60Patrol

Came here to post this rig, but see you beat me to it!

Owner said he also has a red 62 listed for sale!

Oh man, that was ours!! I just made a post looking for it to see if anyone in here bought it. We sold it to a friend and he unexpectedly passed away. I tried to buy it back from his dad but he sold it.

I sold our yellow 1966 Patrol to a friend at work who is a Datsun aficionado, he had quite a collection. He tragically and unexpectedly passed away. His family had to come up from Mexico and deal with all of his belongings, house, car collection, dogs, etc. I finally got a hold of his dad and he let...

No, get rid of the MSD. It doesn't work with the standard coil and there is no need for increased spark amperage. I would certainly suspect that as the source of your coil failure.

On a side note....

What happened to my "Thanks" button? I can't thank anyone for their post anymore?!

Okay, update! Got the carb back together but the (leather maybe?) on the new accelerator pump is tight and does return to position only after a short delay. It's not on the Patrol yet, still on my work bench. Anyone else observe this? I have it soaking in fuel overnight, maybe that's the fix? As alw...

Thanks for the replies! When I get to work tomorrow, (had today off) I will look at it with the information I learned today and see if I can find out what's happening!

Good morning! My 1966 Patrol sat for the winter in the garage (or a little longer!) and when I try to start it it just cranks over and there is a noticeable fuel odor. I looked at the carburetor and I can see fresh fuel coming out of the base of it and running down the outside of intake manifold. I ...
