We are in Southern California. Have had this 1200 for 29 years. People drive up to me and want to buy it while we are on the freeways. Great car. Still the shiny GREEN. Had the head redone(third engine). But having difficulty in locating the proper gasket for it. Reportedly Datsun built this engine between 1978-80 either in Canada or US. Been told it is critical to determine which country because gasket configuration might be different. Would the engine ID number tell me? Also, this engine might be compatible with another make or model of engine, say a mini copper? Just need the correct gasket. Thanks for your assistance.

What you need to know is the year of Datsun 210 the engine originally came out of.
Since it's in a Datsun 1200 now and not the original Datsun 210, who can say?
These take different gaskets:
* 1979-1980 model year
* 1981-1982 model year
Your Nissan dealer is your best bet. Give them the engine number and they *may* be able to match it to a specific year. Or, just buy one of each gasket.
The fool-proof way is to wait and buy the gasket after you have removed the intake manifold. Take the old gasket to your Nissan dealer and they will match it.
