Question for everyone.

Subject: Question for everyone.
by nadweji on 2017/1/9 5:58:41

I have 1971 datsun 1200 2dr sedan.
It has very few upgrade I manage to put together.
First my carb broke down so I had to install new Weber carb downdraft.
Second wheels issues so I have installed 14 inch rim and tires for better traction.
Third my mechanical fuel pump failed so I have installed new electric fuel pump.
For the most part I am extremely happy with my datsun.
But, one thing I have issue is how it doesn't seem to have enough power when going uphill. Please understand I am not a car guy so I am learning as I study my datsun. I have been reading everything I can about my car but I have not been able to pinpoint my next direction.
My datsun is original automatic.
It has a12 engine I adore. I do not wish to make it into a sleeper nor I wish to race it so engine swap is not what I would like to do.
I may consider converting into manual transmission because I have drove manual for years before this car.
However I am wondering if there is other option create more torque while being automatic?
Should I just give up on the idea and consider converting to manual.
I know this may be a stupid question but I would like some help.
Thank you in advance.
