1966 Patrol has a new owner

Post by Bkippen »

Good afternoon (usa PST)

I have used this site a lot as a research tool and now am happy I can be a part of it.
This is my first Patrol but not my first early Nissan

I just jumped down the rabbit hole and came up with a 66 Patrol. Pictures will be posted once the tow truck shows up with it. In himming and hawing i made a laundry list of necessary parts to get it back on the road. Number 1 being a fuel tank, the truck currently has a plastic fuel cell in the back. I am guessing it will work but I'd rather get the proper steel one with a sender. hopefully somebody has one.

Thanks,

Brian

Welcome to 60Patrol! :happy-jumpeveryone: :happy-wavemulticolor: :happy-bouncymulticolor: Nice to hear you've been making use of the useful information here already. What other Nissans/Datsuns have you had? Be sure to post up pictures soon, we love pictures. :D You can use the 'Wanted' section for your laundry list, and eBay is very helpful at times.

I have started poking at my patrol. I checked the bores... They're quite clean. I let the cylinders sit with MMO for a few days put 12 volts to it and it spun nicely. I poked around here and found the P/N for the forklift fuel pump. I ordered it and 3 days later... Kyosan. A bit of information I am hoping to acquire here. Can someone give me a picture of a dash with an idiots guide to what buttons do? I have a couple WTF are these toggles they I'm sure are Previous owner additions.

Thanks!

Brian
