That is an early (pre 67.5) fuel pump. The flat head fillister screws and thin flange make it so.

That looks like the Saki Rocket. Not sure of the color, but it is one good looking Roadster.

Re: 1970 datsun 1600 build thread
No i don't thing does are the colors. I think this silver looks a little like Dupont WA994L/67. Found on the 2008 corvette, by looking at some pictures the light reflection on the silver looks great. Though i'm not to sure i whant that color cause even a small rock chirp is going to be noticed.
O well i guess ill have to live with it, it's not like ill be driving chimuelo around town daily.

Guy here just got his shot with a Mercedes Benz silver, really nice, but will show everything. My silver/gold/beige 69 was a great color, couldn't see dirt,. chips, anything.

Re: 1970 datsun 1600 build thread
OUCH!!! I told the paint shop the silver code of the corvette. David probably the new durango silver color fits better. Dbrick i wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of your 69.

My 67.5 is a Mercedes Silver and it is a beautiful colour too... very close to 666 (stock silver colour...) Just a little more... silvery. My 74 260 is the Dodge Durango Colour. It has kind of a nickel like quality too it...

Re: 1970 datsun 1600 build thread
So today, i finally went to the paint shop to see the progress on the datsun. Great fully It's all going great, it's finally sitting back on its frame.
Then after a while talking to my dad about the work ,and things that still have to be repaired. The guy in charge of painting the car surprisingly tells me someone wants to buy my car.
Can you all guess what I told him?
