New World Datsuns...

Yes. Had to modify them some. Wich is not great, but ill get another set and see if they work without serius "adjustments.

Did way better on fuel on the.way to the beach, was into the throttle the whole way and used 3/8 of a tank.

Alright, lol, so this is weird, all coincidence, im not smart enough to think this far into the future.
I swapped gears, swappped tranies, im running a taller than stock tire. My speedo is dead on.

Woah.

Witch doctor.

Datsun Gods approved of your work.
You were rewarded with perfect speed.

Don't abuse it.

lol did you get pulled over?

Nope.

So, I filled up thursday morning, got home last night with almost 3/8 of a tank, I was fully prepared to get much worse gas mileage switching from that old webber and a 1200 to a 1.4 with su carbs... but I actualy think im getting better mileage. Did not expect that.

That's pretty damn good mileage.

Ill fill it up and get some numbers when shes dry, but in contrast, I usually fillup before I leave the peninsula, or at the latest westport. Yesterday I planned on stopping at westport, but was just over half a tank, decided to keep goin.

Ever have a shake from the mini mart there? Omnomnom.

Not too surprising. Webers aren't famous for their fuel economy. IMO they only make a decent upgrade compared to a worn out or otherwise fucked up Hitachi. SUs are just great carbs.

True, It was doing pretty good for a weber, if I.cleaned and tuned itbbefore a long trip. Untill it shit its guts out at least.

Completely agree Jess. Webers are just alright, good aftermarket support, and people tend to like them, but yea... SUs are probably the closest thing to EFI that not EFI.

"I got home with 3/8 of a tank"

Getting suspicious

After I drove to the airport, then to home depot, lunch, and then home.......

Filling my 2 gallon gas can before I go to work tomarow, just incase.

Datsun gods will give you one working gauge, gasoline or speedometer; you can't have both.

Last night I got home from work on Empty, like left turns dived the needle under the line, and right turns brought it back above. Today, the car had a good needle width between empty and the needle.

But yes, be suspicious.

Bwaaaahahahahaha
Its always worked perfect, but I did upgrade to a 50amp ir alt (+20ish amps lololol)
Maybe its causin some weirdness. Maybe ill just fill it up and see what it will hold at this point. Anything more than 5 gallons would be suspect as hell.
