Thanks for the help. I'll run the car this spring and see how the engine performs. If it has issues i may go a different route with a little more standard engine.
Thanks

Great - Thanks for the help. Not sure how this engined ended up in a car I purchased in Montana? If you had to go to the local parts store and order parts any guesses what whould be a close match for a "sold in the USA model"
Thanks for all your help.

Thanks

Help for the new guy. I have an AH Sprite with a Nissan A12 engine in it that I am trying to identify. I am just trying to figure out which car this engine / tranny came out of so I can order parts. Distributor is set back on the right side of the engine so I assume later A12. Valve cover is marked Nissan. Head has round intake ports. Tranny has reverse to the left and forward. As you can see I have a header and a webber setup. Had to build the header from scratch to get it to fit. 3/8" flange from scratch on my home shop CNC machine. Just made the first trip around the block today - 3" ground clearance and 6" of snow and slush - it wasn't pretty. Any idea what car it came from? Thanks KW

Asked this question on the main forum and didn't quite get the answer I needed. I recently purchased a AH Sprite with a transplanted A12 Nissan. It has a right hand alternator and distributor almost mid block on the right so I am guessing it's a later model. Built a custom header and added a Weber 40mm DCOE over the weekend. Only problem is all of the intake gaskets I have are oval port and my head has round ports. Trying to find out what US year / model this engine may have come from? I want to be able to go to the parts house and order parts but all I can tell them is "Nissan A12". Any guesses? One more thing.. Strange wire connecting to the distributor on top near the vac advance unit - what is it?
Help
