SU Needle Myth?
So many years ago I read that N17 were Smog needles and that N25 were non smog. Is this a myth? If in fact N25 is a smog free needle I’ve never seen a part number. Does anyone out there have definitive info on where N25 came into existence? Does any other Datsun come stock with this needle. Just curious. Dean?

Re: SU Needle Myth?
Going from memory, I think that's backwards on the needles, the N-17 being the earlier, the N-25/27 being the later with emissions and probably leaner. The N-25 was definitely a Nissan part, but is NLA.
Being near sea level, we generally find the N-17 preferable. It is probably a bit rich at altitude.
