ofg Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Looks like for a modest sum I can just replace the carb on my 79 210. Was wondering what kind of head it has on it? Oval port? Wet manifold? Trying to locate a side draft intake manifold, but apparently there are about a hundred different variations on the A series head. I drove the little red box a couple a days ago. Its quicker than I thought. 4 speed, so I am thinking it has the HO motor? Single carb, 49 state, and came from 5000 ft in colorado,, so it probably also has the altitude compensating equipment. Unfortunately it grinds just a touch on downshift. Not going to worry about it though. Could just be clutch system out of whack. Was considering a redline weber conversion, but as usual, the availability seems to skip the 210 model all together. Everything available for a b210 or a b310,, but no 210. Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 They came with A12As or A14s... and depending on if auto 4 or 5sp on the ports, plus if it was changed... Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ghetto rigged to the max! Some emissions equipment removed, and SOME holes plugged up. Pretty sure the electric choke isnt hooked up because there is a mess of cut wires behind it. Car will not cold start without ether,, but hot starts fine. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Front view of top of intake manifold. So tiny looking. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Whats this round thing with a port sticking out,, right next to the charcoal canister? Can I remove it? Wheres it hook up to? Going to get a redline weber conversion anyway,, soooo, what is it? Referring to the greasy dirty thing laying horizontal, just left of the charcoal canister. has a large blue hose nipple sticking out left. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 a closer look at front of intake manifold dirt and grease. Quote Link to comment
ofg Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I did find a redline weber conversion for this car! Seems like the easiest route to get increased performance and methodical delete of all the emissions equipment. Was hoping to retain the stock air cleaner and related cold start plumbing though.

Pumpkn210 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Looks to be a oval port. On the other side of the engine just under the head towards the rear there is a flat spot with the engine size stamped in. And the blue nipple thing is an emmision crap thing and can be removed!

datsunfreak Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Whats this round thing with a port sticking out,, right next to the charcoal canister? Can I remove it? Wheres it hook up to? As I recall, there was a rubber hose from it to the smog pump. No idea what it does though. :P I did find a redline weber conversion for this car!

Redline/Weber makes an adapter to fit your stock breather to the Weber carb. ;) And if you're that worried about "cold start", get the Weber with the electric choke. :cool: Quote Link to comment
