What is the process for installing a new timing chain for a 1980 datsun 280zx?
Yes, nothing really changed bodywise until the 1982 model year.
The distributor cap and rotor for the 1979 Datsun 280ZX and 1980 280ZX should be the same as they both use the L28 inline-six engine. However, it's always best to verify part compatibility by comparing part numbers or consulting with a parts specialist.

My 1980 280ZX GL model still gets 25mpg after 250,000 miles. A tank of gas (20 gallons) should get you 500 miles. It's a manual 5-speed transmission.

I have a 1983 280zx, so I can tell you based on personal experience that it will run, however your mileage and performance will go down and it could damage your fuel system.
