I have a late 72 (L24), oil pan and a L28 oil pan, and I can't tell the difference. I've read elsewhere that there is a difference, but I can't seem to find one. Is there really a difference?

Thanks,

Pete

IIRC the L28 pan has a shorter and straighter pickup. The L24 has a longer pickup that sits further back in the oil pan. I think ***but I'm not sure*** that the L24 pan has the baffle further back as well to match the pickup.

I ran into this problem when I bought the AZC aluminum pan and had the wrong pickup a few years back, and I believe this was the cause.

does the AZC have the longer pickup (L24) or the shorter one?

Was just about to get one for my L24!

Shorter 280Z pickup IIRC. Call Dave. He can tell you for sure.
