Does anyone have a brand and part number that they use for points in their 320's.

Mine is a 65 L320 with the E1 1199cc engine.    I can't find any .  HELP !!!!!!!!!!

OhioL320, I just checked thr Rock Auto website, and for 1965, they list the 520 Pick-up with a J13 engine. Under the 410 and 411 they show a 1229CC, 75CI (E1) engine, and they show several brands of point sets. Look under rockauto.com. John

OhioL320, I failed to mention that everything for Datsun is listed under Nissan. John

Thanks for the info John -  I sort of already went that route except at my local auto parts store instead of Rock Auto.  I checked out Rock Auto's site as you suggested and it seems that all these places have points for the 410-411  -520s etc. but for some reason they are different than what is in my truck.   After posting I did locate a place that has what I need even though it doesn't say its for a 65 L320.  My distributor is a Hitachi D460-1.

Check out this linK.  http://www.collectorsautosupply.com/ASIAN.pdf The first set of points pictured #CS352 look exactly like what I have in my truck.

The third picture #CS351 is what I got from the local auto parts store, the same design that Rock Auto is selling and everyone else for several Datsun's all through the 60s and 70s.   But it is the wrong design for mine.   I must have an odd ball one or something.  Anyway I ordered some fromhttp://www.collectorsautosupply.com/ASIAN.pdf

I'd like to change over to electronic like with a Petronix or something but now I'm a little gun shy that what they would send me, wouldn't fit my distributor either.

Thanks for the reply John.

OhioL320, I looked at the Collector site that you suggested; I used one of the numbers from the points that look like yours, and typed in WA164 on the Advance Auto website, and your point set came up for $6.99. You might also try the CS352 number. John

Yeah,  I already did that.  The WA164 number comes up with a different set of points according to the picture Advance has associated with the number.   One of my son's works at an advance out of state and it going to try to find out if the picture and number are correct.  

 Advance has nothing on the CS325 either,  or at least it doesn't come up as contact points.
