Folks,
My truck is a 1979.5 Datsun, 5 speed, 4x4, apparently made in Japan. Unlike most Amverican models, it came with the Z18 instead of the usual Z20. Wondering if anyone has the initial timing specs for the Z18.
I know that the L18 spec is 3 degrees BTDC, but can't find anything on the Z18, and, living out here in Asia, there is no way to get my hands on a manual.
As per great advice from Zane, I checked Ratsun.com, and learned a great deal about my truck, but most info on the site is geared more toward the 620, and the L series or Z20 engines.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards to all,
