Thanks for the reply and yes, it's an A12 engine. While going through the manual one more time I noticed that I don't use the recommended weight oil. I guess I better upgrade at the next change. I been running a synthetic 30 wt. instead of the 20w-50 that the book says. Hmmm, hope that didn't affect the operation of this old thing too much. I noticed "dimlight" on the board. Great, he doesn't live too far from here & thought I might have lost him at the first of the summer when the computer crashed.

I finally figured out the sign in and I have a tune up question or two for a 1971 model 1200 Coupe. #1 The pulley has 5 slots on it and a single hash mark on the chain cover. Which mark is the TDC on the pulley? It seems to be the last one in the direction of rotation, but I am not completely sure. #2 I use the old Haynes manual for carburetion initial set up. I put on a new manual choke carb. The low speed idle screw is initially turned out 2 turns from being seated. The car doesn't seem to idle good unless it is out 3 or more turns and was wondering what the general seeting may be for other 1200 owners? My previous carb was about 1 1/2 turns out. I certainly would appreciate a reply and under the old board I was "Datsunboy1200", but a computer crash has kept me off since ya'll changed over. Thanks again, JJ
