Post up some pictures to help identify what you have.

On the passenger side of the block just beneath the head there are 2 bosses, the one closest to the firewall will be stamped with the type of motor the one in front of it is motor serial #.

Ebay seller Reddat expensive. Get an L20B carb and install it. It will run much better.get the earliest carb you can less smog stuff. Or just get a weber.

I got all my window seals and door gaskets from JC Whitney. Decent prices and good quality. I also got some oddball stuff from ebay with the best prices coming from Bangkok and Yemen. Do an ebay search on datsun 620 and you will get to all the ebay stores. If you look around, you can still pick up just about anything. Stay away from chinese body parts. I bought a couple fenders and a hood from some outfit out west and not one thing fit. I pretty much have to throw the hood away and it took me a week to make the fenders fit sort of. Also, if you need window squeegies inside and outside the ones off of an older toyota will work with a little cutting.
