After months of searching, I never found an original used one or an aftermarket alternative. So, I had one fabricated:

MGB manifold gasket up to the early 70s is exactly the same as the E1 and J13-J15-J16.

Here is the J13 gasket on my E1 exhaust and intake manifold assembly: 

 

 

 

This is the J13 gasket and a British MGA/MGB gasket from Moss Motors: 

 

 

 

The MG gasket is a perfect fit, as stated above. 

 

 

 

This gasket is Moss Motors part #297-535 and looks like it is around $9 now.

I believe that the late 520 fenders (67-68) can be used on an early 520 truck (65-66) by simply removing the bracket that is added to the late 520 fender to mount the grille head light surrounds.
 
Here is what a 66 520 left fender single headlight area looks like.

 
Here is what a 67 520 left fender double headlight area looks like.

Wayno, Mike Klotz says the 320, 520, & 521 trucks use the same pin and the 620 pin dimensions are the same as the earlier trucks except are threaded in metric instead of SAE.  The 620 pins appear to be a different color and possibly made from a different material.
 
My research revealed:
According to these Datsun Part Manuals this is what the Manuals show:
320 520 521 take the 40023-3000 Pin
620 threw July of 1977 take the 40023-B5000 Pin
After July of 1977 was Ball Joints and Disk Brakes
 

 

[Charlie69]

There is 2 styles 520 fenders
 
1965 to 1966


1967 to 1968

 
You can remove the bracket and use the 67 to 68 fender on the 65 to 66 trucks.

I have original J13 eng/trans to either sell whole or in parts. the engine block is shot, due to throwing a rod. pics to follow. the tranny runs great, everything but the block is in good and running condition.

 

I will post this in the classified as well.

Cheers P3

[p3hawk]

the Pics are up in the classified section of this forum.

These are what I purchased for cab bushings for my 1966 520.

These are my Weber suppliers for decades Peirce Manifolds.  Watch their videos and subscribe to their YouTube Channel.

Call Pierce manifolds great people to deal with.  Mike Pierce explains the Weber and gives some good info in the following Videos.  They know Datsuns/Nissans.  By the way these are old videos and prices have gone up over the years.

Since this thread has spanned slightly beyond 1300-specific...

 

I bought a replacement rearview mirror from ebay seller blackkochh, who is located in Thailand.  I received it the other day, and the plastic part, while a tad cheapish, is fine, and if you pry out the ball mount it comes with, will slip onto the stock 520 ball mount with ease.  However, the glass is horrible... it is the most un-optic mirror you could possibly imagine.  I feel like I'm looking through prescription glasses... that belong to someone else.  I may try to extract the mirror and put the old mirror in its place (the old mirror was optically great, but a little spotty from being nearly 50 years old... it was the crumbling plastic that prompted the replacement).  Or, I may just put the old one back on, because the new one is terrible.  If the listing is accurate, there are 96 other people going cross-eyed as I type this post.

I get the mirrors out of old Mazda and Courier trucks.  I take the mirror of the mount and put it on the 520 521 mount.

Will look for one of these when I'm able to scout out the wrecking yards in my new area.  Thanks.

Getting hard to find they are 70 & 80 model trucks.  There is a little Phillips screw and nut that you need to loosen to get the mirror of the ball. I usually take the screw out completely until I have the mirror on the 520/521 ball.  I then adjust the tightness of the screw so the mirror is snug but not to tight.

Does anyone have a parts number or know where to source a J13 or J15 distributor hold down clamp? I purchased a Cardone Reman Distributor, number 31-600, but it didn't include a clamp. My J15 is running a Hitachi dizzy from a 320 and I want replace it with a distributor I can easily find replacement parts for.

Actually I'm looking for the hold down clamp that holds the distributor against the motor where you set the timing. Here's a picture Wayno posted for me:

Sorry for the double post but while I'm at it does anyone have a part number or link to a radiator fan that'll fit a J series water pump?
