Hi, I am driving a carburettor Nissan also.
You have replace all the electrical item but problem still same ?

1st need to identify, when you flooring the accelerator, the engine is jerking. This jerking means misfire or knocking?

Has you replace fuel filter? It may be stuck and cause the fuel flow rate reduce.
Have you check the earth cable, which from engine body to vehicle body ground ? remove the screw and use sand paper to vanish the body, so that it have a good grounding.


*when turning the alternator fully advance,no knocking sound..?? => is it turning the distributor fully advance?
If after turning full advance still no knocking sound, it could be cylinder pressure not enough.

Just to share with you guys on adding more power and torque to the engine for a smoother and faster acceleration plus fuel savings seen on longer stretch drive.

Just check out the reviews and feedback and make your own conclusion.
