New World Datsuns...

I wished you lived closer, I would have it running...

I do believe you have my number. I've got a good hei dizzy we could try out if you needed to.

pull a plug wire, stuff a plug in it.. lay it on something steel, and turn the engine over. you will see the spark plug spark. if not, then you don't have spark... It needs to be grounded on something.

Be sure and have it in neutral and your ebrake set

i have a control box from a 78 too

I need to check te pickup on the dizzy. I have just had no drjve once I get off work to work on my own shit. Hopefully I will get to it soon. I have supply voltage it seems where ever supposed to. But I'm not getting any spark anywhere. I will brin my colt meter home tomorrow and check the pickup in the dizzy. What did u say te resistance reading should be Jacob?

Well I should have a new matchbox here in the next week. Gonna tow the truck to my work soon so I can get her running again. There is stuff I need to get done by canby. The canby list
•finally finish my ellipsoid conversion with hids
•one amber high beam and one intake funnel in the other high beam bucket
•powder or atleast spray the titans white or black (opinions?)
•install new air dam with mkI chin spoiler
•depending on when Adam goes to paint maybe some door swapping is in store

for me!?!?!?!? really!

how sweet of you

Guess its a good thing I didn't this is my Christmas present to myself. I get it next month once I pay for it. Got it from a buddy. Hoping to have it on by canby. Needs a rebuild and stacks. Killer price too

Let's just say I have payed more for JUST a downdraft carb.

It lives!!!!! Back pickup in the dizzy. I need to adjust the air ago a little and readjust the timing. But happy truck. Should go back to driving it for a little bit on Saturday.

woot woot!!

drover around for the day... missed driving the truck.. but as i was on my way home it made this awful noise... it only did it for like a few seconds then was gone.... then i couldn't get it to do it again. then it did it once more randomly... honestly it sounds like the tranny fuckin blew... but it is still shifting fine and holds its gear.. im gonna just keep driving it. if it keeps doing it i will try different things to see what effects the noise.... idk.. its a shitty noise... sounds like gears grinding.

Well it has been a interesting day for Stella. She must be mad at me for taking so long to fix her. She has lost a alternator bolt, the strange noise was my tie down for the battery failing and the battery hitting the radiator fan lol.

Damn old Datsuns,at least motor swaps can happen in fairgrounds

This is true. Lol. I'm gonna be remembered forever
