i used to know some guys back in the Bronx that ran rears from old Datsun trucks because of the thicker axles and the torque-biased gearing, so maybe that's why he's running a Datsun rear (i'm sure it's not a truck because the wheel fit under the fenders, and i don't see the 6-bolts for the wheels) - but maybe he found some old datsun car, like the 810 (original Maxima or something) ... i'm just speculating ...
can someone explain this "welded/locked distributor"-thing that i heard mentioned in an earlier post? i've never heard of this before, and i'd like to know what it is and what it does.
ps
i love the interior of that black car (the snotty guy)

wouldn't you want the timing to be more retarded with increasing boost? maybe i just understand it ...

It's the cheap and easy way to do it, without the frills.

You are correct. However, since you can't do that with a stock dizzy, you set the Maximum timing under boost conditions, and then the timing will be *really* off (slugging) off of boost.

maybe a dumb question, but is that the blow-off valve next to the alternator?

fair dinkum.
I've only heard bonnet to mean the thing covering the engine compartment a.k.a. hood, so the bit about him connecting it to the bonnet- ah, nevermind. Stickers, anyone?
