Their is two/five types of Japanese SU carb
Two being fitted to L4 datsun
first one being the 510 L16SSS model,these carbs look 100% the same as
Brit SU's.
Same as fitted to 610SSS (note the L18SSS carbs are 100% the same as
L16SSS)
Next model Square top(tuna cans as called in the USA)where fitted to the
710SSS and 810SSS,with the L18.
Never seen them fitted to a L20B factory.
The other three types are the bigger ones fitted to the S30 and such.
