There's black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe of my Nissan B210 when the engine is running. How can if fix this?

It is possible that the carburetor choke of your Nissan B210 is stuck closed, and you will have to repair or replace it. You can rebuild it with a kit or replace it with a new or remanufactured carburetor, though the latter is a more expensive option. The complexity of rebuilding this component depends on the type of carburetor your car has. Because the B210 has a four-barrel carburetor, repairing or rebuilding it may be difficult but can be handled by someone experienced in DIYs. If you are not comfortable doing the rebuild by yourself and you can't find a trusted friend to help you, it's easier and less risky to replace the carburetor instead. When shopping for the correct kit or replacement, you will need to know the metal ID tag on your car's old carburetor, which will tell the exact model number and calibration of the unit.

I'm rebuilding my old Nissan B210. Can I place any type of engine there or does it have to be a specific unit?

Unless you want to modify your Nissan B210 even more, it's best to stick to the engine used on the Nissan B210 during its production, which is the A series of engines. Specifically, you should look for the redesigned A12, A12A, or the 1974 tall-deck A13—you can choose which engine you like best. The 1974 redesigned A12 is a 1.2-liter engine and was the first to use the then-new block style. Its distributor was moved from the front side of the engine to the middle of the block to make room for accessories like air conditioning, anti-pollution air pumps, and more. The motor mount positions were also moved slightly. With the redesign, Nissan introduced its emission control technology called Nissan Anti-Pollution System or NAPS. Meanwhile the A12A is also a 1.2-liter engine that used a casing similar to the A12 and the same stroke, but used a 75-mm bore to increase its capacity by 66 cc. Lastly, the A13 is the first tall-deck engine with a capacity of 1.3 liters and a 73-mm bore like the A12, but has a stroke of 77 mm to reduce the compression ratio from to 8.5:1.

My Nissan B210 won't turn over. What's wrong with my car?

The first and most likely cause for your Nissan B210 not turning over is a dead or drained battery. Before you go out and replace your battery, try to recharge it first, as it might just have drained because you left a light on overnight. Try jump starting your car and driving it around for an hour or so to confirm that everything's working fine. Another possible reason would be corroded battery cables. Find the thickest cable connected to the battery—that's the starter cable. If it becomes corroded, it becomes impossible for current to run from the battery to the starter. Simply clean the cable and other connections with a wire brush to remove the corrosion.
