Mark,
The Datsun specs show 1 to 2mm of freeplay. I have mine at about 1/8 inch or about in the middle of the rod.

Thanks Gary. Perfect! Will do.
EDIT: Found the photo I'd taken of your set-up.

One problem did pop up yesterday. The front U-joint was hitting, just a bit, the tunnel. I had presumed that the new rear spacer that Gerard offers might move it forward just enough. So, we had to use a pry-bar to bend, just a little, the tunnel so-as to make the necessary room.
I again mention Paul A.'s solution... with the car up on jackstands, toss a broom handle up the tunnel and let it catch the u joint, spin around, and beat clearance from the inside... . LOLOLOL. ..not elegant, but it works. .... I only mention it because shimming the engine will change the alignment of the drive shaft and put extra load./wear on the u-joints. ?
Gerard, Is there a specific place where additional clearance is needed before I start major pounding in the Spring.
Any updates on the Quick Shifter?
