Hi guys

I am currently restoring an old 120Y, and I have a couple of questions that I am hoping you can answer for me.

When I accelerate the car, there is a lot of smoke generating out of the exhaust pipe, and I cannot seem to find the cause of this. Any ideas?

Also, what would be a good engine to place into the 120Y? I currently have a Nissan 1200 engine, but I am looking for something with a bit more power if possible, and maybe even ultimately converting to a 5 speed gearbox.

Last question is, there seems to be a distinct lack of acceleration in the engine, and it almost feels as though a lot of the power is being dissipated somewhere. I am being outdone by lorries sometimes, and I cannot find the source as to why there is such a lack of power coming from the car.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Mark
