Datsun Dreaming
Of course. I told everyone I just needed another set of eyes and hands since I was just sick of reaching dead ends.
I'm happy it was something stupid. Stupid is easy, wiring isn't.

Thanks to Chris (Epstein) who stopped by to diagnose my engine issues I found out I'm off one tooth on the distributor and the knock sensor is shot. Adjusted the timing as much as possible and now the car runs pretty much like it used to, which is awesome considering how it was running. So I have some fine tuning to do on a few things but the motor is pretty much set.
Just gotta paint the core support, finish up some wiring, wheels polished, tires, find a hood & bumper and paint the car and its finished; more or less.
Wohoo 5 months of work finally coming together.
Oh and craig; I beat you, my car has been running (horribly) since last week

I went and looked at the 720, had a bit more rust than I expected. I think the right rear break is toast and the carrier bearing is completely gone. Im gonna try and jew him down a little and see if he bites.. If he does Ill bring her home tomorrow and start working.

BTW, everyone that comes across spare knock sensors, label them and put them somewhere safe. Its probably the most common sensor to crap out, and will ruin your dyno day for sure. Also note, Nissan wants $170 for one and the parts stores aren't much better!
