Re: Datsun 610 Vintage Race Car/ "Rat Rod" $3800 Indianapoli

are they going to do a generation clause? in other words even if it's before 89 if it's in the same generation of that particular car

Re: Datsun 610 Vintage Race Car/ "Rat Rod" $3800 Indianapoli

I love the pictures I'm going to steal some of the paint ideas for my 86 accord hatchback, I really wanted that vintage 80's paint style, if I had the cash I would buy that in a heartbeat just for the cool factor, it's really really hard to find surviving Japanese race cars like that. Why did they r...

Re: this may be somewhat off topic but still 510 related

I wish I had known that before I built this linkage, I went to a lot of trouble to make my throttle cable work with the 510 ones, which ironically went in the opposite direction I needed, the roadster ones would have worked without all that trouble :roll:

this may be somewhat off topic but still 510 related

this is going to be an odd post but it involves the SU's from the 510, I have converted my 86 Accord hatchback from a single downdraft carb to the two SU's from the 510 SSS, I'm getting close to having everything done now, and it's coming down to having the carbs overhauled. The doctor also says I s...

Re: SU "tuna can" flat top carbs

i'll post some pictures a little later,i just chucked the pieces in the lathe and cut the radius close using a tool I ground, then today i chucked them up and ran them at high speed in the lathe, at the same time they were turning, I used a die grinder with a one inch flap wheel to round out the rad...

Re: SU "tuna can" flat top carbs

was wondering about the fuel bowls, they are supposed to sit level correct? I will probably have to make my own indexers for them,since my manifold isn't at a standard angle, but i was wondering if they were supposed to be at a certain angle. 8)

Re: SU "tuna can" flat top carbs

6500 redline,but you run out of torque before that, not sure with the delta cam yet, i'm going to order a grind for more low rpm torque vs torque at redline, i built this thing with long runners for torque not high rpm power, going to order the stuff you said, i'm taking the advice of everyone here,...

Re: SU "tuna can" flat top carbs

Ok here's a picture, you can also see the spring plate,which replaces the springs on the heat shield,it's not needed in my application at all. and the back of the bar that pulls the choke cables together, they aren't hooked up at the second. normally they are round head cap screws that hold the piec...
