The thingamabob at 13:45 is the Automatic Temperature Control air cleaner. It was super advanced for its time, it actually maintained a constant inlet air temperature so the vehicle would run better under all conditions. And prevent carb icing. When floored it would allow cold air to enter for maximim power. Again, super advanced for the time as most carbureted engines of that time only used the heat stove when the engine was cold and warming up. Nissans setup maintained approximately 100 degrees intake air temperature at all times. Also, im pretty sure you've already figured it out but you can switch the fuel inlet barb to the side facing you valve cover so you wont have to loop a fuel hose.

The DCH-328 refers to the carburetor size, yours is the "smaller" one. The bigger DCH-340 was used on the l20b engines (among others) and ive read that carb flows similar to the Weber 32/36

Just for reference you dont need to remove thr air cleaner lid to remove the air cleaner on a Datsun. Just loosen the clamp wingnut clamp on the side and the whole assembly comes off. Wish all carburetor cars had the Datsun air cleaner setup :)

Starting to look good!

Love it. :))

Looks like the fuel pump connector pins are getting warm/overheating. Thats usually caused by one or two things, either there is more current being drawn than the connector is rated for, or the connections are not tight. Judging from the larger wire size from the pump itself, the pump draws more current than the smaller wires and connector pins are capable of conducting, causing them to heat up and over time the metal becomes discolored and less conductive, causing more heat, and the plastic begins to burn and melt. You could go to a larger connector with bigger pins to handle the current draw of the pump. Or, it looks like you have some extra pins there that aren't being used for anything. You could use those extra unused pins, add one to each side/wire. That would provide an additional current path, cutting the current drawn thru each connector pin roughly in half. That would probably be all you would need to eliminate that problem....it may help your noise situation a little if you can extend your tailpipes out the back a little, getting them out from beneath the car a few inches...just a thought. Hope this helps, you really have come a long way with the old Dodge!

couldn't you just reverse the wire to get it to read correctly?

i have got a Datsun magnet too. not the one you got but i think its a 620? maybe its the same as your truck..

I guess if you don't have good brakes, you Better have a good horn!! Haha I want a ride in your 56 Dodge! Take us along.

👍

Check balls.. where did they go?

I dont understand cars but i like watching Guys work on stuff :D

Replace that radio rn. Get some vintage looking one holy shit that looks so bad.

New subscriber here. I love finding new channels like this where you're still finding your feet and learning how to create interesting content. I think you're doing great, so keep up the good work 👍

Gee, I thought that looks like it's filmed around Ocean Shores, Washington, USA and then I read the signage and lo and behold it's Nova Scotia! Nice! Great video! Great 4runner! p/s: How many miles/kms on that?

Good job! Keep up the good work!!

Yes, Magnum engine are notorious for the plenum gasket failing. With everything else you did, looks and sounds like you got it got running and sounding great - and even took it to prom! Good stuff - I commend your hard work and dedication to keep your classic Dodge on the road. Happy belated Birthday and get well - keep those videos coming!

They do far better than that on the highway if you aren’t going 80+. If you’re only getting 7-8 mpg there is something wrong.

Definitely a beauty. Not like engines nowadays that have tons of wiring and hoses going everywhere.

Replace radiator shroud now. Save engine. Shroud made of plastic, from GM, has been cracked. Cause engine failure.

Apparently the suspension is the same from the 86-89 first gen 4Runners. My 86 is at the mechanic now getting a “new” front end from a 94.

You’re right, that’s a beautiful 2nd gen 4runner!

I like the color really fits the 4runner

is the oil control ring on the piston is packed with carbon & goop? I can't tell for sure, from what you showed, but it looks black & smooth.

I like the backwards fuel tank...i know it is 'backwards', and I don't like things wrong... so i blame everyone who installed one previously, and shaped my memory. They were wrong. what program did you use to stitch these video together (ie: "the next day" @2:49)?

yea 🤮

How come your fuel tank was on backwards is the fuel tap getting in the way ?

👍👍👍👍

Love how enthused you are over this 20 year old stereo! 1956 car, 1956 music. I like your taste!

Beautiful! I had a 1975 Datsun pickup for 22 years before it was stolen in Phoenix in 1999. Love these trucks!

Hmm, now my first comment has disappeared, maybe because it had URL links in it? Anyway, the gist of that comment was that Steele Rubber sells new vent window weatherstrips for your car, for both the front door and rear door vent windows. They are kinda pricey though. 🙂 Good job on getting your car sealed up, and getting the interior looking good!

Sorry for leaving two comments, but for some reason I couldn't edit the first one to add more! Your method of sealing the vent windows was much cheaper than buying new weatherstrips! You also may want to check into getting an original or reprint of the Factory Shop Manual for your car, it should show you things like how to take the window out, adjust it, etc. Also the Factory Parts Manual is a good thing to have, since it will show the various parts in an 'exploded' view to give you a good feel for how things work and come apart/go back together. Parts manual is also helpful when you need to replace original parts -- many vendors go by the original MoPar part numbers.

I was working on my truck yesterday, i changed out the drivers side door hinge, then after that decided to change out the door as well there was a lot of rust on the bottom of the door.

Great walkaround! I have a weathered 1972 model which is identical to yours apart from colour. Its great for riding round my home town, I love it. Such a comfortable (and so far) reliable bike. I am thinking of putting saddlebags on like yours, they look great!

สมัยนั่นดัทสันใช้เหล็กดีมากๆๆเลยละครับ❤

Such a beauty! Nice video

Keep plugging away at it, you will get it done. What is the blue car sitting next to the Plymouth?

Nice

I'm thinking my V8 Chevy luv might be a bit more of a handle in snow.

Throw about four or five sandbags in the back directly above the rear axle. And it would do even better. Nice truck by the way.

What part of NS are you from?

inch of snow wont be much of a challenge.

ماشآءالله تبارك الله

Beautiful 521

Weight in the trunk does wonders.

Snow tires and sand bags in the trunk would help.

This one beautiful but you got there I got the blue Yamaha QT50 Hopper she is a Butte

Pretty cool just seeing this thing on the road!

Im abt to build my freinds whole bike tomorrow
