el dizzy failed so Im putting points back in untill I find a L engine

dizzy . then Ill swap the dizzy drive with A engine shaft I i think it

will be bolt in . no mod to bracket or anything .

[wayno]

You cannot just bolt on electronic ignition to a J block, you have to make it out of an original distributor and a matchbox, mike did it in his thread, it's on the first page how he did it.

Some others have adapted a pectronics setup I believe onto a stock distributor, but I cannot recall which thread it was done in.

[JoeCool]

That's a nice looking truck!

[highdesertdatsun]

thanks joe cool

wayno the drive gear roll pin hole is incorectly spaced on the A engine

dizzy . the thread that shows it being installed is using a L engine dizzy

i think thats my only issue with making it work. in that thread they had to mod.

the advance plate but on a A engine dizzy its clocked just right . only shaft issue.

so a shaft from a L engine dizzy is my new quest also a vacum advance pod with only

advance and no retard because the dual pod one is longer and may contack head/block

if clocked as stock one was designed. I read that thread when you advised it last.

it got me started. im closer thanks . i will post it when i figure it out. I had i

all apart today. but I gotta drive this thing today. el dizzy or points its gonna

move on its own power. may not stop as of yesturday my drivers rear wheel

cylinder started leaking . thats next ha ha

[highdesertdatsun]

I guess i could go petronics but I trying to stick with matchbox if poss.

I recently did a Pertronix swap.  Simple install and so far, so good...  http://community.ratsun.net/topic/52578-anyone-recommend-converting-to-electronic-ignition/

[highdesertdatsun]

i remember like it was yesturday. your petronics install that is .

OK i drove it holy shit. it runs good real good for fuck sakes.

has a slight rattle from what im guessing is timming chain after

revs. not anything major though. If any body knows the size of rear wheel

cylinders im gonna get a kit to rebuild my new found leaker.

I also need rear blocks 2 inch to drop it just a bit.

the torsion bars adjuster bolts are at two diff lenths so i guess

I must turn one of the bars to make that right then lower it a little.

when braking i hear the metal to metal where rubber control arm bush is toast.

rebuilt my trans mount with urathane its working great. I love that stuff.

I am using a later model steering wheel that looks crappy on the wheel part so I am going to wrap it with leather.  This will help with the heat from the AZ summer sun.

and then

[highdesertdatsun]

results of three inch blocks and adjusting t bars

[highdesertdatsun]

did brakes all around and replaced drivers front wheel studs
and upper outer control arm bushings

[Cahoon520]

Nice Work!

[Charlie69]

looking good.  Have fun adjusting the reat brakes with the blocks in.

[highdesertdatsun]

Your so right. The new shoes require frequent adjustment until seated

and even my special tile tool that works like made for truck barely works.

If the adjuster wasn't freshly cleaned and lubed it would be a bitch.

[highdesertdatsun]

I freaking scored!! I was looking for nice carpet stuff to install in Nikki.
I remembered I have a account w a trim place. the dino liner ,mat and carpet
online was expensive. So I called Phoenix trim & supply co. to check on prices
of loopcarpet black and foil backed liner matt .I spent 169.44 total .shipped.
i bought 3 yards of 72" black loop carpet "nice stuff" 4 black medium heal pads.
some may want small because its like a floor matt. but im gonna bring it up firewall
a little. also 5 yards of 27 oz s/s foil pad 48" , the binding for edges of carpet black
1.25 inch black 10 yards. and last but not least a bottle of autocare l/p cleaner.32oz

Take lots of pics of your work.  I need carpet as well, but I'm not prepared to take on actually sewing in binding and foot pad, so I'll have to hire someone to make a kit for me.  Maybe you??? ;)

[highdesertdatsun]

The kid that works for me used to help do aircraft interiors. Where stuff has tourqe specs and

all kinds of other regs . We are starting Friday .

He owns a souped up sewing machine. Well see what he can do.

[highdesertdatsun]

we are using spectra 8lb test for the thread because I want it strong!!

maybe overkill but.

[highdesertdatsun]

Spectra failed now we have HD nylon thread. Spectra to limp for machine .
