Excellent news on the MoT front! All your ICE talk is above me I'm afraid, I don't even have a mono radio in my B110! Thanks. I didn't even turn the stereo on today. I don't know what it is with YPK's l18 engine but it is rapid. So much more pull than any L18 I've ever driven. When it was removed from YPK the speedo was showing 68,000. There's no smoke no tappet noises, runs and idles spot on. I'm very very surprised. It has definitely helped more with the electric fuel pump and the air filter. Don't want to praise it to much, need to touch some wood. Hopefully over the weekend when the family are asleep I would like to do some late night long distance driving.

Must be thanks to one of YPK's previous owners ;-)

Very impressive, a great looking Datsun. I do miss my B310, I wish I had a double garage I just couldn't leave it outside, I now have a 1979 MK4 2 door Ford Cortina, it would have been great to have kept the B310 aswell. Such is life!

Thanks guys,
Little update.
New prop shaft fitted, sorted the fuelling issue out with a brand new old stock fuel tank. Previously I sprayed the back lights which took away the worn chrome so got some brand new ones.
