the a15 had the highest flow rate of all A series engines if you go the mech. roue or nissan had a good electric pump in the aussie bluebird series III (b910 i think??) I am using 1 of these for a prime pump to a surge tank.12mm(1/2") is bloody big , 10mm(3/8) might be easier to bend up, and big enough. but there are heaps of elect. pumps avail. (holley are known to be noisey)
is the question what sort to buy?ok why did you want an elec. fuel pump? the a14 mech. should flow enough. i did this with twin 40dcoe webbers on my a15 with a holley pressure regulator worked fine. the holley reg. was handy because it had two outlets.
i have an a15 in my 1980 b310 and it went straight in i have found that there are different lenght throw-out bearing carriers(clutch bearing)ive found 3 so far, i think they are different lenghts to suit different flywheels(thicker flywheel=shorter carrier).you can put your a12 flywheel on the a15, better anyway, dont have to worry about cluth bearing and it's lighter!
yeh I've had a look at that site and they look the same as some that were for sale in japan, some of the jap importers in aust. wrer advertising imported 1200 utes 4 sale long&short bed,. are they still being made in japan or have they stopped also??
can anyone tell me how newer model utes compare to the olderones ,they stopped selling 1200 utes in mid 80's here in austr.Interior, mechanicals,factory options?
put in a good front end(susp.+brakes)so that it steers and stops .the best you afford, if it means saving up, then save.It makes a big difference. do your homework because a bad set up can cost as much as a good one there are lots of combinations you can put in.dollars will decide.
I've built a mild A15 in a B310 ,bored 80 thou (2mm) used mazda E5 pistons. they also have a 19mm pin end up with a 5.6cc dish (bugger all)these were supplied by SSS automotive in Sydney Austr. piston to deck is 1mm,about 9.75 c/r ,can still run our #### grade pump gas
