    Cancer sucks! Best wishes and always question the doctors advise!

    I do that a lot. The conversation is always interesting and intelligent and I win all the arguments. What's the down side? Oh yeah, that...
  3. Actually the off center cup is the eccentric that goes against the lever. If the bolt is loose or the cup were to break somehow the pump would quit working. If the pump is working, unhook all the lines from the exit port. Check for flow, add one line back at a time checking for flow. When the flow stops, find the reason, there is the problem...

    Looks good as always

    $17,838, probably a bargain but still a little pricey for me. I can probably come up with cheaper horsepower...
  6. There is an eccentric that runs the fuel pump. Is yours tightened and good. If you take the valve cover off you should be able to see the eccentric pump the fuel pump using a remote starter. Make sure the car won't start or it will make an oily mess.
  7. Jai, before we get you too turned around. Let's try to pinpoint the leak, then we can come up with a good solution....

    I would bend them down flat. I would be surprised if they break. If they do you can add onto them with compression fittings, even make the junction in the tunnel so it doesn't show. You could put a hose on a square cut line. The carb system is running very low pressure, with a good hose clamp it will work fine. You cut flare a bulb in, even better, much over that is unnecessary
  9. Besides if the booster is bad your brakes won't feel any different...
  10. I do not know of a source for the original small diameter brake booster. Maybe someone will chime in with one...that maybe why the one on your car is still there and bad. You can use the other sizes if you can't source one but the bolt patterns may be different or you could ship it to a company that rebuilds brake boosters. Call or email first to make sure they can source the parts.

    I like that Chris! I could make a lot of cool stuff with that...in my spare time.
  12. Stopped watching after the guy ran all over the seller. Seller was near his budget to start with but wanted to rip his head off to line his on pocket. I have no respect for a man like that. They could have both come away in a win-win, oh well...

    I like those. They would look good on the right build. Prices?
  14. How long ago did I mention brake booster???? If the booster is bad the master cylinder is probably leaking too...
  15. Jalexquijano You never answered my question about what happens if you try to rev the engine when sitting in traffic and the idle gets erratic. I still suspect too much fuel pressure or float levels. If it's a needle problem he will have a hard time finding someone to help get it right

    You will find this is the easiest place to move your parts but most people here aren't interested in paying top dollar for parts. If they wanted to that they would already bought what is available on ebay. Even at fairly reasonable prices you aught to be able to get your money back and more. Also I hope you didn't cut the dash harness to get the fusebox out. I have seen those harnesses sell for good money...

    I like the denim jacket idea. Find an embroidery shop and get a big image - Datsun logo, whole car - embroidered on the back
  18. Ahhh... the eye of a professional
  19. Patcon posted a post in a topic in Wanted
    I saw that car on Ebay and almost posted a link. It's a nice looking car with some sensible upgrades
  20. I hate that! Hopefully the wait won't be too long...

    It was a good game. My wife and I are Clemson alumni and our oldest daughter is a freshman at Bama. It was a good game and Bama is a formidable team. The onside kick was the deal breaker but Clemson made little mistakes all night that you can't do against a team of Bama's caliber, sealing the edges, big plays and big kick return. Overall I was glad they represented well and congrats to a very good football team...
  22. True, but my seat of the pants logic goes like this. The tanks holds about 15 gallons at 3 psi can you think of a scenario where you burn all the fuel in the tank in an hour??? If you can't do that then you have enough fuel supply, give or take....
  23. Dave Patten @ Futofab would be another vendor that makes repops...
  24. Put it in the classifieds or on ebay or both. You could pm some of the racers on the site...Jeff, Chuck, John Coffey, etc... if they don't want it, they might know someone who does...
  25. The ratios will determine how the tranny behaves behind any given engine. You won't know the difference if the ratios are similar to a yellow metal used tranny. You are also not likely to flog your newly rebuilt one on the street the way a track tranny is used. If it's a competition tranny sell it and rebuild a more common tranny and use the rest of the cash to work on the car. Win win for everybody...If it has the lower 1st gears it will actually be slower off the line because races cars don't spend much time in 1st gear, racers want close ratios because they can keep the engine in the sweet spot rpm wise. A street car almost never gets driven like this, continuous operation in 4,000-6,000 rpm range or higher
