Recommended Posts

Hello!!! I have a set of carburetors from an L16-L18 datsun;

On that picture I attached said you can bolt them straight on.. is there any example of this made?

What do I need to make them run on a 4k? i have carbis and header.

(I know they might be a pain, but thats what I can have at the moment)

Big thank you if anyone have some info

So, it it a Hitachi twin-choke downdraft like the Aisan on a corolla??  I thought 1600s had Nikkis, but there's no light in the boatshed so I'm not going to look! You talk about carbs plural, while Datsun 1600s had one carb, like Corollas.

What are the sizes of the chokes, the narrowest part of the throats? If its too big on the primary that car won't run well.

Datsun have a rod throttle system, so there won't be a quadrant for the cable to act on, that might take some organising.

Fuel line may not line up either, but that's not too hard to fix, the big one is obviously the studs in the inlet manifold.

It might not be worth the trouble..  If you have the twin SUs off a SSS Datsun though..
