Alright so I got a new job so I have extra cash laying around now. I want to replace all my vacuum lines under the hood and was wondering what sizes of lines do I need? And the lengths of each line? I have a 1985 nissan 720 with the 2.4

A weber is definitely in the future. Went and picked up a variety of vac caps so I'll eliminate one by one to make sure she still runs ok without them, besides there are no emission tests in fl so no real need for them (besides one?) if I understand correctly. I just want to it to rely on fuel, air, and spark to keep things simple until I start putting my dream into reality.

Most of the vac lines are dry-rotted to hell and back. I'll probably go to the auto parts store tomorrow and buy enough to replace all of them in one go. I will also take a look at the back of the carb and see if any wires are disconnected/broken. Money is a tad right at the moment so I'm trying to do a budget job right now if that makes sense. Buy only what I need and work on the rest myself to save money

I figured it was the choke but wasn't %100. It just stays open no matter what though. And I want to leave it as stock as possible until I do the engine swap and what not but I need it to run right when it warms up. It almost wants to stall out anytime I push the clutch in or come to a stop. It runs beautiful when it's cold but once the engine heats up it starts going downhill :/

this is coming out really nice my man. I like the idea of the crown royal bag as the shift boot. i have a few lying around here so i might just do the same

i was thinking about that. I definitely want to keep a nissan motor in it, so no 350's or anything. im not too worried about gas mileage once i do the engine swap, its gonna be a nice track toy and weekend fun car

and yeah there was quite a few homemade solutions in this truck lol.some understandable and others downright bewildering.

took off the intake and found that this flap is stuck open. seems as if the spring is completely worn out and useless. i started the truck up and gave it some gas and the flap doesnt move at all. im not sure if that is supposed to happen or not. nor do i know if its one of the reasons my truck runs rough when warmed up

I'm not much of a mechanic lol, The last owner said there was none but as you cant tell from the condition of everything, neither was he.

How's it going everyone. just dropping in to show ya'll my 1985 Nissan 720. i plan on doing a engine swap eventually, among completely restoring her to her former glory. i absolutely love this truck. no power steering, no power brakes, no A/C, no radio, runs rough when she gets warmed up but i believe that is due either to the carb or vacuum lines. i want to do the vacuum line elimination here in the next few days, im trying to make this truck as basic as possible. shes has some rust but nothing really really bad yet. Yes you're reading that correct, 352,000 on the original motor. never been rebuilt or anything. Random wires hanging from underneath the dash from the previous owner. Could use new door panels eventually but these are serving a purpose for now. messy messy messy z24. cant make out much of anything.
