I enjoyed reading through this thread. Did you do much prep work in regards to the rust on the battery tray or did you paint right over it? Also, did you spray paint the engine bay or was it done with a 2 stage paint like from a spray gun? I'm currently addressing my rust issues in my b210's engine bay and have given it some ospho treatment.

I wire wheeled the rust down to bare metal for the battery tray and then used self etching primer from a rattle can. The rest of the engine bay I just cleaned and painted over. The paint I used was a color matched paint code that I had put into rattle cans that was a single stage with a button of the bottom of the can to add the hardener when I was ready to spray. Sherwin williams auto is where I had it made and it was about $35 a can. I used about 3 cans.

 

I'm glad you have enjoyed this thread.

 

I'm going to repaint the trunk if I can ever fix the leak.

My plan is to use the same type of cans but I had no idea I could go to sherwinn williams to get color matched paint for those push button spray cans. That's sweet. Thanks for the info!

Can someone show me how the jack and tool bag or lug wrench is supposed to mount?

The jack goes right there, but in normal upright position, then hand-crank it up until it fits tight to the bracket.

 

The lug wrench fits in the black Nissan bag and lays on top of the spare tire.

The jack handle I'm not sure but I think mounts on the missing rear trim panel. The owners manual shows it.

I don't at the moment. I just put another weber on that is supposed to be jetted for a a14 but it gets worse mileage than the one I took off.

 

Currently I'm trying to get the idle smoother. I guess I need to look at the plug gaps and valve lash again.

 

I bought a new Weber that was supposedly jetted for the 78 B210. It ran awful, way to rich. I went ahead and put that exact Weber carb in my 720 with an L20B and it still ran to rich.

 

Conclusion, if I am going to continue messing with Weber carbs, I had better buy a jetting kit and record which jetts fit which engines.

What a nightmare. This is my third starter.

 

What brand of starter are you guys running. These rebuilt work like shit and don't even fit. This is a 16211 from oriellys that comes in three different styles but only one fits and you never know which style they have in the box. Is there a better brand? Is it possible to get a new one from the dealer and are they really new? Any info or opinions much appreciated.

I normally run the gear reduction starter form the newer models. Looking at the application on their website, O'Reilly thinks all years of A-series from '71-82 use the same starter. They do not.

Most likely remanufactured, not new. But I'd take a Nissan reman over an O'Reilly starter any day.
