  1. Thanks Stoffregen Motorsports, I think that It would worth it and tunable. way easier than changing jets and messing with the stock carb or weber. its harder to find people to work on them. I will keep all updated on how it goes when I buy the kit. there is a guy who put one a good devil old willys jeep and it ran good, same horse power rating so I think it will work on mine.
  2. Hello Ratsun! I am writing this thread to see if anybody got a Holley EFI Sniper kit 2300 to work on their Datsun its pricy but, when carburetors get impossible to find or get parts one day, this might be a good alternative. what are your thoughts???
  3. I am getting all the mpg data and tips and tricks for the article done datsun 1200 site. A completely different A series build. he managed to get very good numbers, and I would be happy at 50mpg, so I am trying to replicate my motor to match his, so if the A13 doesnt pan out I was thinking of building my A14 like mike kamms A14 with a 990 head. but he was running a header with 2 inch exhaust, I want to try and keep my stock exhaust. he also ran no alternator. I took out my fan and run a electric setup. I would also want my A14 to have great compression and I have dished pistons for it but if it need s a rebuild to get like new numbers I will do that, but it might only need a ring job.. I was up in cool CA this week, dang I could have brought the 63 5 speed trans by for a look see.
  4. would a header make the engine more efficient? I seen articles for economy and they advised against it, that the stock exhuast manifold is fine and pipe. I am not running high rpms either only up to 4k. usually runs around 2500 to 3200 power band.
  5. sorry too clarify, those are the old compression number on a stock H62 head I believe. so the old compression data I have. is on bone stock engine 1974. the FSM says 178 to 206 PSI And I did adjust the valve lash to specs.... I have not checked the new compression numbers with the new head. so if the compression is down 10 20 percent, would a ring job bring the compression back up???
  6. No. I didn't do a leak down. I have to buy the kit. But head was rebuilt like new. It's mint.
  7. What about the compression? If the engine is low on compression nothing will help the economy. What the stats on a13 engines?
  8. Hey guys how goes the debates. I have been thinking I am only getting 38 to 40 on the freeway doing 60mph, Can my engine not have enough compression cause no cylinder head will help or make more mpg if the engine is weak. my compression test data shows 150 to 155 on cylinders #1 dry 155, wet 160, #2 dry 150, wet 155, #3 dry 152 wet 162, #4 dry 155, wet 161... I bought the car with 26 OG miles on it, it sat for 20 years, the cylinders look good when I pulled the head. sorry the pics are too big to show... compression was done with a hot engine, all plugs out, and throttle open.
  9. Thanks mike. I have to tune the engine more and maybe swap out for my A15 and see what it can do.. to find the optium engine combo. its fun, but sometimes, frustrating when things dont happen.. DATSUN is a harsh teacher sometimes.
  10. I have 63 5 speed trans a home bought from a junk yard in yuba. but the tail shaft housing where the rear seal is has a piece of metal broken, the housing that holds the rear seal in.. I would sell it for 275. I dont know what condition the gears are in.. it does shift between gears on the ground..
  11. dang Mike u almost scaried me, I was like I have to switch trans. I do have a 63 in storage, never used it. cause I want the best one for mileage. So I have the 60A on my car now. to bad nissan never made a 6 speed. bolt on! I quess the next thing is weight reduction, I have a euro front bumper to try on and lose 40 pounds of the front...
  12. I was just looking at the gearing on a 63 series and a 60 series and the gearing is very close off by .04 and lower in 5th gear for the 60 series. and 20 pounds lighter.
  13. Also were can I get another spedo gear to align my spedo so its not so far off. it reads higher than what I am driving with stock tires. the gps says 62 at 70mph on the spedo...?
  14. I thought the 60 series is better for weight and same gearing?
