I ordered an exedy clutch from rock Auto today so. This winter when I get some time I will change it. I ordered the one for the z22 so I'm sure it will be fine

Thanks for the information I will just keep the standard flywheel that's in it and just replace the clutch

Ok thank you for the information I will have to do some more research before I buy anything

I have tried searching for some information on a lightened flywheel for the z22 but only find some info for the z24. My question is can I use a lightened flywheel and clutch from a z24 on a z22? I could get the flywheel that I have machined if I knew the specs to give to the shop. But I would rather use a lightweight one than make my flywheel lighter. I have an 1982 720 z22 with a 5 speed

So do I just let it run until the idle drops below 1000 and then adjust the idle mixture and idle speed screws.

Ya i got it to run. It's idles high tho and if I press the gas a little bit it will higher but if I fully press it looses power and cuts out. If I try to drive it as soon as I let up the clutch it slowly dies and cuts out. I tried adjusting the idle mixture but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. And the idle adjustment screw doesn't seem to do anything either

Haven't had much time to be able to work on my truck since. If I press the gas peddle maybe 10 times the truck will run for maybe a couple of seconds and shut off then. It's the only way I can get it to run. I tried adjusting idle screws but it doesn't make any difference from what I can tell. I have ordered a weber because I'm sure it's the carb that is causing my trouble.

Ya I'm in Saskatchewan canada. The choke is almost fully closed its only slightly open is this right?

Yes it will run briefly if I pour fuel down the carb. I have already timed the crankshaft and camshaft and the distributor because I was unsure if it was right or not so I have everything checked that you have said. If I pump the gas peddle now before trying to start it will also run briefly. I think it's the carb now that is causing it to not start. I'm tempted to just go and order a webber 32/36 or maybe a 38 When I was thinking of getting one earlier the sales guy was trying to talk me into getting a 38 but I'm unsure which one to go for. I don't plan on doing any engine modifications just want it to be a reliable daily

I will try that shortly when I get out to the garage to work on it. I think the compression is good on it I was getting 160 on all 4. My plugs should be good I changed all of them and my spark leads and distributor cap and rotor when I got the truck.

Ya I'm starting to think it's my carb. It's a stock carb I have in it.

OK thanks. I wasn't getting fuel up to the dot in the window in the bowl in the front of my carb so I took checked and blew out the filter going into the carb. I also took out the front cover to be sure the float and the needle were working ok. There seemed to be fuel going up to where it was supposed to be after I did this. I will check the accelerator pump later tonight. It was making a noise as if it was squinting but I couldn't see any fuel being put into the carb. I will check for sure later tonight

Yes there is half a tank of gas in it. I will check the fuel lines just to rule that out. I put a new fuel filter on it not so long ago so I don't think that is my problem. There is a mechanical pump on it and when I remove the fuel line from it to the carb and crank the engine I get a squirt of gas each time the cam pushes on it. It might be weak tho. What fuel pressure should I be getting from it?

I got this datsun earlier in the year and was using it as my daily. it had some problems but i had ironed them out or so i thought. It quit running on me one day just after i started it and i couldnt get it to start again. I had my doubts on it being timed right by the previous owner because when it was running it seemed to me to be lacking power. it was slightly out and the oil pump was out of time also. I have everything timed up now the way i think it should be from all the info iv been searching on this. I have changed all the gaskets on the carb that was on it because a rebuild kit came with it when i bought the truck and i thought it might be the carb that was causing it not to start. it will fire when i spray some carb cleaner down the carb so i know i have spark. I also checked compression on all 4 cylinders and thats good too. iv got another carb too for a z22 and have been trying that and it still wont run unless i put a little gas or carb cleaner down the carb. When i got it I changed all the vacuum lines too so i dont think i could have a vacuum leak. i can get an intake and carb off a z24 and i will be putting that on and trying it if i cant get the z22 one to work. Just thought i would ask here first incase i am missing anything else which could be causing it not to start.

Perfect thank you
