I had a '70 and a '72, loved them both, couple of the best cars I ever owned. Not perfect, but not a lot to complain about. My biggest peeve was the rubber iso mount on the differential. When that rubber tore, it was like you threw a motor mount. The 'THUD' was so loud you swore the diff was coming through the floor!
Agreed about the Hitachi emissions carbs. They actually weren't that bad when they were set up right, but not many knew how to do it, most notably most Datsun Dealers. Kinda like the early Bosch Jetronic, if eveything wasn't absolutely perfect, they no workey.
Surprised you didn't swap them out, no one had emissions testing back then.
Cheers!
