Datsun 1200 uses a tradition wet-sump oil pan, holding about 2.5 quarts of oil. It is a sheet metal part that plays no structural function. It is a front-sump design.

North American B210 engines (A13 & A14) used a mid-sump (center sump) design.

All the A-series pans bolt to all A-series engines. However, A15 oil pans have bulges for the extra crank throw. Using an A14 pan on A15 results in a banging noise.

Pan Styles

There were several pans for A-series:

1967-1973 - front distributor engine blocks

Front Sump (B10 and B110 interchange)

When the distributor was moved back for 1974 there was a change in the pan rail shape under the oil pump area which prevents interchangeability between front-dist & mid-dist engines

1974-up - mid-distributor engine blocks

Mid-sump (B210, perhaps A14 only)
A15 front sump pan with bulges, will retro fit into other A-series mid-dizzy engines.

The lack of clearances bulges on the "B" type pans prevents use on the A15, however the presence of bulges on the A15 pan does not interfere with its use on other rear dist engines.
