Captain Crazy Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks Guys, I'm off to tinker with it, I'll let you know later today how it went. Quote Link to comment
Captain Crazy Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It seems fixed now :rofl: . I took out bolt #81, but was having trouble trying to get the larger jet #83 out with the metal heat plate in the way, so I went ahead and pulled the carb. When I took out the smaller jet #80 I could see a mirco spec of what looked like plastic. Then I cleaned out the bowl/float area, it seemed pretty clean. The carb gasket between the metal plate and the carb got torn so i put a little sealer on the tear :crying: ."IN THE past I had a hard time FINDING NEW carb MOUNTING gaskets" I also tighten all the screws on the underside of carb, they seemed a bit loose,I also tighten all the other i seen around the carb. Took it out for a spin, it seems good now. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Captain Crazy Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Nice bro, glad to hear it... Btw love the 67 nova, my first car was a 62 but always wanted a 66-67 I had 67 for around 13 yrs, Paid $1500 for it when it was a bomber. I changed the Motor, trans and rear end when I got it. It had a 305 that had a knock in the motor, The guy I bought it from gave me a 283 and 350 turbo trans. I put those in. The rear end had a whine to it, so I bought one out of a 63 4 door for $40 and put that in. I had my Brother inlaw paint it in my back yard.$500 on paint, $600 for his Labor and about $400 on new bumpers, Door handles Drip rails and a Valance . Pretty much did everything on the cheap. Hagerty insurance only charges Around $130 a yr for $13,000 full coverage. I had a couple trick 65s in the 80s and a 66 I never finished back then because I got married and had my 1st son on the way. Here's a youtube of the 67. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APKGa2AP7zg Thanks guys for your tec help. I love my 80 Datsun and it pretty much is my Daily Driver. I'll put a pic of it up soon.
