So after about 6 months of trying to pickup my neighbors old datsun work truck . I finally have picked it up . $250.00 cash sounded like a great deal . Flushed the fluids drained the gas tank changed some fuel lines and fuel filter fired it up drove around the block . I then proceed to tune it up fix some frayed wiring , new starter , battery . Won't start no spark I tear my hair out going through all the wiring double checking everything I did . Meanwhile go to the DMV to change the title and register the truck . It hadn't been paid since '03 with penalties it came out to $470.00 . Plus its one year from being smog exempt which the lady at DMV declared after her amazement of changing the title on a 77 datsun . Changed Reluctor , pickup , contacter , transistor , coil , ignition switch , battery terminals . Adjusted the timing checked the gaps fires right up now . $1200.00 for a 4 cylinder truck with little body damage or rust 100,000 miles shifts fine just needs a muffler cause it likes to backfire between gears . Figuring out how that distubutor works and how to adjust it was the hardest part .
Next will be cranking down those torsion bars , lowering blocks , painted steel wheels , white trash whitewalls , flat black paint and some more miles on the odometer .
