Been forever, time is at a premium lately, but still plugging along. Hopefully Cab is painted before this winter. Fuel lines Custom Driveshaft Fuse panel/Power Junction

Thanks Mike, was looking for ideas before I head back over.

I start it and it seems to idle for 3 or 4 seconds then starts to rev high, maybe ten seconds later it stumbles and dies. This is w/o touching the gas. He has no tach so I'm not 100% on how high its revving. I think he said he pulled the air cleaner off to remove the valve cover, but not the carb. I'll check on o2 sensor, did they have them on carbed z24? I guess the clutch needs bled, so it can't be driven currently.

That's my second guess, only had an hour today. So I figured I'd check what most people get wrong when doing the chain, the pump. He's what I would consider competent, so I'm hoping he got the chain right. I'll start with vacuum lines Friday.

I have a friend that replaced his timing chain on a 85 720, and it was backfiring, it also surges and dies. I went over and checked that the oil pump was positioned correctly, it wasn't, and corrected that. It no longer backfires, but still surges and dies. Is this typical with a chain that was set incorrectly, I did not want break into the motor today so I didn't check into it.

Is that a stock blue? Looks unfamiliar to me.

Finally got it all covered with epoxy at least.

"The 1600 pickup was Datsun's attempt at competing with Ford's F-150 half-ton pickup." Datsun was so ahead of their time they came out with a truck to compete with the F150 a decade before Ford.

NOS is hooked up now right?

http://easternbeaver.com/Main/main.htmlis also a good resource, as they offer the ability to get specific connectors, rather than a preassembled kit.

Thank You, and for anyone that might come across this its 3M 08864. I'd recommend 3 bottles. I did 2 but an extra bottle would allow you to be more liberal with it.

And the undercoating done

Sandblasting took way longer then I thought it would, but finally covered in epoxy. Gonna give it a couple days to cure and then do rubberized undercoating.

Was gonna try to do a flip down plate one, but with the angle the tank spout is, didn't think it was gonna work well. Besides the 620 is for hauling stuff.

Looks like its working again. A WIP pic.
