For some cheap bolt on power, add a 32/36 downdraught weber carby and also enhance the exhaust system with a set of extractors and a 2 inch system right through. Anything more, then you would have to start with internal motor work. ie shaved head oversize bore, bigger valves etc.   Hope you have many years of fun Datsun motoring. The A series datsun motors such as in your 1200 respond well to these modifications.

Welcome,put some extractors and a 2" system on it(not too loud,it will give you the sh*:s after a while)leave the standard carb on but get yourself a Pertronics distributer module and coil to suit and you can ditch the points forever and pick up several H.P.in the process and improve economy as well.
