OH! nice setup... but, if you're stripping it down to the frame, you really should find a 1978-79 Datsun 620 frame. You'll have factory front disc brakes. |

 Dude!, WASSUP! When I started this rebuild, I went to your old page and gleaned a ton of info! It's cool to hear from a such a respected Dat. enthusiast! AS for the frame....There aren't many choices in the matter in the state of Hawaii, let alone Maui... I was lucky enough to have the spare frame sittng around.

Wow, I see you edited your original post since I posted. You have come a long way. I really like yellow 620's. Yours is in good shape. too bad about the front end collision. True, in your case I guess you take what you can get with the frame. With some of the tools you have there you may be able to do a front disc brake conversion... the hard way. Or at least the way that takes some skill with the welder. Anyway, very good work. That is truely a show truck. Frame up restorations are beautiful. |

I thought that was in Hawaii.
My Dad is from Hana Maui. The Perry Family I think your on the 510realm site. Ps get the stock fuel pump(t think that a Black stone one .They are Ok but dont look stock. Mr Auto-parts.com has them for 35$ Looks official Datsun Look like you have a Unilite. I hear bad things about them but make sure you use the stock Ballast resistor with those 1.6 ohm. I think you will need it. Alot of people burn them up. But maybe cause of the No ballast look it up in the mallory site if in ? |

Eh, howzit?! When we tried to start the motor, I didn't have spark, so I opted for the stock matchbox distributor I had in the toolbox. I remember seeing you on the 510 realm forum talking about the unstability of the Unilite, so I feel more comfortable in using the stock distb.The fuel pump is the oem L20b mech. fuel pump, I like it better than using an outboard elec. one. kden brah...........

Then again I'm only assuming that the fuel pump is the stock one, how can I tell?

That's not an OEM pump in the pics; it's an aftermarket one. OEM ones are cast aluminum and the 2 halves are put together with screws, as is the top. Aftermarket ones are stamped steel with "towers" on top for plunger-type pumps (OEM are bellows pumps). TRUE original OEM pumps have "Nikki" cast into them; there are a couple other brands of OEM-type but they are getting very hard to find.
Here's my '75 with an aftermarket mech pump (as I got it) 
Here's my beyond-filthy '76 with the stock OEM pump (it's an L18 pump though) 
Here's a good look at a stock pump:
