The 510 Realm

This is a broad question and i’m not familiar with this specific engine. I won’t be able to help you i’m sorry. Maybe start your own thread? i just bought a k20a2 for dirt cheap. the head was being rebuilt but im new to building an engine. what should i do when rebuilding an engine? what things shou...

Where did you end up with this? Curious...... I drove it about 30 miles Saturday. Then about 10 miles Sunday. It’s does drive better with the new ignition points. Haven’t put the plugs, wires, rotor in yet. I have came down with a fever yesterday but I will when I get well. BUT the car does not nea...

This is great directions and very much appreciated. I’m going to do this right now but this screw here keeps running itself in and changing the idle. I’m going to put blue locktite on it or a locking nut on it to hold it in position. It has like very low resistance where I can turn it with my finger...

When you say condenser, may capacitor be another name for that?
My model does have a resistor mounted on the fender btw. This is a 72 wagon auto.

Yes that is a ac lol. I had it blowing 38 degrees F at one point. I retrofitted it for R134a. But disconnect it because the clutch pully bearings were making noise. But to your point, I didn’t know the emissions were blocked off with the models with ACs. I will check all that as well thanks is that ...

Alright I just set the timing. I started at the deepest cut with the white paint and went over two notches. See pics. I just took the car out for a 20 minute spin and it ran fine. Hopefully the points and timing was the issue because like I said before, the problem is sporadic. I’ll let the car cool...

I have not seen a six grove pulley in any of my datsun books.... but the majority of L series I have are single pointer with a 6 grove pulley ? 5 tdc 5 10 15 20 set @ 12 to 14 on regular Thank you for checking your books. I will set timing once I get home today. Then I’ll take it out for a spin and...

I guess a way to check would be to take off the valve cover and line up the cam timing lines for tdc and see where the crank lines up at?

Check out how strange this point wore

I selected all three pics the first two times idk what’s going on. I guess i have to upload one at a time

Here are the other two pics. I don’t use forums often, i’m still trying to learn the interface so please excuse my errors

Update. Replaced points. Set points to 0.020 . Ordered new plugs, wires, rotor and cap, coming in the mail. Checked timing. Have confusion that I hope someone can help me with. First two pics I’ll post are of the repair manual. It states in blue that the TDC is all the way to the left. But why is th...

Thank you James! I’m in the city or Azusa, just off the 210 freeway and Azusa Ave. yeah I hope I get this running right. Whenever I’m running it and it’s running fine, and the bogging hits out of nowhere, man it’s such a bummer. I have to put flashers on and takes me forever to pull over to the side...

O shoot here is the attachment

Here is a better angle of that point. Doesn’t look too bad at this point of view. Will still replace them. Also I wasn’t aware of the importance of the plug brand. Thank you I will get the correct ones tomorrow. I must have just went into AutoZone and got the cheapest ones. This was almost 10 years ...
