Update:

I have another dizzy, and will have her running again next week (Waiting on a mate to come over when hes free... for the box of beers involved )
What you Guys think?

My mate Andrew (Who owns a blue 180b sss ) has told me that i should get an electronic ignition/dizzy?

What do you guys think? or
How much would i be looking to pay for one?
And does anyone have a spare setup their willing to part with...?

Electronic always over points.

Do you know of any up for grabs?

No, apparently you can adapt e15 electronic dizzys to suit.
Ive got the internals from an e15 elec dizzy which would be worth fitting into a e-series points dizzy.

Hmmm... Sounds like looking into.

But where should i start?

imo if you plan on turning her RB or SR i wouldnt worry too much about elec ign at the mo

I vote plan B aswell of course

I think your right Alex, Ive done some research (Mainly through the 910 fourms from Oz)
and they say that the whole sub-frame, struts etc out of a s13, with minor mods and switching the top hats over,
will fit nicely into the front of Annie.
So that will give me better brakes, better handling and a cross member to suit an SR!

All i will need to do is upgrade the rear brakes and a tunnel loop to get cert...

I need to get the rust out first tho. Its not major, but it will be if i leave it too long.
Its just around the tail lights (The usual spot im told) and at the bottom of the left front guard
(I'd say from dirt etc getting inside the inner guard) Ive got it all priced up by an ex old school panel beater for $300.
I think thats a good price considering he's going to cut out the rust and make and weld in new metal

With the SR i am wanting to keep the interior as original as possible (For the sleeper look)
so i'm just wondering if i can modify the factory dash to have the speedo, rpm etc looking stock,
but working mint with Her new heart...

Any ideas or thoughts are more than welcome

Well thanks to my mate Tony Annie is alive again!
Admittedly she needs a fair bit of tuning... But to have her running again is awesome!

He beleives that my issue with her not reving past 4k could be the ballast resistor?
Its ment to be 1.6 Ohms, according to the Genuine Nissan/Datsun workshop manual that came with her,
But its around 2 Ohms when i tested it...

What does the engine do when it hits 4000? Does it just refuse to rev higher? Does it splutter and cut out? Or start to missfire?
