I searched for this on the forum but couldn't find it.
I noticed that on page 20, the mm to inch measurements are transposed. This is different from page 3. I thought this might help someone out.
It shows .3 mm = .0079 in. for exhaust and .2mm = .0118 in. for intake.
I believe it should be .3mm = .0118 in. for exhaust and .2mm = .0079 in. for intake. This is on page 3.
I imagine this might have been an inconvenience for someone...

I noticed it in the Tech wiki section linked to the forum. I also have the hard copy.

Wow that’s a mistake from the 60’s, that’s right out of the factory service manual. I also checked a few other aftermarket manuals and that mistake went over to them as well. Oops, so much for checking before publishing. Good catch.

Our district Service Manager used to say you couldn't always trust the manual , because most of the workers hadn't own motor vehicles. Datsun wanted mostly former rural employees in the 60s ,-80s , many near the city's, their home value rose up so much they could borrow against it, invest it and start their own business ,that that family ran . thus weren't interested in a factory job. the workers from the country were provided a low cost apartment in a nissan building furnished , if they got fired the family lost everything they'd had
