72 240Z Carb Spacers

Featured Replies

Can someone help me understand the difference between these two different carb spacers.

What goes in/through the extra two holes in the spacer on the right.

Thanks

Yeah, look at your carbs rear side to see which you need.  I've always thought the pre '72 does not have the coolant passages?

That is correct.

Thanks for all your help, looks like I need the spacer with the six holes.

There are none with six holes.  Your choices are five or seven.

It's a calling....   :ph34r:

Nice catch Captain, I stand corrected I need the "seven" hole spacer.

Make sure your manifold has the holes as well. And make sure the spacer goes on the right way. One hole is for water into the carb, the other for water leaving. If only I knew which was witch...

And now for something actually useful, (harhumfff...) I can help you with a pair of spacers. Llet me know if no one closer can help find you one.

If it weighs the same as a duck it's the the right which.

Work work work, harumph harumph.
