Re: Archetype's 1979 Datsun 810 Wagon

They do work and they're accurate. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5489/11095194495_f59de842b2_z.jpg Make sure your heater-core hoses/heate...

Re: Archetype's 1979 Datsun 810 Wagon
No it's like a sweet smell it could be a little water in the cylinders but if so it doesn't affect performance at that bad.
