After more than 3 years of sitting in the garage my dime finally started last night. What a great 510 day present. WOW was it great to hear the rumble of the V-8 again. I had installed an internally regulated alternator, rewired the engine compartment, installed a Pertronix ignitor, and lots of other things. I wasn't sure if I had done everything right but It actually started on the first crank. The float bowl got stuck and was pumping gas all over the place but with a little massaging it got unstuck and the car was running well. I still have a lot to do to actually drive it. ( new starter, exhaust hangers, Hook up the clutch cylinder, redo the brakes, alignment, etc,etc) I am still trying to get it to summit point. ( Maybe) I want to say thanks for all of you that have offered your help and support to me and my dime. A special thanks to Vince Avendano (Yellow 510 Rotary). Without Vince this car would not be running. Thanks to Paolo for all the electrical help. Even a novice like me could use and follow his excellent wiring diagram. I would highly recommend to anyone that owns a dime to buy a wiring diagram from Paolo. The best $15 I ever spent. Well, I have to get back to the dime now so again thanks to all and Happy 510 Day! ENJOY THE RIDE! >> Dave That's excellent and I hope you can get the beast to the Point. That V8 rumble will make Mark jelious and the blood pumpin to get his V8 project finished up. But even if you don't get it to the Point, do come and enjoy the nights and days racing. Lou "8 days people get'm done chop, chop" This message comes to you from the Datsun 510 mailing list.
