Actually, the DATSUN Service Bulletin introducing the 1967 1/2 cars is more
specific about the change between Solexes and SU's. There was a specific
production date cut-off in the spring of 1967 when DATSUN stopped installing
Solexes at the factory and replaced them with SU's. It was based on date -
not a specific serial number or production count near as we can tell. It just
so happens that the date cut-off was in the 200's of the car numbers. It also
notes that the first production 2000 was SRL311-00003.
This information is included in the Service Bulletin reprint section of Part
III of The Datsun Roadster Book.
