Anybody have a copy of the A15 workshop manual I might be able to get a copy of?

pm mildman, he might have it electronically still

Thanks

Had a few more requests.....just go here - TnPShow was kind enough to host it.

Thanks Mildman, I couldn't find a 'reply' button for PM.

After much debate with myself about exactly what to do with this engine of mine, I've removed one side of the ancillaries (exhaust, carbs, etc). I guess I'll be ready to hire the engine hoist over the weekend to pull it out.

It's currently sat in my Lotus 7 replica, hauling twin Weber 40's off the side was (for not the first time) daunting :) Removing the exhaust + manifold was a new one on me, the tail pipe is basically a 4" dia tube strapped to the side of the car :D

If only I could find a reliable source for A15 parts here in South Africa, I think I'd keep it, but for the moment I suspect I'll end up replacing it with an A14, which at least has a local supply chain, given the local Nissan 1400 bakkie/ute being available from new (still!)

The manual applies to both *grin*

More than welcome!

Most of the parts between the A14 & A15 will be similar too (except for the bottom end - that is crankshaft, pistons, block, sump).

So you might be able to hang on to your A15....although I'd say the performance between the two is fairly close.

With the same head they have pretty much the same top end torque (or horsepower), but the A15 will have more torque at lower rpms - thus will probably accelerate a little better out of corners, but would have the same top speed.
