Should know about the ride under their bum's.



1967 the new style front grill (seven bar all pressed steel)
New grill new stlye .....latest....... it made the wee car look older sexier ....the style was a hit The same style remained until 1970's


model's avalible .....
1000 cc two door sedan ,,,wagon,,,utility.
1200cc four door sedan,,, two door coupe,,,utility
DATSUN 1000 ,1200
SERIE'S B 10 , B 110
1967 TO 1969

Come with automatic tranmission
2. three speed manaul gear box (colum)
3. four speed manual tran's (some had the colum arrangment )
rest had floor arrangemnt ..
A 10 was the motor used in the earlist model's (988cc) displacement over head valve .....
other wize known as the 1000.....8.5:1 compression rated from factory 56 horse power
the stroke was 59 mm (meaning the travel of the piston drive's up and down the piston bore) inside the cyclinder block.

Datsun factory put the
hitachi DCG 286 twin barrel carby.

The fuel pump coofed up a mild
0.16 kgs (2.28 psi) of delivery preasure
the oil in the catchment area called the sump ..surported
3.58 litre's of S A E 30 GRADE

Front suspenion was made up with a huge ugly upside down leaf spring
major hasle to service or repair it best left to a block (chick) know's what's the G......O
What the fine print is all about

The rear had leaf also
better arangement easy to service (also had helper spring) to surport incase of over loading was optional extra plus cost......
More avalible in the after market than from the factory floor

Braking system was made up with...
.one cyclinder master unit.
drum brake's all round
front to back
273 cm in dia
differtail they had a couple to choose from ratio's started at
4.1111:1 in the sedan's and
4.375:1 in the station sedan (ute coupe)
later added the ratio's of 3.900:1
(datsun part) 3.950:1
(HUNTING FOR THE DONNER VEHICLE)

Fuel tank's are in the size of
SEDAN 35 litre's
station wagon ,van, ute 30 litre's



Ater the new A 12 was fitted same motor just re machined to greater displacement (1171cc)
known as the 1200 ....9.0:1 68 horse power
the stroke was 70 mm this measurement is found (only when comparing the connecting rod's length) between 1000 to the 1200
1000 size was116.98 117.30 mm
1200 size was 121.48 121.54 mm

DATSUN factory fitted the same carby just revised (fingered with it )
made few noticable difference's

Huge performance difference

renamed it the DCG 306
Really added a power valve to second throat for better High speed operation
the fuel pump look's the same but not to be fooled the 1200 has little bit more drive preasure at 0.18 kgs (2.56 psi)

A must if you are upgrading the motor (greater displacement)
Need's more fuel gotta go quika no question's
This was made availble through mechanical pump's ...bolt to the block ....or
(eletriic mean's) placedment reckmended according per manifacture's instruction's


The amount of oil in the engine sump was quite strange one would of thought bigger motor more oil ...It has less oil a mild 3.24 litre with the oil filter full ... the grade oil was chossin mainly by condition's the vehicle's had to operate in
cold (extreem) S A E 30 ( Recommended)
extreem heat and dust even the a mount of use it would have (distance's) long travel's

The under body was fingered about too
for the better
new disc drake's on the market
also added the twin master cyclinder drum brake rear 273 cm dia
sweet wittle disc"s on the front
212.5 mm wide and a mild 9.5 mm thick STOPPED Them fine
Fuel was in the size's of
sedan 40 litre's
coupe van ute station wagon 38 litre's


Old school front upside down suspenion (leaf spring) was scrapped and replaced with the very clever coil over strut design
....made it possible for every day spanner hand's able to replace fix WITH OUT THE HUGE MUNGREL BIT'S OF MACHINARY in the work shop's


this also was a hit and stayed in datsun's (NISSAN) engineering book....





KEEP YOU'S POSTED WHEN I LEARN MORE

Is I donin fine so far fella's
or has I got it screwed up
