TheGam1ngK1ng Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I just finished building my Datsun B210 motor and I noticed a couple holes I havn't noticed before. That hole next to the thermostat is what I'm talking about. From What I've read, that's where the smog pump goes but I have never had a smog pump on this. So is it plug-able or can I leave it open like that? Its been years since this thing has been running So I have no clue how i had it set up Also, That hole to the far right, That is a thermal transistor right? Not much info on these but any input would be greatly appreciated, Thank you! Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 The hole in the 2nd pic...that is down and to the left of where the rad hose connects is where your coolant temp sensor mounts (with a gland nut). I will go look and see if I have an A14 with holes like you have on the front. EDIT: So no help there, both A14 heads do not have what yours does. One is a complete engine and the smog tubes come out of the Exhaust manifold (or so it appears, there is a LOT of dirt on that motor). OK, just looked at your T/stat housing, I think something is wrong there.....I'll be back. What year is your engine, do you know? The one I just looked at is a 79 so may be way different than something out of a B210. Even the illustration in the parts catalog looks different than what you have. Yours looks like an A12 outlet, just clocked wrong (well, for an A12 that is). Quote Link to comment
Daryl Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Looks like a different thermostat housing is needed. Link below has info on em: http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Thermostat_Housing Quote Link to comment
TheGam1ngK1ng Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 So looks like I need the 4 bolt thermostat housing. I can't find the part number anywhere nor can I find the actual part for sale anywhere. Anyone know where I could get one? Maybe I can custom make my own? I can't find my old one for the life of me, and I don't want a friggen housing to stop me from driving this beast :crying: Quote Link to comment
