Yes, what are they for? Square headlights or round?

In the US, we've been running unleaded for 15 years, and need no additional additives for the old engine. They do just fine with unleaded fuel.

Someone from Australia should answer in case the unleaded there is different.

You probably don't have an A12A, which was a US-only engine and didn't come in "GX" style, it was the fuel economy motor. It is 1237 cc, with a slightly bigger bore than the A12.

The 71-73 A12 has the distributor under #1 spark plug. The 74-up A12 has it under #3. There is an ID mark on the flat boss near the distributor that should say "A12" or "A14".

The Holley 5200 (US name) is a licensed copy of the Weber DGV, this was done in the 1970s. It is the same carb with a different name. Holley I suppose cast them up in their own factories. The Holley says "Weber" inside the float chamber. They use the same jets and parts.

Subaroo do air-to-water intercooler. Or maybe stick an air-to-air on top of the engine poking out the hood scoop, like Nissan does.

This glass site lists the Nissan Datsun 1200 www.aaaautoglass.com. Let us know if they do/don't have it.

No, which of the two 5-speed articles are you trying to read?

Drive Train tech section

You have to login to the site to read the Sunny Box article, but the other should work for anyone.

Of note, there was a 1960's Sylvia Coupe, a JDM Sylvia S11 (RHD), a B310 Wagon (Datsun 210), Two 610s and a 710. And of course the expected dozens of Roadsters, Z-cars and 510s.

Here are the three 1200s that showed up on Saturday:

Yes, you are right. The cam and other factors will affect the PSI. The main thing is if all the reading are similar, with no cylinder way lower than the others. Your test looks good.

I'm looking at my 1972 B110 parts catalog. It lists two types of pistons: All ("reg gas") and GX-H ("high gas"). It also lists two long blocks:

10001-H2350 GX high gas
10001-H2356 GX reg gas

It only lists one type of GX head and camshaft, so presumably the difference is in the pistons. The Datsun 1200 group 1 FIA recognition amendment doc lists 10.0:1 and 29.1cc combustion chamber but the earlier engine (non-GX?) had 36.6cc combustion chamber.
