That has been my experience too. My current Datsun still has all the 1972 smog equipment, no problems.

Thanks for the input, I had a feeling it was either fuel or air, this car was a long time sitter so I'm betting the fuel lines are gummed up.
Also Im lookng for a new dome light fixture in addition to a tach, mine has fallen apart.

I will keep an eye out for both. "WARNING" These are both very hard to find items.

Hi i just checked then model of my car on the engin plate, it says HB 210 GTO, but i know it as a 140Y SDX, does anyone know anything interissting about this car?

The 1600\1200\bluebird? ones on ebay fit up correctly as I bought one to replace my broken interior light but the old lens can't be used as the new unit is just fractionally bigger. Nice light though but ideally I would like to find a mint old one with the octagonal lens and the correct amount of natural fading in the plastic.

Any pictures of the "HB 210 GTO". You stated this was stamped on th engine plate, are you refering to the engine block?, or the plate on the bulk head of the engine bay?

Its on a silver plate in the engin bay. Manufacturer nissan/datsun. Its got model capacity power torque engin no chasis no etc on the plate. The HB 210 GTO is next to model.

Wil try get some pics on, where is the sticky on posting pics?

Please post pics of Ext, Int and Eng bay? If possible.

Posting pics: sticky here
