I have looked online and (Italian-made) 42dcoes seem to command some ridiculous prices. I reckon they're worth $750 (carbs and manifold). They have been sitting in a locker in the carport for a lomg time, and they came off a running but slightly rusty Sunny coupe which I dismantled. I took the shell to a recycling depot -but it was close to 10 years ago! It had an A15 which had been fairly well warmed over, but had a small hole in the top of one of the pistons. I can check out the choke sizes if you're interested.

Thanks DD

For those people who have been waiting patiently for me to get organised enough to take and upload some pics

D'oh - not working and it's past my bedtime. I'll try and fix it tomorrow

You can always crank it over without plugs, it'll get oil pressure up pretty quickly.

KB10 parts sale

After trying all the ways I can think of to sell my complete KB10, I have reluctantly decided to sell it off as parts. Hopefully I will be contributing to keeping other Datsuns on the road, or getting them back on the road.

That means I have a whole car’s worth of parts, as well as a few other spares I have gathered over the years. Everything is for sale.

I’m in Warrandyte, Melbourne. Happy to work with people to post smaller parts. Not really keen on packing up larger parts for freighting or couriering. Fortunately, many parts of a KB10 are pretty small!

A14 engine
Mounts made for the A14 into a 1000
Radiator (holds water and cools the A14 ok)
Twin (flat top) Hitachis with manifold and original airbox (A14T)
60L dogleg 5 speed
Rear gearbox mount made up to fit the dogleg box into the KB10 (will also work with a 1200 b110 and probably a 120Y)
Front disc conversion – b110 discs and calipers grafted onto the 1000 uprights – b110 hubs and discs and adapter plates to mount the calipers. Whole front end cross member is in pretty god condition with reasonably good ball joints, tie rods and cross link
All glass is there and in good useable condition
Front and rear bumpers present, but need re-chroming
Complete bodyshell – some rusty bits – sills, front footwells etc but generally straight and reasonably solid
Taillights
Extractors and 2” exhaust (mandrel bends) will fit b10 and b110
Set of b10 ute rear springs
Plenty more – just ask

Also plenty of other A series parts not specifically KB10, like:
13” alloy wheels – 4 x globes with crappy tyres, 4 x 6 slot jellybeans with 4 excellent 205/60/13 tyres, 13” minilite style alloys fwd offset need spacers for front of b10/b110
14 x 6 mitsubishi alloys 4 x 114.3 (I’ll have to put up a pic don’t know what they’re from)
A15 – completely reconditioned – has been run, but only for about ½ hr. Head has been shaved to give about 10.5:1 comp – was run with a straight LPG setup
A14 claimed to be rebuilt short motor and cylinder head
Twin 42 dcoe webers and oval port manifold

PM me if you're interested in anything and leave me a mobile number

Photos sent

I have a set of 13 x 6 peanut mags with 205/60/13 tyres with plenty of tread. They fitted OK on a 1200 coupe, so I expect they will fit your ute. I'm in Melbourne. Will try and get some photo(s) in the next few days - have to dig them out of the shed. $300

Good pics, will come in handy as I have one that I need to pull apart and inspect. Now I know what to expect. Thanks.

Is the whole transmission the same as a 63A dogleg from a Stanza or a 180B, other than the bell housing (and maybe a longer rear extension housing?) and input shaft?

Is there any way of telling whether it is the close ratio (`3.5:1 1st gear) or the very close ratio (~2.6 1st gear) version?

Is that the air conditioner unit in the passenger footwell?
