67 Datsun 411 wagon

[zippy67roadster]

On my RL411 I was able to swap to a H20 gear reduction starter without significant issue. The orientation of the solenoid was close to steering, but just cleared.

That is what I bought but it will not clear. I had heard there was one that had the solenoid at the 12 o'clock position but no one seems to have a part number for it.

I believe the transmission case in the RL411 is slightly different than the SP/SR.

I have my old RL411 starter (keeping for the future) if you want to trial fit it to your set up.

Let me know. I have it here in my garage in Katy

Dan, Can you take some pictures of it for us?

The RL411 Starter from my 1600 with 4spd. I was able to swap with a gear reduction starter from a H20. Just barely fit.

That starter looks like it would work as the solenoid is positioned away from the steering box. Do you have a part number? Everything listed for a 411 online is the same as the R16 for the Roadsters.

I went though all of my 410/411 books and parts catalogs. None of them have parts listings for the Rl411 1600. Lots of PL410 and PL411.

I have to go to the ranch and check for a spare. The RL411s are pretty wacky. The electrical diagrams (RL411) are just flat out incorrect in many aspects.

Thanks!!

I have a big parts manual for all the 410 and 411, shows separate listing for SSS parts. I'm happy to share pages as needed.

[zippy67roadster]

I am looking for the SSS starter part number.

[johnlorio]

Hey the high torque gear reduction starter for a roadster will work the solenoid is clicked correctly. Dean has them at DATSUN Parts .com. I used it on my SSS

[zippy67roadster]

I already tried to put one on it is not clock properly. It's okay I was able to find a 411 SSS one.

So we completed the engine install and got her running a couple months ago. I just have to finish up some interior details and it is done. We found the correct starter in Keith's pile of starters and had it rebuilt. Keith is finishing a custom set of Carb filter housings for it as well. I had a local exhaust shop complete the exhaust from the manifold out the rear. It has a great sound and the car is a stump puller! We are looking to swap out the stock diff with a Roadster one that will better match the Roadster 5 speed we put in.

So here is a video of the first start up and the new exhaust for the stroked R16.https://youtu.be/EJiwFH1G-E8

Looks nice bumper delete, and that Alfa look front end!

Yes the bumpers were huge and in really bad shape so I figured I would delete them. Now that I am in Texas the vehicle has to go through an inspection prior to getting a Texas title and registration. If they push the bumper issue I plan on getting bumpers for a 68 Camaro and shorten them to fit and then paint them black to match the graphics.
