Water Temperature Gauge
1972 USA Owner's Manual
By "H" they mean out of the large middle range (way over to right-side -- the H area).
If the pointer stays on the "H" side for more than two minutes, stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down, keeping it at 1,000 to 1,500 rpm.
Also see: Thermostat or Temperature Gauge
Fuel Gauge
The position of the pointer will vary slightly during acceleration, braking and when the car is going up or down a hill.
Specifications
From the 1973 Datsun 1200 Factory Service Manual.
Ohms Mark 35 Half
Stock Fuel level gauge, ss measured by club members:
- Empty mark: 73-88 ohms input
- Full mark: 12 ohms
ang94541 uses an aftermarket Autometer 3515, which does doesn't match the Nissan sender except at the empty mark. It is designed for the unusual Ford senders.
- 3515 Empty mark: 73 ohms
- 3515 Full mark: 10 ohms

Ignition Switch
Also see: * Keys * Locks * Ignition Switch
No mention is made of what the OFF position is for. Presumably its use is the same as the "GARAGE" position.
1972 USA Owner's Manual (page 11):
ignition switch ... is integrated with the steering lock device
...
The "ACC" (accessories) position of the switch permits you to use all of the electrical accessories.
1974 Export Pickup Owner's Manual (pages 9,10):
(Optional)
ignition switch ... is integrated with the steering lock device
...
The key can be inserted or withdrawn only when the switch is in the "GARAGE" or "LOCK" position. In the "GARAGE" position, however, the steering is not locked.
(3-position)
The "ON" position allows you to turn on the ignition system as well as all the other electrical circuits.
Notice that the standard 3-position type does not have an "ACC" position.
5-position switch vs 4-position switch:
Note addition of ACC position, which power Radio & Rear Defroster
Portugal market:
Interruptor de ignićāo [Ignition switch] Desligado [OFF] Ligado [ON] Arranque [START]
