I have a 1972 510 Datsun Station wagon automatic and..I want to replace the original carb with one less complicated and problems...does anyone no if this is possible and where can I but it..please and thank you.
Your best bet on this car is to find a Weber conversion, the carb is simple and bulletproof and will wake that L16 up big time. Usually if you go car specific it comes with the manifold adapter as well.
Start on Webers website, you can either buy direct or they can steer you towards a local distributor. I work for Napa in Utah and we have a local Weber dealer, the kits are usually around $300.00 to $350.00 range, if you need a manifold adapter seperately they are usually around $50.00.
I'll contact NAPA here in Halifax and go from there..I'll keep in touch if that's cool with you....I'm starting to feel better.. I was thinking about selling it and I really want to keep it....thanks so much
I popped a Weber carb on my 80 Prelude along with a header, free flow exhaust, Accel ignition and a hotter cam. That perked up the 75 hp 1751cc stocker nicely. No more shifting back to 4th on the interstate with the air on and it made some cool noises with the K&N filter on top of it. Zero problems with that Weber in the time I owned it(approx 80k miles for me/160k on it when I sold it) and I know the car had over 300k on it when it was "retired."
That's for sure I was about to pack it in and he brought my confidence level back up to +10 = excelent
You will slowly find out there are some great helpful members here. A good place to talk wagons and most anything eles.:2_thumbs_up_-_anima
Sometimes a volkswagen beetle resto parts store like http://www.jbugs.com/store/merchant.mvc? can order yours. Put weber in the search. Redline http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?adpo...nkw=redline+carburetors&_pgn=3&_skc=100&rt=nc
I was on the Weber site would you mind confirming with me that the part # is the correct one to the best of your knowledge Part # WK657 price $289.95.....and does it have everything I'll need to replace the old carb and install the Weber and then back on the road.....
It sure would be a change from getting taking for money from some local guy here in Halifax who charge me over $300.00 to rebuild the original carb and it still does'nt work
Datsun 510's are popular cars to hot rod. They can be turned into fun little sports cars. Find a 510 enthusiasts' site and ask them some questions.
