Removal

The air cleaner must be removed to inspect the carburetor or vacuum hoses.

Cleaner Removal

IMPORTANT: If you have a warm/cold air cleaner, first remove the hoses as outlined below
Twist and pull the thick breather hose straight up out of the rocker cover https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/ddgonzal/sightings/forum/PCV_upper.jpg
Remove the two 10mm-headed bolts from the side of the air cleaner away from the engine https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/ddgonzal/Datsun%201200/wiki/B110_air_cleaner_bolts.jpg
Remove the one 10mm-headed bolt from the bracket next to the rocker cover https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/ddgonzal/Datsun%201200/wiki/B110_air_cleaner.jpg
Untwist the wingnut holding the air cleaner top on. Carefully remove the washer & rubber piece
lift the lid off and remove the air filter element
lift the air cleaner body straight up

Hot/Cold Air Cleaner

If you have an warm/cold air type air cleaner do this first before attempting to remove the air cleaner:

Grab the hot air tube just underneath the air cleaner snout. Carefully twist the hot air tube to loosen it. If it won't twist, unscrew the clamp first. Be careful not to damage the cardboard tubing. After it is loose, pull it down off the bottom of the air cleaner snout. Leave the bottom of the tube connected, only separate it from the air cleaner Post 498236

If you have the ATC type (vacuum controlled) air cleaner do this:

Twist and pull the ATC vacuum hose out of the intake manifold port https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/ddgonzal/Datsun%201200/wiki/B110_intake_hoses.jpg
Disconnect the vacuum hose at the rear of the air cleaner https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/ddgonzal/Datsun%201200/wiki/B110_air_cleaner_hose.jpg

Anti-Icing

To prevent ice up in winter, air cleaners for temperate markets have a temperature control. For example, this Japan-market air cleaner draws hot air to prevent icing (carb icing can over at temperatures several degreesn freezing):

Album 14992

The hot air is drawn up from the exhaust manifold

Automatic Temperature Control

Some JDM 1200s and 1972 USA models use an Automatic Temperature Control air cleaner for year-round constant inlet temperature. This protects again carb icing, but also regulates the temperature for consistent jetting. For details, see ATC.

Late A-engine

From 1976, B210 (except VB210) changed to a front bracket type air cleaner. This was to provide more clearance for the EGR valve.

Thin bracket bolts to the very last manifold bolt
