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*
