I'd think an electric pump continually running fuel through but you need to sure it's an open flowing system. The return to the tank should be open allowing fuel to flow non stop. Fuel is cooling when it flows freely. You say manifold heat? Have you thought of replacing that cast iron heat holding exhaust manifold with a low heat ceramic header? You'd need to research this but maybe get the OE manifold coated with ceramic. On second thought a MSA ceramic header would be easy and similar cost as removing the OE and having it coared. I've got them on mine and they do a fantastic job dissipating heat. My carbs are cool when I touch them. The reason I'm on California Datsun is simple. He does half arse work and charges top dollar. Your coolant passages could be clogged up with years of calcium deposits. I've rebuilt 2 motors and those were all clogged up. The casting plugs come out before the block gets vatted, if it did get vatted before the rebuild.

Yeah thats a aluminium radiator.. i always drive over them and throw them as far away as i can! What you need is a radiator with a copper core. What is that with you guys and aluminum (Yeah, i left out the i... 😉 ) radiators? they suck! Yes i know copper is expensive but it cools way better! take a 10" strip of aluminium and one of copper. (same thickness and width) hold them in your hand, i take the aluminium one.. and we hold a lighter under the end of it and look who can hold on to the piece of metal the longest! haha.. (more safe to do this in a vice and measure with a infrared thermometer 😉 )

He's got a California Datsun motor and that guy rips off his next door neighbors so I'm going out on a limb here but selling something to a guy in Panama is awfully suspect to me. I've been on here for at least 10 years and Alex has always had problems with his car. He had found an experienced Datsun mechanic 6 months ago maybe? but apparently that relationship was short. I'm carrying on a 3rd person conversation here because he doesn't do what we say that could help HIM. Anyway, God helps those who help themselves so maybe prayer is our or way of helping?

If I was you I'd buy an infared no contact thermometer and check the temperature of different areas of your car. I do not think you have percolation issues with the fuel. I do not think heat is causing your ill running car. It gets hot where I live too and my car runs fine. Did you ever get a coolant temperature with it idling and the thermostat open? You could get readings from the carbs, the cylinder head and the block, the coil, radiator etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07WZXK6PT/ref=sspa_mw_detail_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams

You guys make me feel like a neophyte. My first computer was a Pentium II hand me down. My stepdaughter bought it used from Boeing surplus (back then Dell didn’t have the contract). She fiddled with it, then gave it to her brother to use for recording music for his garage band. It didn’t meet his needs, so he bought a new one, and asked if I wanted it. I said sure, he brought it over and I stuck it in the corner. Mrs. Racer 2.0 pestered me to do something with it or get rid of it. So one day I set it up, and turned it on. Then there were a bazillion calls, first to the boy, then his sister. Eventually I got it running, then got online with one of the free internet access services, with a 28.8k telephone modem. That was 1998. It didn’t take long and I upgraded to a 56k modem, then cable through my TV cable company. At first it was I the one calling the kids for help. But it didn’t take long before I was upgrading the processor and memory, then building a new computer from scratch. I bought a seat of AutoCAD, and Photoshop. Then it was the kids calling me for help with their computers. Since then I have built five machines, two with dual head video cards, one for CAD work, one for photography work. One of the single display machines I use for digitizing my vinyl record collection. A friend said my computer room looks like a display at Best Buy.

The cracking is probably caused by bad paint formulation or the paint was applied too thick with not enough time between coats. Given the overall quality of the repairs, it was fixed on the cheap and in a hurry.

Seems obvious that it got crunched in the front, just by the pictures. The seller is not the owner, it's a sales shop. The guy has to know but he can claim he does not. His "techs" did the work, not him. Plausible deniability. It got to $20,550 but RNM. Does Nissan paint do this, even on a 71? The roof should look the same. It's been crunched and repaired.

It was resting that evening.

He put on what looked like pep boys stuff with the screw clamps. If it was earls or russel with correct fittings I would leave them on.

I don't have the skills like Grannyknot does but I did see the short rain channel problem way back when so now I always pop the hatch and dry that area after washing or the rare rained on times. I actually open the hood, hatch and both doors and blow the whole car off with my backpack blower before towel drying. Have you read about the cowl drain behind the passenger's front tire?

My photography processing computer, after left foot rework a few years ago. The PC tower on the left is the one for my music processing.

Ok, that's awesome. I may have to do this on my project.

The reason that a lot of Z's rust out in that area is because the rain gutter ends too soon and dumps water right on to that spot and that spot also slopes back in toward the car so the water just sits in a pool until it evaporates. I started adding an extension on to the rain gutters to remove the water completely.
