We have lots of black snakes, some garter snakes. We also have cotton mouths in the low country, rattlers closer to the mountains and copper heads here. I killed one of those earlier this year. I can deal with them as long as they don't surprise me and I'm not in a crawlspace with them....

I don't know for sure. It has what looks like a 2 barrel down draft, but the choke has been made inoperable by a previous owner. It could probably use a rebuild.

Thanks Philip, Mike had posted that too. I spent a good deal of time there looking around.

Thanks for the links Mike! I spent an hour or so just researching parts numbers. It is interesting everything doesn't show in the diagrams. The actual instrument cluster and gauges don't shown and the quarter window glass and seals aren't there either.

I know I am potentially going to the dark side but my son just turned 15 and we bought him a 1972 510 wagon. It is amazing how rare parts are for these cars. They makes Z's look plentiful and parts look cheap! I know we have sites that shown the part numbers for Z's, does anyone know of a site that would show parts numbers for 510 cars. Would the FAST system show it? I think Courtesy Nissan and I are gonna become good friends. Thanks, Guys "...Luke, I am your father... Nooooooo!!!...

That might be fun for muddin'. Some better bumpers would be good though...

Cliff That looks like a 4-5 footer lots of fun when you aren't expecting it.

I should have know the guy with the really cool carpet clips would have the exact info!!

If there is not a lot of excess movement like the bushing is shot then some would say "no"

I can't tell on the bushing. It looks fine in the picture to me but maybe I am missing something. As for blasting the control arm. Blast them and paint them black or powder coat them black.

I agree totally about not wanting unnecessary dirt and rust inside the system. It just shortens the life expectancy.

Should be "HLS30-02148" Look above the brake booster on the firewall if it is left hand drive. Engraved into the firewall is the VIN number that can be stenciled. Yeah, What "quick draw" said ^^^ Those Texans are fast on the draw...

How did you go about cleaning them up? If I am looking at the picture right the cylinder bore looks pitted.

Front carb was dry? The back carb had fuel? How did you check the lines for blockage? Which lines did you check?

He was a young man. Rest in peace...

Fabulous. congratulations

Take your time and make small welds. The inspection doors are thin and they will "oil can" badly if you feed too much heat into them.

Yeah! Toronto. I love it.

I would recommend you do that before you get much further

Very nice. Well done. Hope your tuning goes well.

Jai Did you check the fuel pressure gauge right after it died? C

I had a Duster as my first high school car. Man they are ugly, slant six, indestructible no matter how hard I tried. Saved for 2 1/2 years to buy my 1st car, a 240z...

It's nice to have on loooooong trips, like Toronto 2016. I just added it to my daughters BMW Z3 for trips back and forth to college...

I had an add on system on my 240z when I was in college about 25 years ago. It helped reduce but not eliminate tickets. There were 2 magnets added on the driveshaft 180 degrees from each other. They were epoxied and wrapped with tape. There was a sensor close by that picked up the magnets rotation like a modern ignition does. When you got to the desired speed you hit the "set" button on the control switch. The under hood cruise control module would then modulate the throttle linkage to maintain the driveshaft speed per the magnet pick up. The brake and clutch had switches that disengaged the system when pressed to prevent runaway acceleration. Worked good at the time but the control was not very elegant. The beaded chains gave adjustment so slack could be removed. The controls looked like this, about 2-3 inches long and an 1" across. Look for this unit inside the car. Trace it from the cruise control module...

What is your power plant? I see the intercooler behind the grill. It is always interesting to look at the list ahead of you. Many of which are much newer and much higher horsepower cars.
