1979 210 wagon - Colorado

Posted on: 2006/6/27 3:42
Well, after doing battle with my wife for the last month, my 79 210 wagon is up for sale.
It has a lot going for it, but I am brutally honest in going through and looking for anything and everything that I can find wrong with the car. At any rate, the car is a cool daily driver with so much potential. I am trying to get my money back, and so the price is $1600. I put some pics up in the gallery, but I can take pics of anything you want, or better yet, if you are local swing by and take a look. The car runs good. I would say the body is about an 8 and the interior is probably a 6 or 7. I really wanted a project car, but right now with another little one on the way, I really could use the money.

So I wouldn't have to replace the whole dash... I assume the HVAC controls. You are referring to the wiring harness for that, right? Time to make the rounds at the U-pull-it again. I'll def. check out other years/models too.

It's too hot inside my 210!

Okay, after doing some searching, I still need a little help. How difficult would it be to retrofit AC into my 79 210 assuming I could find the parts to do it? If it's going to be a big PITA, I might have to look at selling it. My poor little girl is cooking in the back. Kind of makes me wonder how I made it as a kid. My folks didn't have a car with AC until a year ago...

Mildman, thanks for taking all the time to do this. With the exception of my steering wheel being on the wrong side, I hope it will be invaluable in helping me work on my car.

Found another AWD option: Nissan Bluebird
AWD SR20DET. Don't know anything about the importer, but his prices look good. Thanks for the diagram on the fuel system. Looks pretty straightforward. Gives me a bit more confidence in going forward. Adding parts to my list right now.

As for your gas tank. I had an M10 Nissan Prairie (Stanza wagon in the US) which I put a CA18ET into and retained the stock tank and converted to EFI. I used a low pressure electric pump to move fuel from the tank to a small surg tank I made which was mounted under the floor. A high pressure EFI pump was fed from this and the fuel from the fuel rail returned to it. Think of the system as two circuits. the low pressure side circulates fuel from the main tank to the surge tank and back again and the high pressure, from the surge tank to the engine and back to to surge tank. With flat underfloor tanks you are likely to get fuel stavation when cornering so a surge tank is a good idea. I made mane from a piece of flat plate, the top of a 4" disposible welding gas cylinder and some carburettor pipe unions. I probably still have pictures of it somewhere. That's awesome. I think I saw you had postes some info about that regarding a supercharged 1200. I found a surge tank on Ebay for $48 USD that holds almost .5 gallon. Now that I'm starting to understand it, it's really perfect. For some reason I thought it would hold just a few ounces and run out quickly. Oh well, I'm learning. Any pics you can throw up would be really appreciated. I learn visually very quickly. Thanks for the input.

Right on. Good luck, and make sure to document things really well for other to see.

Speaking of gas tanks- After some searching and reading, It seems like I can keep my factory tank, but I'm not sure if it will require any modifications with the high pressure fuel injection setup I would need with the CA18DET. Can someone help point me in the right direction? If I didn't have a wagon, I would be fine with putting a new fuel cell in the trunk, but I have reservations about putting it behind the back seat of the wagon. Help?
