He's getting the P90 head off the turbo motor and putting it on top of the F54 with flat tops he already has, I believe. Should be about the same as a N42 head but with a drilled cam and the peanut shaped combustion chamber.

Is it a P90 or a P90A? The P90A will or should have hydraulic lifters which won't not need adjustment like all the other heads do.Be sure and get the turbos ECU, THEY'RE different. I can't remember which head you have now, MN47? The P90S have square exhaust ports. You're doing what I did, learning by disassmbly of junk yard motors. You will learn these motors whether you like it or not. It's great! Don't you live in an apartment? I do and had to build a 10x12 storage building.

Congratulations! Hest is good.

#611 Wine Red Metallic, nice color.

Are you removing the panels that often? My local Nissan dealership gets me packs of ten for a little more than a dollar each. I've got the p/n if you want it. Steve J found some on ebuy that work pretty good, they're a little tight fitting but they work and fifty cost what Nissan chargers for ten.

Is there a vacuum hose hooked up to the distributor? I'd think the Webers need some attention, there's a lot to getting them run right. That's why I have a set in a box under my bed. Here's something I've read that was very informative in my opinion, http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35221-tripple-weber-jet-sizes-and-adjustment/ post #4 is where the info starts

The original rivets from Nissan are causing you to lose points at shows?

I agree with those sentiments completely. I get one running and see the potential then tear it apart and make it mine.

Wow, great find!

My 9/'76 had the horns mounted to the bumper supports with a ground wire attached to the stud too. Like Chas's photo.

Have you called your local Nissan parts guy? Usually if Courtesy can get it my local guy can too. He'll say "there's some out there, might take a few days though". Those times it comes from Irving, TX. The next day stuff comes from Olive Branch, MS.

Thank you Blue, that's what I've done so far. Now I can quit.

I've got my E88 apart now and cleaning, polishing everything. My cam lobes are nice and smooth just not shiny like I feel like it should be. Sorta dull grey, but smooth as butter. Should I polish them to a shinier finish? Does shiny mean worn? Thanks Cliff

I had a buddy that had lyme disease from a deer tick. Bad deal for sure. He works hard and thought the symptoms were from work. He got in bad shape and then finally went for help. I'm sore all the time too, makes me wonder sometimes. EDIT I assume it was Lymes, honestly don't know. It was a deer tick though, probably fell from a tree limb while he was mowing, according to the doctor.

Hey, there's a guy on here evevery now and again, SBlake. He is a walking encyclopedia on those 510s. Stephen Blake I think. He'll see this thread eventually if you're lucky.

That's what worries me. Snakes are scared too but I don't sneak up on them, I'm loud, so hopefully there won't be any surprises and we can live in peace. If it goes the other way, he'll be in pieces.

Running lights are the what I call parking lights, in between OFF and HEADLIGHTS on the right side stalk switch. Everything but the headlights come on. Are your side marker lights working? Here they are inside the switch on the right side stalk.

Steve I'm curios, what's L? I remember the color code as blue orange green brown slate White red black yellow violet. That's on cat 5 wire which I'm sure has nothing to do with automotive wiring. Teach me something new today.

The drill is a great help. I couldn't use it on the valve stem without removing the cam towers so I took the suction cup off the wooden handle and shoved a 3/8" male air coupler into it and then chucked it up, that works great.

Now I know why there's no acorns in my air filter housings anymore. I think I have a new pet, hopefully it's just a black snake. The head is small and the tip of the tail is long and pointed so I'm pretty sure it's non poisonous. I've had the cover on for so long there's no telling when it slithered out, I just pulled it back yesterday and saw the skin. When I first bought this car I turned the blower on and pieces of a skin blew out. So I'm thinking they like to get into there. I'm making a lot of noise so he'll leave if he is inside.

If it has one, what's the G3 filter look like at the tank?

You are right, it should read FULL when shorted together.

I've got the part number for the O-ring around the sending unit from Nissan. It's like $1.89. I'll dig it out when I get in from work later this morning.
