roadster List' > > *Sent:* Tuesday, March 27, 2012 8:43 PM > *Subject:* Re: [Roadsters] Alternative to Bimetallic Strip Gauge > Regulator? > > I think I'll go in and buy one of those fancy things. > Moss Motors is on my walking path to my lunch time Hamburger Habit. > > Walt Peterson > Santa Barbara > 20R Street Racer > "Datsa 67" > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: datsun-roadsters-bounces at autox.team.net > > [mailto:datsun-roadsters-bounces at autox.team.net > ] On Behalf Of RWM > Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 10:55 AM > To: Datsun Roadster List > Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Alternative to Bimetallic Strip Gauge Regulator? > > Two in fact...

There is an indentation at the joint between the button and the hub at which one prys -- gently -- to pop the button off. Late cars twist to remove. You can disable the horn by pulling the lead from the horn button at the terminal on the horn relay.

As some of you know my 14 year old daughter and I have been working the last couple of years on a Roadster we found. The original engine had the head shaved too much and pistons were slapping the head. We decided to upgrade the engine and trans to an engine and 5speed trans out of a 1991 240SX. An S13 KA24DE. All the frame mods are done, engine and trans bolted in place. Our goal before it got too hot was to hear the engine fire in the chassis. Last Sunday we got to do that. Wired up the engine, made a makeshift gas can with fuel pump, and she lit off and ran. That was a great milestone to achieve before we put the car away for summer.

And we just bought a restored 1968 1600. The '68 had been sitting for over a year and only started a couple of times. We started it up and put about 300 miles on it over the course of a month B then blewB a cylinder. We rebuilt the head and got that problem all fixed (thank you Ralley!). Anyway, now the alternator is out and I am thinking it will be best to have the existing alternator rebuilt but I am wondering if there is a new alternator that will work. I have not been able to find a new alternator that has the proper power output. I did some checking and it looks like there is a problem with new alternators being over powered and burning out the wiring. Of course the good folks at the auto parts store have all kinds of things they say will work but I want to be sure before I make a purchase. I don't want to end up replacing the celinoid and starter and all the wiring in between. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

But then, I don't have any large add-on loads like a 4kW stereo or 1MM candlepower aircraft landing lights on my cars. Many people have converted to something called a "GM one-wire" alternator, and I think there is discussion on the 311s.org site about how to effect the conversion. I hear it is pretty straight-forward, if aftermarket is the way you want to go.

I installed a 30 amp inline blade style fuse to protect the old wiring. Only once did I blow the fuse, probably because I had on the head lights, driving lights, heater fan, and an electric cooling fan. I replaced the fuse, turned off the heater, and never had another problem. The alternator will only make as many amps as it needs to satisfy the draw on it. The 30 amp fuse kept it from making too much for the old system. No problem. And I mounted it on the passenger side of the R16 using the early model alt mounting bracket.

And we just bought a restored 1968 1600. The '68 had been sitting for over a year and only started a couple of times. We started it up and put about 300 miles on it over the course of a month B then blewB a cylinder. We rebuilt the head and got that problem all fixed (thank you Ralley!). Anyway, now the alternator is out and I am thinking it will be best to have the existing alternator rebuilt but I am wondering if there is a new alternator that will work. I have not been able to find a new alternator that has the proper power output. I did some checking and it looks like there is a problem with new alternators being over powered and burning out the wiring. Of course the good folks at the auto parts store have all kinds of things they say will work but I want to be sure before I make a purchase. I don't want to end up replacing the celinoid and starter and all the wiring in between. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Many people have converted to something called a "GM one-wire" alternator, and I think there is discussion on the 311s.org site about how to effect the conversion. I hear it is pretty straight-forward, if aftermarket is the way you want to go.

I have the old stuff just in case I ever enter a concourse ;-)), but will never go back My 2c Mike Harper, CAI, AARE Harper Auction & Realty 843-729-4996 "Experience Sells" www.AuctionMyRealEstate.NET --- On Fri, 6/29/12, BARTERDUDE at aol.com wrote: From: BARTERDUDE at aol.com Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Alternator question To: aultgc at att.net, jim.jones90 at comcast.net, datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net Date: Friday, June 29, 2012, 5:57 PM I've got to say the one-wire GM route is "fast and furious" even for the somewhat novice, if you're not trying to stay OEM.

Not that I was much of a technician but I employed some really sharp guys and had a partner with whom I'm still friends who is one of the best techs in the state. (The local ambulance companies have him build replacement electronic flashers for the extra emergency lighting on their rigs; the stock ones just don't hold up.) We built and installed many GM one wire units; the hot rod guys always wanted chromed ones. We also had what we called piggy back regulators which would plug into the place where the stock wiring plug would go. There were many alternators which we could get piggy backs for including most Fords. The hot rod guys who had Ford motors really liked that 'cause they didn't want any dadgum Chevy parts on their Fords. Point is that the one wire alternative is viable and long lasting. If part replacement when away from home is a concern carry a spare one wire regulator in your took kit so that you can get an alternator from any parts house and install the regulator in your hotel room.

I've tried several of the tools available at the auto parts store, and still can't get it off. Thank you in advance. S 675MIZU
