Here are the pics

what air cleaners are available for dual su's that clear the brake cylinder?

Ok that is good to know, I am still working on getting the pics up

Man, what a find.

There is no "VIN" in the sense of a code, 1200s only have a sequential serial number.

The build date should be on the driver's side b-pillar when you open the door.

1971 apparently had a higher compression piston, but that's not proven.

No USA 1200s came from the factory with twin carbs, only the GX models had those. And only the GX-5 came with a 5-speed.

8000 RPM factory tach was a dealer option. 10,000 RPM tach was a Datsun Competition part. Ditto for headers, though more likely they are aftermarket. An oil pan with wings is aftermarket.

I just purchased another 1200 coupe, it needs some work its smashed in the front. My question is there a way to decode the vin to tell if any parts came factory on 1200's? Also are all of the heads the same, and if not how does some one tell them apart? It has dual su's, dogleg 5 speed, 4-2 exhaust manifold, factory tach, large oil pan, with side extensions. It needs a complete front clip, and the previous owner decromed the whole car, removed bumpers, shaved door, trunk lock, badges, and everything else was painted over like window trims. This makes 2 coupes, and 2 sedans for me

I will try to get pics up before the weekend is over
