Lockleaf Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 More pics of the car will make it faster!!! OK it won't, but we love pictures. Looks like a J series? Nice looking engine. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 looks like an a12 intake / exhaust / and a weber carb will make it run better :thumbup: :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Its a 1200, they usually don't go fast.....I know cuz I own 2 of em :thumbup:. That black valve cover threw me off a bit, thought it might be an A14/15 but the dizzy is in the right place to be an A12. Like Ranman said, get a weber carb. Quote Link to comment
dimas1200datsun Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yes it is an a12 engine I rebuild it 1yr ago, it does 92 mph but it takes a lot of petal to the metal to get it there.. it's the original motor on the car that's why I didn't change the engine,should I do a swap or keep it original Quote Link to comment
