A stretched chain can lead to incorrect timing which creates many other problems you normally wouldn't have to deal with. Check it with a timing light. Then you can move your sprockets like ol' Mikey sez.

This should be a STICKY for DATTO NEWBS. It's never ACTUALLY the carb, Your timing chain has stretched. Check your timing. (if it doesn't run- STATIC TIMING, 1st cyl @ TDC then,). Has your truck SAT UN-DRIVEN for awhile???? CHAIN STRETCH is your dirty culprit. Big-money Bet.

Yes, TDC on the "compression stroke" ONLY occurs when all the valves are closed. If the valves are open you're on either TDC on the intake or exhaust stroke. And you double-posted this question.

That looks like a "Yankee" tri-bar rear view to me. About $30 used on ebay, or a lot more for a NOS pair.

California is awesome. Wish you were here.

So... it's a scratch built 'rod with Datsun motivation? Errrr... "race-warrior" motivation I mean.

I'd like to see what the front-end/grill will look like.

Blocks are never a problem until it's too late... or until you need to adjust your rear brakes (also, these trucks need angled blocks or an angled shim to keep the driveline from sounding like the carrier bearing is going bad).

I got primed parts on there now and I don't want 'em to rust... Do any spray cans have this color of copper? I'm not winning any paint contests so I'm not super picky, but if anyone can suggest a copper color that is close that would be hella cool. Thanks- J

HID lights suck.... Our (human, warm-blooded, "mammal") eyes can not properly process the unnatural types of light we use. Neon, Xenon, all that "cheap bright" GLITTER-FLASH doesn't exist on the natural, given spectrum. Not too mention, this is all brand spankin' NEW technology (but let's be frank; it's non-human, "alien" technology,) and we have no CLUE what the long-term effects may be... (my money's on "EARLY ONSET OF BLINDNESS IN MAMMALS SUBJECTED TO OVER-EXPOSURE") How long "over-exposure" is may be subjective... I saw "converting your headlights" in an unlocked tech-thread and I was SECONDS away from being THE BIGGEST TROLL I COULD BE.... But then I was like "Nah, this is America," (or, I mean, ya know; if you Canadians will please forgive my BROAD use of the term "America",) And we can FUCK our LIVES up how we WANT to, And if I don't like that ish I'll just keep my OLD-FEELING ASS HOME at night So....? Why even say "Dude, those super-bright lights are probably bad for you,"....? BATMAN. (stay with me here, I'm referencing an example:) In the first season of the original "Batman: the animated series" there is an episode where a man kidnaps orphans and forces them to live illegally with him in his secret, underground, drainage-ditch, squatted-on, "sewer" lair FULL of crocodiles. The SHOWN method of punishment in this dystopia? a small room illuminated with only the "old school" fluorescent tube lights (you know the ones that flicker when they are about to expire) And that was it! The punishment! being alone, in the too-bright-lit lonely room. Just sticking you in a room with those terrible lights was punishment enough at one time. Now we happily subject each other to the unknown consequences of this light spectrum EVERY EVENING.... Bro, too fucking much. None of you care or believe me.

Man you got the factory tach and some NICE cup-holders! And a suh-weet tall shifter

Should we start a 720 photo thread since the 720 gallery is "Not Found"?

Aww, I really wanted ideas for my 720 guys, is there another place to look?
