Hi pple, am looking for a datsun 510 or 160J.
so long as its running and body in good shape.

walala si tusikizane bei ha ha! triple sss 4 carbs??? amazing u running on Mikuni 44's ama its Webber. Whatever they say never touch the carbs ati changin them to single intake never ever. I had my 77 Mitsubishi Celeste messed up a few months ago i had to dispose it off.

Naelewa keep ti safe for the ricdeelets. Am opting for a Datsun cauz i heard the spares are still available how true is that?? any shops where they stock i only heard of east african motors in tao don know any other.

And your mechanic Is he good ama he's the type who just bahatisha stuff and give up after 2 months of restoration. I want to look for someone in advance who i can work on the stuff with and can rebuild and modify the motor and do wiring afresh.

@scar you rebuilding everything? Where do you get ford spares?

Ignition timing information is always available just google it and pass the info to your fundi most of them usually don't know.
Then ensure your Ignition coil,Distributor, lead wires and spark plugs are in good order. Unless there are other issues to do with compression etc the engine should kick well.
