Yes, that is the style I bought. Thanks!! I plan to pull motor anyway to paint the engine bay. So I will remove timing cover and set TDC and fix the marks in cam gear. Its so much easier to install dizzy gear when not in truck.

Is the l24/l26/l28 timing marker the same as the l16? I hope so because I just bought one on ebay. I noticed the l28e is totally different. Thanks Mike!!

Thanks!! Yeah I love shoulder belts, I upgraded my 74 to king cab seats and belts back in the 87. Just installed a weber clone and tried to start it. but with no timing marks on cam or cover. I need to pull cover and set engine at TDC and find a timing marker. I had same issue with my 74. no timing marker on cover😂. I added one to right side on my l18. From what I have read the l16 marker is under the dizzy. I am getting backfires out the exhaust. The dual points is also very interesting with all the sensors on gas pedal and trans. I am going to convert to single points for now. part 4 should be done today on progress.

Thanks! I had a feeling it was something like that. I had the optional one on my 74, I bought from a 76 king cab when I bought its seats and belts. I don't have a glove box. No idea what it was made of. I guess I will make one from sheetmetal. I just bought some tube for the center console/ steering colum support. see part 3.

97 mazda miata. Not done yet. Video coming soon after its done. But its tacked on a crossmember right now.

Nice work!

Thanks Mike. But I have been watching your videos for years. You make some real nice parts/kits! I just got the rack n pinion installed. Looks like it's going to work!! No bump steer! I cycled the suspension. truck still has not rolled yet. Still fighting the front inner bearing. It will go in all the way.

Thanks! I have been following your channel. That 521 you have is nice! I just installed the 620 body mounts and they appear to be perfect for a 521! I don't have the bolts in yet. The center bushing needs a bigger hole is the only issue I have noticed. The cab is now level and not wobbly on the frame!😀

Thanks, I daily my wife's leaf. Drive the frontier twice a week or when she is not home. So you did power steering? I have been searching for examples. cant find any with d21 booster. I made a custom bracket. I want to use OEM heating ac system. I am willing to buy the crimp tool to make changes to OEM hoses if needed. But I noticed on my sons Versa, the whole system is nice and compact. Half the size of a d21 HVAC. my 620 body mounts just arrived!! Hopefully they fit and I can finish the steering this weekend. see part 2 for more details.

Uhaul said that at first online also. But they inspected it and My D40 is rated at 6300lbs, 2wd v6. Trailer is 2300 empty. The surge brakes on these uhaul trailers are awesome. My truck has electric trailer brake controller. Thanks for the ebay find. I am focused on trying to get it on the road for a rolling restoration. Missing, hard fuel line, carb, rear brake hardware, tail lights, body mounts, seat belts. Just some minor things to pass inspection. I only have it titled in my name for now. Now registration without an inspection.

Well my kids moved out, so I finally got the truck I first test drove in 84. I was told to buy a 74 620 because it was newer and automatic. That 74 started my addiction to Nissans. So I found this truck on facebook. First time buying a vehicle on FB. Furthest away vehicle. It was 7hours 40min so I knew it was the one for me. 74 became my lucky number after driving the 74 620 for 5 years. Is it OK to link to youtube? please delete if I violated some rules. I have big plans for the truck. It was in buckets and dissassembled for paint. Been to the junk yard 5 times already collecting parts. plans,. disc brakes on all 4. - some parts collected paint - color picked rack n pinion - started LEAF power steering - done power brakes, dual circuit - done 3 point seat belts . Then drive with stock l16 and do the rest of the upgrades as a rolling restoration. Then net big upgrade will be AC from a newer nissan. d40 or sentra or something. Anyone else do this? This picture was 10 minutes after buying in Kansas at homedepot. zero bolts holding on cab or bed!!!!!!!!! This was the best drive home with any vehicle ever! Even better than my first new truck, the 2018 frontier! It towed like a dream!

I love that cluster. So much better than the 620. Its basically the same as my Armada and Hardbody layout.

Nice build project. I wish I could get my 14yr that motivated. Rebuilding a 95 2wd for him. But he wanted my old SAS 93 D21.

Very cool!!! I want to do a 521 some day....

All my trans I have done clutch jobs on have been the same 24 spline. 88wd21 vg30i, 93d21 vg30e, 85 720 z24, 96 r50 vg33e, 74 l18, 79 280zxL28, 98 d22 ka24. Been using the same alignment tool I bought in th 80s. Now the vg3x output is 24 spine on 4cyl and 30 spline on v6 on all trucks and wagons. At least on all the 4wd models.
