KA24DE-Powered 1978 Datsun 620 King Cab Pickup w/ 5 Speed

Numbers Matching, Largely Original, very clean, 1969 Datsun 510 four door sedan in great condition. 
-The car has been repainted in yellow & preserves its original interior, to include a "Datsun" radio. 
-Clean & solid undercarriage/floor pans. 
-Lighting system, to include brake lights (I installed a new brake switch) all working as it should
-Runs, drives & brakes as it should. Mechanically sound. Regularly driven during weekends.
-The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles
-True miles unknown. It has a clean FL title and is currently tagged & registered for street use.
-Miles will keep going up as this dime is driven regularly during weekends around town.

What it may need:  
-Professionally Check and adjust the engine's ignition timing. Please refer to "engine section" below to read the justification for this need, thanks.

Upholstery and interior:
-It preserves its original interior in excellent shape, to include a "Datsun" radio.

Engine:
-Original Engine: Yes, numbers matching
-Powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. 
-Original Hitachi Carburetor was rebuilt in 2017 (**see attached receipt from previous owner)
-In 2026, I installed new Mechanical Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter from Z Car Depot
-Since current owner acquired, only non-ethanol fuel has been used to run it.
-In 2026, I installed New NGK Spark plugs.
-In 2026, I did a Fresh oil change with 20w50 Valvoline VR1 and motor oil filter. 
-New Mechanical fuel pump from Z Car Depot.

-Disconnected the " fuel return line" to carburetor; it is still all there & used a cap and pinch-off clamp at end of the return hose line sitting next to the carburetor. Is a common modification in Datsuns. I have done it in my other two 510s and it has served me well. I feel the cars run better as the original return system usually struggles with low fuel pressure or vapor lock.

-In 2026, I installed a New Pertronix electronic ignition system conversion kit with ignitor and flame thrower coil. 
**In case the new owner would like to return the ignition distributor back to the original points and condenser system, The sale will include the original coil and the few small parts taken out from the original distributor to replace with the Pertronix ignitor parts.
**Recommend to professionally check and adjust the engine's ignition timing. 
--After I installed a Pertronix electronic ignition conversion kit (ignitor and flame thrower coil) I adjusted the engine's ignition timing, as recommended by Pertronix. The thing is I did this myself and I am not a certified or professional mechanic. I am just a Datsun enthusiast & home car garage tinkerer. I followed my old school Haynes and Clymer service manuals and verified the steps in the internet. According to the service manuals, timing should be at 10 degrees "before top dead center". With my timing light, disconnecting the vacuum & slight rotation of the distributor,  I felt I hit the sweet spot with the new Pertronix Electronic Ignition swap somewhere between 5-10 degrees at around 600-700 rpm.  I got the car starting and idling well, and accelerating without hesitation.  However, when I compare it to my other two 510s after flooring the pedal/throttle, it feels weaker. To be fair in my comparison, my 510 wagon has a stock L20b and the two door dime has the L16 but with dual side draft 40 DCOE webers. Obviously there is more power in the 2 aforementioned 510s versus the 69 four door which is fully stock. So may be "weakness" I feel is just the "normal"?? for a stock L16 engine?  or did I get the engine base timing wrong? 

Mileage:
-The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles. True miles unknown. Miles will keep going up slightly up as this dime is often driven mostly during weekends around town.


Wheels and tires:
-New 13 " Ironman 185/70/13 Tires installed in January 2026
-The 13″ steel wheels wear polished original covers
-Original steelies were Blasted and painted in 2017 (see attached receipt from previous owner)


Brakes:

Braking is provided by original front discs and rear drums.

Braking system works as it should

Emergency brake works as it should


Transmission:

Four-speed manual transmission.

Appears to be its original tranny and it shifts as it should.


**If interested,  a set of 4 period correct Polished slot mag-style 14″ wheels, 14" x 6"   (do not know the offset) , w/out center caps can be added to the sale for an additional $400.
**Sale does not include the old-school gutter roof racks.**
** Sale does not include Datsun Emblem in front grille; The 69 Datsun 510 did not have such emblem. I added it after purchasing the car and polishing the front grille.

1. wiring up head/tail & signal lights (only brake lights are working at this tiime). All the wiring needed will be provided with the sale.

I have not tried to torque again at the 35 fr/lbs torque recommended spec.
6. Small leak at Rear tranny seal;  I just installed a new one but I guess did not do it right.
7. Small leak at Differential front pinion seal: **A new seal (in its box from Z Car Depot) for the pinion gear where the driveshaft hooks up, will be provided with the sale.
8. windshield wipers not installed  but motor (with new bolts from Z car depot) and wiper arms will be provided with the sale. The car has never been driven in the rain but I have applied 'Rain-X" in the winshield just in case.

1971 Datsun 510 – Toyota 22R / 5-Speed 

1971 Datsun 510 sedan project with clean title in hand.

Owned by the same owner since 1988.

This is a solid foundation for a serious build. The car features a Toyota 22R gas engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission — a popular and reliable swap in the 510 community.

The body is currently in primer because rust repair has already been completed and it was being prepped for repaint. The original factory color is cream corn yellow.

Highlights:
 • 1971 Datsun 510 sedan
 • 2-door 
 • Clean title
 • Same owner since 1988
 • Toyota 22R engine
 • 5-speed manual transmission
 • 6-point roll cage
 • Rust repair completed
 • Body in primer, ready for paint
 • Comes with parts to complete

This is not a finished show car — it’s a well-started project with major groundwork already done. Excellent candidate for a restomod, street build, or track car.

Not currently driving.
Bring a trailer.
