Bill,
Thanks for the info. Several others have suggested that I get David
Vizard's book. For now, I will just rebuild the 1 1/8 carbs. Others
have told me that I need a head from a 1098, not a 1275. I really
need to get the book.
To clearify, the Datsun 5-speed is going on my '66 which does have a
1275.
Thanks,
Paul
