hi just wandering if anyone has tips on how to remove a datsun 120y boot floor along with rear panel that has tailights on it.

obviously you cant use electrical tools like angle grinder so how would i go by romoving them as its all spot welded in.

drilling each spot weld would take to long because you then have to seperate the two pieces?

any ideas would be appreciated

also if anyone has a 120y they are wreking with these parts rust free let me no.

Thanks!

recurving a dizzy gives some noticable gains i used a GM hei recurve kit in my points dizzy and it worked well... sort of

i tested the dizzy before the recurve it would get all timing in by very late around over 4000rpm think it was 4400rpm

i then took out the springs and put in the lightest (Gold) springs in both primary and secondary.

this gave quite a differnt feel of the line like more power but the springs are not light enough they fully advance at similar rates around 3900rpm.

the primary side advances significantly faster which gives better bottom end but it needs springs to be lighter for the secondary side so you can get it down to around 2000 or 2400rpm.

anyone got ideas were to get lighter springs or i heard you can weld on the weights to add some weight to it which speeds up the advance but i figured the blob of weld would interfere with the dizzy cam?

If you dont mind me asking what do you grind your welds back with? what kind of disc?

looks very smooth.

Thanks!
