DARIN 510

Look at the first pics I posted. The white ones.

Unfortunately, I do not have the Vin sticker like you do. Mine is missing because someone had repainted the car at one point. however, my white 510 is made an 11/69, which makes it a 1970. and those hinges are different. they have the smaller arches like all the others. So my assumption is those hinges that are aftermarket are 1970 to 1973 only. From what DatsunMike said, based off of my VIN number from my 69 he assumes that it should be made between April to May based on the number.

Or you could rebuild it if the cylinder is not badly pitted. Nissan still makes rebuild kits. Part number 30611- 10V27 should work for you. I have used this on my 69 510 and it matches it exactly. Part number says otherwise but I have measured and compared myself.

From what I see where I live. There are plenty of parts and Datsuns. I’m in NorCal. SoCal also looks to have a lot.

So I found one hinge that is correct. I e added measurements this time.

I always knew the SSS distributors were the D411s. this site talks about the details and has links for reference. https://datnissparts.com/x-new-l4-sss-single-points-distributor-l13-l14-l16-l18-l20b-22100-u2800-d411-88-replaces-d409-54/

Not sure. Still working on the hood at the moment. For the hinge to have full swing I would have to grind quite a bit. Maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 off. And the hood I assume would still be too close to the cowl

What does the 68 hinge look like ?

Here is some pics of what is going on. Hood was never mounted when I bought the car. Clearly the hinges that came with the car aren’t from this car and are 70-73. Two different hinges both hitting the cowl lip the same way.

Whoever makes all that after market stuff for the 510 repop panels. Just look up 510 hood hinges a ton of sites will pop up

Contact point ? This is two disassembled hinges. With the front pieces laid on top of each other.

Notice the shuttle arch difference

Can anyone tell me if the hood hinges on a 69 are different from the 70 to 73 models? I have worked on mrfiveoneoh 69, 510 and the aftermarket hinges would hit the cowl panel just like how the hinges hit mine. The hinges that came with my car are not from this vehicle and hit the cowl just like the aftermarket ones. Are the 68 hinges the same as the 69 hinges ? I know the 68 hinges are different from the rest. But no one mentions about the 69 specifically. Here the comparison pics from mrfiveoneoh hinges. The dirty ones are the originals from his car.

Noting major going on with the build. Got the motor put together and in the car
