He was very tired today and none of them like pictures. ;)

So status, we figured out how to hot wire the car since we don't have an engine bay harness currently @SteveJ :)

We have spark and we have fuel but we couldn't get it to fire. Even with Ether...

We have good compression and we have the dizzy on the car on the compression stroke. Although the timing isn't set yet. But rotating it while cranking, we didn't get anything. No bump, no belch, no nothing...

Valve adjustment was done recently

My only idea at this point is that we flooded the engine with all the cranking time to sort the spark and distributors. Any other ideas??

I don't know if this is accurate, but for the L20, this site says the distributor orientation is different than what I would expect.

Thanks for that.

We set the plug #1 position by TDC and the rotor position. So we ended up with that L20 positioning through our methodology by accident

I know I found one in the past but I don't know where.

The rear cargo lamp for the 72 510 wagon 26410-W9600

Does anyone have one or have a link?

It lives!!!!

Temp choke cables

New problem, taller motor means the mechanical throttle linkage won't work

I was wondering if the 240z cable conversion would work @KenFirch

Yeah, I don’t think my 240Z bracket would work since the carb spacing is closer together on the L20. I need to hunt down someone near me with a 510 to prototype a kit.

We cobbled up some wiring and tested the tach. Now we have to figure out how to integrate it. Most 510's didn't have tachometers

So I need some help on the door glass sweeps

I have two seals. A small one

I believe it fits in the channel at the top of the door on the inside of the glass?? Not sure on the orientation

The other is larger

It's fuzzy on one side and I assume it goes on the chrome trims on the outside of the door to sweep the exterior of the glass??

I tried to find any decent pictures online but I couldn't find any

@grannyknot

Maybe somebody has a Dime they could make some pictures for me?

Hmmm. I don't recognize either of those. Are those original Datsun w/s?

No, they are not...

I believe they came from Datsport in Australia who for the longest time was one of the only places to have some of the wagon weatherstripping

Do you have a 510 door or trim with any remnants on it?
