New World Datsuns...

Here is what will be my new DD until i decide to finish my KA swap.....



1977 620 KC Deluxe (but its not really a deluxe, more on that later

after a bath and an oil change

looks good next to the goon



so long story short i bought this and drove it home from Eugene knowing it had issues.

i still need to to a compression test and a leak down test to see where im burning oil.

Nice dude. Did you get that from erm... i forget his name on ratsun.

Interesting decals ... it looks like a solid truck.

That decal that wraps below the 1/4 window is something I've never seen before, but I sort of like it.

Food for thought, I'm trying to find a PDF version

Sure looks solid!

Got it up on the lift for a little bit, rear main seal just be toast cus I went thru 5 quarts of oil between Eugene and portland :/



So I ordered a gasket kit today and I'll pull the Motor soon for a regasket and paint

Tossed a set of my spare dog dishes on, it's the little things

A whole re gasket. Damn.

Id just drop the trans, swap the rear main and drive it for a little bit lol. Taking time away from KA truck

5 quarts in like 100 miles? or 1 quart per 20 miles?

It'd be a slip and slide in that bell housing. That clutch would slip like a mofo..

Sandwich plate! but even then you're right. a quart erry 20 miles. that'd cause some shit. I had a leaky rear main on an 84 jetta, It slipped like a ma fucker. In fact, I drove it maybe 50 miles after I bought it then sold it

My main seal only leaked when parked. It would DUMP everytime I turned the car off. But I could run it for hours with minimal loss. So weird.

Nice grab! I was debating it for a long while.. such a clean, original truck. Kudos.

Compression/leak down test with Nismodr tomorrow.

Well that's a problem....


And a bled the brakes but still don't have a pedal yet :/

Prob gunna toss this l18 in and call it good

But I finally got the 411 moved to storage and my Datto in my garage for the 1st time since I moved in !!

Glad to see things still moving around. haven't seen you on the FB lately really. Figured you were busy.

So once the L18 gets tossed in you should be all ready to shove a blue king cab in there and and start doing KA related stuffs?

L18, my spare 5 speed, install the interior, and fix the breaks and then it's back to my Ka truck and the canby Rush.

You and the rush for Canby, always fun to watch. Although I'm sure the sleepless nights are not fun on your end.
