repu dash
you have to take off the metal part ,and then the pad...
the metal parts has a few screws along the front windshield rubber , then you have to pop the rear part with a screw driver.....when you take off the metal you will see the screws holding the pad down, there is a 10mm nut on each of the corners where it curves,and there is a few push type fasteners, you have to take off the speedo to get to it......

sweet, thanks fellas
it was the screws at the base of the windshield i was overlooking.
my window is real dusty and i couldnt see them.
got it off now though
i'll post pics of my repu tomorrow. its not pretty, but its a find for 200$
awesome truck, HOOKS ROTARY
no offence but those WANKELHOLICS banners need to be curved slightly upward in the design. this will make them appear straight across the windshield.
i only say this because i do vinyl work on the side and have run into this problem
thanks again

im trying to see if my old repu will run. it has sat for 10+ years. i didn't have spark and i got that fixed. new cap, rotor, points and condensors, plugs and taylor wires( i had the wires laying around) i dont have a way to test the compression but i took out the leading plugs and all the compression cycles sound strong and the same. i was told to pull it in second at about 25mph and see if it fires up that way.any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
the old couple i bought it from told me they used to go to the dump with it about once a month. one day it died on the way back and so they parked and bought a new truck 
when i got it there was no spark and the points looked like ****.
im hoping this is why it quit.
this is the cleanest old motor i have ever seen. not a drop of oil leaking. and no greasy build up anywhere.
+ i want to ditch my air pump, what do i have to do to make it right? can i still use the stock carb. and exh. mani. or do i have to upgrade?
man your truck is clean HOOKS! i cant stop lookin at it.

LISTEN to Drivefast and Hooks...getcha an 84/85 dizzy and slap in there, you won't be sorry. You'll have her running in no time. In case you need more info on those trucks check out MAZDAREPU.COM if you haven't already. Also, there's still carb rebuild kits to be had from napa if needed later.

thanks a ton guys, i have checked out MAZDAREPU.COM. lots of good info there. i heard about the 1st gen distributor. but i just wasnt sure how beneficial it was.
so i guess when i get payed this week i will get that done.
im pretty sure the carb could use a rebuild after sitting for ten years. guess im gonna have to hit up napa too.
does anyone have the part # for the rebuild kit?
it would save me a ton of headache trying to explain to the lame parts guy what my truck is

That number should be on the mazdarepu site somewhere..I think that's where I found it. I also may have it written down in my book, if I do I'll post it up for ya.
I may order an extra, I'm betting they ain't making many more of those hitachi rebuild kits much longer.
Found it, the kit is CRB 21211, it's around $18. You'll also want to order CRB24117, the secondary throttle diaphragm, it's pretty cheap, as I remember, maybe $10. They've also got fuel filters, pumps, etc. Never used those, though. They seem to be they only source I know of that have a complete kit for our carbs. Nice sheet inside the box that shows the breakdown, too. You'll have fun. Watch those damn little bearings......

just rebuilt my carb
w/ a napa kit... not bad. if you've read other threads on this subject, can't stress how important it is to clean out everything. if you follow the instructions and set the floats correct (if they even needed adjusting), it should fire right up.
i was pleasantly surprised and it worked out really well.
