Thank you. It is an L motor and the truck only has 25K miles on it. It's 100% stock and has been sitting a long long time. A Petronix was purchased and installed but did not run well. Know what we discovered? The centrifigal advance in the distributor was not working. it was frozen up. After the distributor was removed, disassembled, cleaned, and lubed it ran fine. All this after we had to rebuild the carb cause the float was stuck and secondary would not open. Moral of the story. You cannot expect a datsun that has been sitting over 10 years and is seldom driven to run normal.
