720 datsun 4x4 help? (1 Viewer)

[mazdafan]

im currently 18 and saved up some cash for a 4x4. my uncles friend has a black nissan datsun 4x4. he said he took the carburator off and he still hasnt put it back on. if i do buy it im just gonna get a weber carb for it.

is 500 bucks a good deal? how often do these things break down and how hard is it to work on? and after the carb it will be 800 invested in the truck. i have owned 3 cars but never a nissan datsun dont really know anybody who has

If the old carbon, is good, and was just taken off to service something, and you have everything to put it back togethe, bolts etc. Then it is an option, but o don't, know the details. You should make sure the fuel pump works good as well. If the old carb isn't useful, then a weber is an alternate choice, and usually easier to install, its also good to have a knowledgable person to help adjust.
I had one a while back and it worked good. Make sure the truck is decent and you know all the issues, a car is just a series of parts, good luck
