Distributor under plug number three means it's a 1974 or newer engine.

Up to 1973, the A10 and A12 had the distributor under number one plug.

i thought it had to say a12a on the block? my dizzy is under sark threee??? waz dat mean?

damn... i cant remember off the top of my head... i'll have a look and get back to ya

i have an A12A in my coupe but it only says A12 on the block, where is the dizzy? under cylinder three?

yeah mines an 1981 model ...... t still just says a12 on the engine bay, not a12a.....

i saw a guy who had a racing a14 coupe, he showed me how most guys just bolt the extra steel plate on with the bolt a bit further back....( like that diagram) so it makes more sense lookin at the diagram now...

but if the ute is after a certain modle its and a12a then the a-14/15 will bolt strait in am i right

sweet , time to find an a15 now...

wreckers be the best bet?

all u need is a couple of theese puppies and itll go straight in

blocks to mount engine

hye guys... just reading the tech section about installing an a15 into a 1200..

by reading this quote does this mean on a ute the mounts dont have to be altered?

"There is a simple procedure for fitting an A14/15. If you own a Datsun 1200 ute, the chances are your A14/15 will bolt up and start due to the fact that the cross-member has different shaped mounts. The 1200 Coupe, Sedan and Wagon are a different story."

obviously i have a ute....
