After more than two years lying dormant, the Jalopnik special is finally close to being revived!

Kinja'd!!!

Putting the little pushrod 8 valve motor back together was the easy part. Beating the late 70’s California smog legal carburetor and emissions system into submission, on the other hand...

Seriously, these fucking vacuum diagrams make zero sense.

What the fuck.

I’m pretty sure the idea was that if the emissions system looked complicated enough the EPA would be fooled into believing it must do something. More pipes and tubes? More clean.

I think a Datsun 210 was my mom’s first new car.

You said “pushrod 8 valve motor” and I read “pushrod V8 motor” and was having trouble associating the words with your pictures... It must be early morning here.

Don’t front, MC Ren.

I remember when you drove a B210
