You gotta read this to get the truth. Lyrics People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon 'Cause I get stoned in the morning And get drunk in the afternoon Kinda like my old blue tick hound I like to lay around in the shade And I ain't got no money but I damn sure got it made 'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin' If I cant get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long-haired country boy alone Preacher man talking on T.V. Puttin' down the rock and roll Wants me to send a donation 'Cause he's worried about my soul He said Jesus walked on the water And I know that it's true But sometimes I think that preacherman Would like to do a little walking too But I ain't asking nobody for nothin' If I cant get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long-haired country boy alone A poor girl wants to marry And a rich girl wants to flirt A rich man goes to college And a poor man goes to work A drunkard wants another drink of wine And a politician wants a vote I don't want much of nothin' at all But I will take another toke But I ain't asking nobody for nothin' If I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long-haired country boy alone

To put a period (correct) on this thread I soaked and wiped them with a sponge. Then used Maguire's #7 to revitlize the old paint. The one I did looks good and is still early '70s paint. I didn't want to repaint and have a gold tooth shining when I opened my 52 year old teeth to be seen. I'm happy and the money and time will be put in a box for years but worth it when I sale.

See if you can bend the heat shield a bit to clear the header and yes, ideally you want an air gap between the header and shield. Also, the heat shield is typically the mounting point for the carb return springs.

Sorry, Zed Head, I should have passed the info on. Midwest Transmission Center. They have complete rebuild kits as well as individual parts, synchros, bearings, gaskets, seals, and etc. Midwest Transmission Center, Inc. - Your Transmission, Transfer Case and Differential Drivetrain Experts

Thanks! That is very helpful.

After a long time, mainly due to loads of projects going on all at once (at different stages) my option SP/SP311 (74340-25500) footrest replica is finished. I am pleased. The original footrest option for the 311 would have been a nice addition to the S30 range if Nissan decreed it back in 1969 for production instead of the black painted one.

Well I'm just waiting on the new LED headlights and the recovered dash to arrive before I can finish everything up. Engine is in, gas tank installed, all the brakes done and bled and I reconfigured the exhaust system so there is more ground clearance. @Careless gave me hand getting the glass in the other day, thanks again Raf.

He turns 80 today. Walking the track to help visualize his line.

Stumbled on this youtube channel. Amazing stuff.

I'm installing the LED sequential tails from Easy Performance for the new owner. The kit is very well made and the lights are very brights but there is one major flaw in their design, the microprocessor that allows 7 different modes of sequencing can't tell the difference between you putting the signal on or you hitting the brakes. So you slam on the brakes and the guy tailgating you doesn't see brake lights, he sees the taillights going through an entire sequence, red and amber moving lights first before the brake lights come on, about 1.5-2 second delay before the solid, unblinking brake lights start. Confusing, dangerous and I'm sure probably illegal. The only way to have normal brake lights is to have no sequential signals at all, the very thing you bought the kit for in the first place.
