Next time I am junk yard hunting, I'll keep an eye out for one of those control units! Also since the Honda used an electric fuel pump for the carb, probably a good unit to snatch as a spare. I've s

Only time I ever managed to shear a roll pin in the transmission was using the aluminum shift bushings! The roll pin is what holds the shift fork to the rod. Little 50 cent item, but a pain to get o

Thanks for the memory jog on the piston pin offset. I was trying to figure out how to "measure" if there is an offset to the pins without any machinist tools. Only thing I can think of is to slide a

All too common. Stock size for those little plates is 1/4" x 24tpi (fine pitch). Yes, ALMOST the size of 6mm x 1.00. If the bolt head was 10mm (3/8") someone got metric bolts in there. If it was 11m

Yes. The Datsun steering wheel spines are the same. Unique to Datsun, but interchangeable between models (roadster, Z, 510's, etc). Two things to check for: The little pegs that cancel the turn sign

The 35# spec is wrong. Which book is that? That was the original L16 (1600 motor) spec, which lead to blown head gaskets right and left. ;-( I've posted a list of torque values. Handy reference to k

One problem with the "rebuilt" heads is there are times when you can not see what needs to be inspected. I have seen NEW U20 heads with casting pockets that were covered by the valve seats. Not all

The air injector thread size is 14mm x 1.5mm. This is true for both 1600 and 2000 air injection plug threads. I do NOT recommend running a tap into the head, as it is too easy to remove what little

How old is the distributor cap/rotor? Good possibility the higher energy of the coil arced across the distributor terminals on the inside of the cap. Once arced, it will tend to fuse a carbon trail.

No assumptions on my part. Yep, just things to make it easier to put everything together. I'd say "go for it". The easiest way to get something up and running on the U20 roadster is to use a donor s
