Please, let's all agree (a) to stop discussing this topic on the list, and (b) to add primodonna to our filters so any message from this bogus user doesn't make it to our inboxes.

Probably best to split it up. The head is probably worth as much without the engine as with.

I've already sold my Roadster, SSS 411 sedan and truck. Now it's down to my beloved '66 PL411 sedan. I just listed it on eBay and the reserve is less than what I paid to have the engine rebuilt, let

As my father-in-law would say, "How do it know?" In other words, what's the difference between a head bolt head turning and a nut turning? Granted the bolt itself isn't turning when you use a stud bu

On my long-dormant Datsun, I drained the fuel tank through the fuel gage sender hole, manually pumping a spare mechanical fuel pump. The tank's empty but I think the metal line from the tank to the g

Nah, I think it was that they're pricey and there might be options to do a limited run of new parts for less than NOS.

Though sadly these are metric, not SAE (I asked the seller), I am intrigued by their design - essentially a wheel stud extender with spacer that is designed to keep the extender from unscrewing. Any

I'm not a fan of slotted mags, but to each his/her own. I prefer the mesh style if we're going old school. The Rewind wheels are close - oh so close - but not quite. The offset is wrong (zero in the

Looks like there are 14", 15" and maybe even 16" wheels there that should work. But at $147 to $186 each plus shipping are still quite a bit more than $500. Still not a bad deal though if they'll wor

I bought a car last Friday that hasn't been started since probably 1991. It wasn't prepped in any way; it was just left there to rot. It's complete and the engine turns by hand, but it definitely nee

You can buy adapters but their thickness must be taken into consideration when factoring offset. They'll usually be an inch thick (~ +25mm), and the best offset for a Roadster is around +15mm, so if

The important part is 30204 and 30206. Take those numbers to AutoZone, NAPA, Kragen's, etc., and they should be able to match you up.

I think I've got worn u-joints in one of my Datsuns, plus I've never changed or inspected a u-joint. I bet most if not all of them are 30+ years old. So I bought u-joints at AutoZone (p/n 1-0027) and
