Superfunk

Hi all; One day I went to start my 620 truck, and when I turned the key to start the truck, the " CHG, and BK " red light flashed on, and then a huge bang, it sound like a gun going off right next to me inside the truck, even the neighbors heard it, and then ALL of the electrical went out, including all of the lights. I went out, and bought a new battery, and positive battery cable with a new Fusibile Link, and when I hooked it up all of the lights worked again. I tried to start the truck, and I just heard a small clunk, and then all of the electrical including the lights went off again. If you leave the truck alone for a day, or two, and then hook up the battery the same thing happens again. Today I hooked up the battery again, and the lights came on, so I took my hand held starter button, and clamped it onto the starter switch, and the positive side of the new battery. The key in the ignition was off, so I pressed the starter button, and nothing happened, except all of the electrical system including the lights went dead again, and the motor never had a chance to turn over. I am now thinking that it is a bad starter that is doing all of his electrical going dead stuff, but I have never seen this before with a bad starter. This is my first Datsun pickup, so I am now clueless. Has anyone else ever experenced this, and does anyone know how to fix it.? .. ( My Fusible Link is still ok. ) Thanks for any help, I need it. George

Thanks for the information, but where can I buy a Fusibile Link for my 620 pickup, every auto parts store I go to says they can't get a Fusible Link because the truck is to old, so where can I buy one ? Does anyone know what they cost ? Are there any Datsun parts stores any where in Calif.? Do they have any Datsun pickup clubs, or cruises in, or near San Diego, Calif.? My dad had a cousin that lived on Vancouver Island in the 1960's, we used to go there every 2 to 3 years, and also all over Canada for the rest of my relatives. Thanks, George

Hi All; I am new to the Datsun stuff, and I don't know where to buy parts I need when it comes to electrical. 1. Does anyone know of an Honest parts dealer where I could buy a Fusibile Link that goes from the ( pos. ) side of the battery cable down to the connection ? 2. It looks easy to make, but just incase can anyone tell me if I need to buy some kind of special wire to make one, and what gage, and length it should be ? The guy that I bought this truck from kind of jerry rigged the Fusible link, and then just twisted the two wires together, and put electrical tape on it. Also... I want to rebuild my stock Fuel Pump, does someone make a re-build kit for it ? Thanks to ALL for your help, I really appreciate it. George.

Hi all; My 1973 Datsun 620 had the following modifications done by the former owner. ( other than these it is stock. ) 1. L20B motor. 2. Electric fuel pump. This is the way the truck was when I bought it, and I made No Modifications other than ALL new brakes. Yesterday I tried to start my pickup, and I heard the elect fuel pump working, and then it stopped. I tapped lightly on it, and the fuel pump started again, but it still wasn't getting any gas to the carb.. I then turned the truck off, and went inside for a while. Later I then went back to try again, and when I turned on the ignition to start the truck, the Red CRG. and the BRK. light on the speedometer immediately flashed on, and off, and then a loud Boom like a Fire Cracker, and then ALL of the electrical went dead, nothing, no lights, no radio, not even a click on the started solinoid, everything is now dead. I can't figure out where to start, or how to fix it. When I looked at the wiring I saw that someone had cut the wire where it looks like a Fuseable Link was cut out, and the wire twisted together on the positive side of the battery. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to fix the electrical again.? ( The battery is new, and works fine in another car. ) Thanks George

I am looking for the following; 1. One complete Power steering box, with The Steering columb, and Pitman arm. 2. One Power Steering pump, with ALL of the Brackets for a L 20 B motor. 3. Basically Everything that I would need to Switch over to Power Steering. Thanks, George.

Hi; I have a 1973 Datsun 620 pickup 1. So if you drove it then why are you selling it, did it not work right.? 2. Did you have it in a 620 pickup ? 3. Does anything need to be rebuilt on these units..? 4. Do you have ALL of the Brackets for the pump, and steering box.? 5. Will the Electric pump last as long as an original pump.? 6. I have a 1973... 620 pickup, so do I need to change the Pitman arm, or any other steering linkage, like the Tie Rod, and ETC.? 7. Do you have any pictures ? 8. Do you by chance live in California, so I could come by, and take a look ? Thanks, George.

Let me know what you have, and what you are asking for them. Thanks, George
