Mike,

The "metric" engines (#40,000) and higher started
with the 67.5 models.  Love the parts book, as
is does make one wonder.

 >from Engine # R-40,001 to Sept '67)

That means a 67.5 only.  Starting after Sept '67
(October '67) means a 68 model year. Yep, Rodney
was really built in 1967. Clue is the glass fuel
filter (after January 1, 1968 they used plastic
fuel filters).

Oh, the "early datsuns" have a production change
over (for model year) in the Sept month.  Later
Datsun's started in July/August.  So a '7/70 was
a '70 model year. '7/70 is a '71 model year.

Not sure when they changed from the "Sept" to "July"
end of year.

Cheers,

Tom
