it has always had an intermittent starting problem, but it used to be related to the carbuerator which has since been rebuilt. i will try what you suggested and see what happens, thanks for the tip
anyone near the ballard bridge area? thats where my truck is im willing to donate a 12 pack of pabst or smoke some doobage with anyone who can come down (preferably in their 81-84 datsun) and take a look at my truck. it would be easiest to compare to another truck to find out why its not running. but maybe someone will see something that im overlooking? thanks yall.
