where is the accel pump.? I don't know squat about carbs, maybe I should take it to the shop.? But where?? Everyones says, what the hell is that? A Datsun??

It acts the same in the hot weather, just more exaggerated in the cold. Plugs and wires are not original, maybe need them NKG'S?

Not sure, probably the original, since everything on it is.

Ok, I searched and searched, then searched some more and didn't really find the answer. I have a '79DL front wheel drive carbed with the dreaded "Dead Spot" whenever i "gun" it or try to start actually moving. Light feathering and It can be dealt with, but worried about safety, cause when cold, it can and has stalled. checked tank, looks brand new inside. several new fuel filters and finally i have no rust in them (must of been from fuel lines). sprayed carb cleaner (no vac leaks that i could hear) and wd 40'd the whole carb. There is a vac line hanging down on the passenger side footwell, It does suck air and when i plug it, very little to no change. It has 55000 original miles and is in great shape. I want to keep it. Was is the cheapest fix, to most expensive (reliable) fix? This car will start very easy every time, reguardless of how long i sit it. I will Idle just fine too. Even in nuetral when I gun it, the dead spot arises, but obviously not at bad. HELP!!!!!!!!

All you have to do is look at the front fender on my 79 dl it says "front wheel drive" in fancy cursive chrome.

It's red with black pleather interior and wood grain dash. Sedan 2 door. Any way to fix the tank, it seems pretty easy to access and get out. Steam clean? I have a steam cleaner at work.

I just picked up a '79 dl front wheel drive. Stupid question, which is the oil dipstick and which is the tranny? Could all the rust in the fuel filter be from the gas tank? I put a new filter in , and 20 miles later it filled with rust again. Other than that it runs purrrrrfect and the auto tranny shifts great. only 55k orig miles. not one rip in seats front or rear.

I just got a '79 dl with 55000
