auto bell housings are not rare

* T50 5-speed + Dellow kit = $1100
* T5 5-speed + auto bell + adapter = $700

Aren't auto bellhousings harder to find than T50's ?

Radiator fits nicely and is working. I ordered a new fan thermostat plug for the radiator. The current one was 95c - 85c which allowed the temperature to raise up a little bit. I ordered a Fiat plug out of England that is 90c - 80c. Should keep the temperature down. I do still have a fan "ON" override switch.

Well another reason to justify my years of promoting
the T5 world class gearbox over all Nissan units

Its really beautiful, now you A series diehards
need a thin adaptor plate for an Auto bellhousing
to fit the T5 4 bolt pattern

No, it's not oil for your 426 Hemi. Nissan's own brand of oil was 'Elephant' brand, why it's name that who can tell

You may have noticed the elephant on your Datsun 1000 oil cap



Or on your Datsun 710




Turns out there were many formulas of Elephant oil, including gold top, green top, and red white & blue. Here's a card that was included with B110 documentation in the Service Dial folder

The mark is on the outside of the carb, no need to remove the glass. However it's marked in permanent ink so it may or may not be readable after 30 years

Hey guys

What’s a 72 1200 Ute worth these days?
Hard to tell when there isn’t a lot for sale and the prices vary so much, then it’s hard to know what they are actually selling for aswell.

Mines got an a14, Weber 32/36, 120y struts with disks, a 3.9 which isn’t fitted yet but I know they’re sought after, pristine dash pad with excellent un-molested coupe dash and tachometer, retrimmed seats, pretty nice paint but a couple minor rust bubbles, restored rays volk mesh wheels.

Basically it’s not a fresh rebuild with an engineered CA, but it’s not a piece of #OOPS# either. I know there’s some experts on here so wondering what some opinions are. I’m considering selling to fund my 520 and 521 builds as they’re a little bigger and a little older and a little more interesting.

Move or delete if this isn’t the right place for this post, I didn’t think it would be suited to classifieds.

hi dd, thank you for your response I got this pic. from this forum but I have the same carb I will upload a original one later. yes it's looks like DCZ 306 I couldn't see the id mark because didn't remove the sight glass.

I mean the one in front not the accelerate pump.
