Never seen a manifold like that. And the carbs say "made in England". Any ideas what this is really for?

isn't that an MG style intake? From an MG A series engine.

Hey guys,

As it turns out, this set up will fit a datsun 1200 motor, just not the one that comes to mind. The bolt pattern matches that of the pre-1965 engines, like the ones found in a 320 pickup. I beleive the engine code is an E-1. these were 1200 cc, and the cars and trucks that they came in had a badge on the side that read datsun 1200.

This manifold is not intended for this setup though. It is british, and I think it is the A-series engines from MG's or minis that nomally use this.

You may have noticed that there are two isolators stacked up behind each carb. That is because the seller needed to clear the steering tube that comes right through the area.

This is not my setup, but I have seen something like it before. I can't imagine that there is any room for an aircleaner.

MG setup without a doubt. not datsun

Yes, I almost won them but forgot to log in at the end and check. Somebody got them for $1 more ... [edit: that was the Single DCOE sidedraft went for $56 dollars, the SUs went for $155].

They clearly say "England" on them in the photos. So they are British SUs, and not the Hitachis that Nissan used for Datsun 1200.

Did any of the 1960s Datsuns (e.g. Fairlady Roadster 1200) use British SUs?
