What did you do to your dime today?

[edekalil]

Drove to pick up the bouts and lock washers to lower the back of the goon.

These guys are great when it comes to nuts and bolts. Also aired out the goon and put a few more parts on the motor.

[uieluck]

How bitchin. Paint em a nice white. I may just do this

 

So WIN!

 

[jovial_cynic]

I brought it back home to Olympia after a seven year hiatus in California.  :D

[edekalil]

So WIN!

 

Love that rat and wrench sticker. I sent 71dimer a payment for some just hope he's still making them. I'm sure he gets a lot of request for them. O I love that blind setup as well.

[edekalil]

Finally got some more parts on the motor (starter, alternator, radiator) Now gotta connect the exhaust and down pipe. Still gotta find the tube that comes out the side and connects to a Pcv valve. And need to put a carb on it. Hopefully not far away from cranking it up after putting good gas hoses and stuff on here soon. Got some parts to hook up the emergency brakes so now that's working.

i had the stock type 3 core radiator and the car always ran at 195 I had a fan clutch that went bad and locked up so i replaced it , the new clutch spun free and I didnt have time too get another one before canby so blue stayed home and we brought cindy the 1200 coupe

this pissed me off just a little so I got a koyo radiator new stock style water pump duel mishimoto slim electric fans and a derale fan controller

I also got a stock l20 thermostat housing with three inlet holes

one for the stock sender and gauge

one for the autometer gauge

and one for the sender to turn the fans on

I am super happy with the radiator and fans driving down the road on a hot day it stays at or below 180 and in traffic creeps up to about 185

I am running a pusher and a puller so there is still alot of air that passes by the carbs and intake manifold

I had to space the radiator just like the champions just in case anyone is wondering how these fit

the fan controller with relay

close but nothing rubs

these are 10 inch fans

the spacers came from the distribution blocks on 280z brake lines

the fender one for the thick spacer and the firewall one for the thin spacer

all of the holes line up with factory core support holes and if you are running a stock fan the shroud will also bolt up to the tabs provided

I used 2 of those tabs to mount one side of the puller fan

 

Very nice, for added safety measure get a pressure release cap.

 

I'm either going to order a koyo or get a custom made radiator here locally, my 1000 mile piece of shit champion blew my head gasket....fucker has a hole down in the seams where the fins end at the bottom....don't ever buy a champion, shit quality!

[edekalil]

Got a few bolts turned on the goon.

[Lockleaf]

^^^ His car time was wasted being awesome and digging through his stash on my behalf. :)

[edekalil]

Hope you enjoy.

[edekalil]

Made her drive me and my brother around town today and watch people do double takes and ask what year Datsun is that?

 

[edekalil]

Not yet but I have all of what I need to lower the goon. This is the last of what I needed. ( shortened struts and the stuff for the rear.

 

 

So now after it is running I will have no reason to not do it.

[edekalil]

Ordered some excuse manifold to down pipe gaskets.

[edekalil]

Ordered some exaust manifold to down pipe gaskets.

[edekalil]

Forgot to put up a pic of rigging this spring on each side of the rear of the ebrake on the goon.

 

Realized there was not a oil sending unit on the motor so found one and put it on.

[edekalil]

Also took her shopping for the exaust gasket for the goon.

 

 

 

 

[DatMo]

I fixed my fuel tank and got the car going but unfortunately I think my regulator isn't working? And/or carbs need a rebuild or really good tune.

 

Looking for anyone in SoCal that could come to do a tune.

[edekalil]

Gigantic thanks to Bananahamuck for this very much needed part. I thank you my Goon thanks you.

 

[DatMo]

I actually put the stock fuel pump back on but I'll be keeping my electrical setup for next swap. I also fixed one of the gaskets on my carbs and now they don't leak anymore :D I'll be tuning them and timing on Friday and then I'll be finishing up interior shortly as well.

[edekalil]

Trying to get the goon to fire up.

[edekalil]

The tank is gummed up with the old varnish tar from evaporated gas from the past. Got the motor started using a can with some gas in it to get her running she's a little ruff still, gotta get gas flowing from the tank first. I can at least drain this tank easer because I can get to the plug.

[edekalil]

Got plans to start her again and run her a little, try to get her up to temp and see if she will idle on her own and check for any signs of leaks. Got to clean up the Webber 32/36 dgv and figure how to hook up the link edge. Also figure if I can fish something down the file line to free up the flow and get the tank in gummed up.

[edekalil]

Drove this one.

 

 

And fired up this one.

 

 

[edekalil]

Fired her up trying to get her to smooth out some. Got it up to running temp seems ok no leaks yet.

 

 

Put some perttys on her.

 

[edekalil]

This one left me half way to the coffee shop, out of gas just as I was thinking when might she do that since the gauge does not work right now.
