These are hard to find, get them while there around, it might be another 3 years before another complete setup shows up. There is also a J block SU setup in bend or. for $150.00 I have never seen one of them before, but I have only been driving datsuns since the mid 90s and have had no interest in J blocks.

what US models did these actually come stock in?

[ggzilla]

Those are A12 manifold and carburetors. Those are from Japan-market B210 1973-1975 A12T (Twin Carb) engine. For 1976-1977 they had A14T with 4-bolt carburetors and manifold to match.

 

The only USA models with anything similar are 1960s Roadsters, 410/411 and of course the 1970-1974 Z-cars.

ah thanks, i thought i read awhile ago about some US cherrys being equipped with them, guess that was wrong

[ggzilla]

The only Cherry model sold in USA was the Datsun F10. The 1980s "Cherry" vehicles sold in some countries were actually Pulsars.

 

Datsun Competition, later Nissan Competition, now Nismo, sold these carburetors for B210s and F10s and 310s (N10 Pulsar). But the USA F10 regular parts catalog doesn't list them.

cool. you are a wealth of information :thumbup:

by the way, the manifold & carb set for sale here are more powerful than the A14T twin carb setup. This A12 manifold has huge ports for extra high RPM. The A14T manifold is stock size. And these carbs are traditional Hitachi SU-type (nearly the same late 510 SSS/early 610 SSS), while A14 had a new style carb that's very different from SUs and only looks similar on the outside.

 

They usually sell for $150, but these come with air cleaners and the usually-missing heat shield. If the carbs are professionally rebuilt or otherwise in great shape, $500 is not unreasonable.

Restored dual su's for A series engine $1700.00!! link http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pts/1908693905.html

Z-therapy restored set is only $1200, isn't it? And they are the best. And those are not GX carbs, but another set of A12T carbs (which perhaps are better anyways).
