June 23, 200420 yr comment_86254 ... Back in the mid 70's when guys I knew got flat top carbbed Zs, the second thing they did was go looking for the earlier carbs 'cause the word was out even then that they (the tuna cans) were junk.Since becoming involved in ZTherapy I marvel at the number of people that are just now getting around to doing it. That's 30 years of fighting those carbs and they weren't worth burying the day they were new. The flat top carb fiasco is very indicative of the knee jerk engineering of that period when everyone was scrambling to get smog numbers down and safety numbers up. Get it out and sold and we'll sort it out later. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12304-carbs/?&page=2#findComment-86254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 28, 200420 yr comment_86779 Bill, those are some of the good ones to have. They are the three-screw dome version from '72.I would get in touch with Bruce Palmer from Z Therapy. Order a set of fuel lines and the ZTherapy SU video. Those small fuel lines that run from the float bowl to the choke nozzle get hard over time. They need to be flexible so that your choke nozzles will move freely. Regular fuel line from the autoparts store won't work well. It's too thick and won't flex enough to make the radius turn. It will kink and then you won't get any fuel. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12304-carbs/?&page=2#findComment-86779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
