There was only one A12 motor in the states. I didn't realize until now that there was an A12 that had the mid mounted distributor, I stand corrected. There was the A12A motor
that shared the cams with the A14/A15 but they were quite rare. I guess that the world has a lot of Datsuns that we never got.

I never had any hesitation in my 1200 until I put in Champion spark plugs. If you have Champion plugs take them out and use them for their only true purpose, throwing at rats.
1200 ownere, go out of your way to get NGK spark plugs. I have never had one problem with any NGK plug that I didn't cause myself. Try to get the V-groove plugs.

Andrewdonohgue,
You CAN NOT use an A12 cam and distributor in the A!4 or A15 engines. The fuel pump and distributor are reversed from the A12 to the A14/A15 motors. The distributor is in the front of an
A12 motor but the fuel pump is in that same place in the A14/A15 motors. To use the A12 cam in the later motors, you would have to use an electric fuel pump and a crankfire ignition. An
appropriate cam would cost much less than a crankfire ignition. There are some other flaws in your facts and logic about the A-series motors but I would have to re-read all of the posts to
come up with them. You are pretty knowlegable about the motors but try to be more factual. Wrong information can cause someone else a lot of problems.

Thanks for that info on carbs for each year but my standard 1972 carb had the anti-dieseling valve and I put in a choke cable and eliminated the automatic choke. Your hesitation was
the need for re-jetting. Stock jets in a carb are ones that the factory thinks will work in all conditions, they don't do that very well if you are in a wide temperature range. Timing
also. I personally, do not think that way. I try to put in the jets that are needed for the occasion and I time a motor as far advanced as possible and the motor still start.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that your new Year will be full of live and understanding.

What let go, the piston or the rod? Just curious.

Good for you goandshow. The 1200 is the most fun car to drive.

I found the INFOSEK pages but I couldn't find the utes.

Hey Bruce, what are you going to do about the differential?

I called the Nissan forklift dealer today and the service amnager said that he would check and see what he had in his scrap yard. He said that he had some older forklifts
that had been partially stripped. I will call him again tomorrow evening and see what he has to say. I can hope he has one with the fuelie still intact.

It sure sounds better than the crushers.
