the extra load. And the car ru ns smoothl yon the exoresswav at soeeds aroundTOKYO-For the first timein five yearsDatsun has announced a swveeping, full -scale styli ng and engineering change forone of it's best selli ng sub-a2mpact lines.the Bluebird, or the 810 8s It's known inoverseas markets.Since the sleek, opera-windowedhardtop is the most handsc8me model ofthe new series that's the machine wechose forth e est. Although they dooffer a2000cc six-cylinde r versi on. the chancesare this would not be included in theirexport program so we selec:ted what wethought would be the next hottest model.the 1800 SSS-ES four-t,anger withelectronic fuel injection.

The engine acceleratessmoothly. but there's just not enough ofit .. orque. t hat i s. We checked thi sproblem with several in-the-knowDatsun mecha nics and they said that thiswas pa r for thec ours e for the fuel injected
