Datsun 1200 uses a traditional V-belt to drive the engine accessories. This is commonly called the "fan belt" because it drives the radiator fan on the water pump.

Minor Maintenance
1972 USA Owners manual (Page 35 ... ):
Fan belt slackness: 10-15mm
Check the belt slack between the alternator and the fan pulley and adjust it. Grab with finger and thumb (in-between the pulleys) and see how far it moves with moderate effort. It should move about 1/2 inch.
Fan belt slackness: 0.394 to 0.591 in (10 to 15 mm)
To adjust the fan belt tension, loosen the Alternator adjusting link bolt and adjust the tension by moving the alternator. Use a pry bar such as a large screwdriver to move the alternator, and while applying pressure, tighten the adjusting bolt. Be sure to apply pressure on the first section of the case (next to the pulley). Do not pry against the iron portion of the alternator.
To loosen the alternator means loosening three bolts: The adjustment bar bolt, and the two on the bottom of the alternator bracket.
