  1. Thanks, I'll get the battery strap. I still need to replace passenger lower joint. Need to replace exhaust from down pipe since I'm scrapping. But the more I work on her the more I enjoyed her...
  2. Now I need seats... my daughters (11 and 5) put a pink cover on my bench seat, looks nice but not my style. What seats would fit in the cab? I was thinking doing something with my 2008 Civic Si back seat to make it work. Any ideas or recommendations?
  3. Truck is on the road FINALLY!!! (thanks Mike, 460n620, 650savag and everyone else who gave me carb tips) Installed the carb from National and is running great (only problem is not idle ling high at all, not even at cold start), changed oil, spark plugs and wires. Lowered a little more and I'm happy.
  4. I have the gas door, getting painted
  5. Any one with a carb breather not in used for sale or any idea on an aftermarket breather? Thanks
  6. Oil smell like fuel... now I know where all my fuel went last weekend :'(
  7. Thanks Mike, I'll return the coil and I'll get a good fuel filter. Can't wait to have her running again.
  8. Painted running lights????? lol... is plasti dip, It can be remove anytime As far as your "carb" issue, webers are pretty solid, have you checked the timing? These motors are under constant timing-chain tension, and a lot of the time indications of a "shitty, mis-adjusted carb" are actually symptoms of of a stretched timing chain. I know somewhere on here there's a tech article on how to adjust for timing chain stretch, just don't know where. Good luck! Thanks, I'll check the timing
  9. Waiting carb, changing oil, plugs, wire and coil. Anything else you guys think I should do or recommend?
  10. The truck would be that Datsun blue again, thats the goal. Is more like a black bronze now, till I can afford a real paint job (the plasti dip will protect what is left of truck) this truck didn't have any bad rust, just surface rust and I took care of that. I just ordered a rebuild Hitachi from national and a order "weber" from redline. I'm making sure is a real one
  11. Thanks DatDoug! But is just Plasti Dip till I can afford and original Datsun paint job ;-)
  12. Could my weber carb be one of the knock-off? I'm looking at my carb and is identified with a Weber sticker. Doing some research online and found this Maybe that's why it won't take adjustment and is acting up!
