Indentification
A10s are easily identified by the 'Datsun 1000' valve cover.
The most distinctive feature may be the rocker cover -- it actually has the engine size on it unlike any other A-series cover.
A more reliable way to identify it -- since the cover may be changed -- is to look for the 'A10' stamp engine ID & serial number
Applications
