Re: Datsun 260c
Hi guys.Today i welded and fitted my 2.5 inch exhaust today.I am pleased with the outcome.A lot of you will think a 2.5 inch exhaust is too big for a NA 2.8L six.But this motor will not be in the car long as i will be building a 3.1L stoker for it some time next year.The rear muffler is very easy to take off as i may want to run a Boso style tip on it some time.I just need to weld the pipes above the diff which will pull the rear muffler straight.I also need to buy a fuel regulator before i can start her.

Re: Datsun 260c
Been busy today,striped the two front guards and boot to bare steel and painted them with a 2pac resin type paint.Bought a Holley 1 to 4psi Fuel Pressure Regulator and fuel pressure gauge.Tryed firing her over still won't start.I am so stumped.Timing is spot on,good spark.Any one have any ideas? I am using the mechanical factory fuel pump i know its not ideal but it should still start the motor.

Re: Datsun 260c
Hey dude - you may have installed the oil pump 180 degrees out - and you will have to drop the oil pump etc and turn it round - this will turn the d around that the dizzy sits in 180 degrees aswell.
Theres a vid on you tube about l series engine rebuilding that shows it.
Double check plug leads are in correct order as i find with these just 2 leads around the wrong way and they dont even fire up on 4.

Re: Datsun 260c
So another busy day again fixed the headers as the steering rods were hiting them.

Re: Datsun 260c
Good job, doesn't sound like it's running on 6 though. What was the problem with it not starting?
