So, I have a Datsun engine and transmission in my 1964 MG Midget. From what I have heard, it is a good engine to have, so I plan to keep it. Other than the fact that someone told me that it is an A12 (confirmed by the serial number), I know nothing about the engine and I am therefore having trouble looking for parts. Also, after starting it after having sat for about 7 years (previous owner), it runs OK but upon reeving, it gives a nasty backfire; any advice? The manual I got for it (an original copy which is the aqua color) is very vague on adjusting the valves; it simply gives the specifications (0.25mm cold) where my VW manual (for my VWs obviously) tells what position the engine should be in according to the distributor rotor position. How do I go about this?
Here are some parts I currently need:
-Clutch slave cylinder
-Clutch soft line
-Transmission cover plate
-Shifter bushing kit
Thank you for any help.
