Arne Posted September 11, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 11, 2008 If you still can't tell for certain (ZTherapy's pictures can be small and not totally clear), post a picture here and we'll help ID them.Or, pull off the airbox cover. Roundtops have round throats, flattops have rectangular throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted September 11, 2008 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2008 Arne,Whatchoo sayin' 'bout our pictures Willis? No offense, Bruce, but the pictures and even the the website layout could use some help. But even so, I don't expect anything different. You guys work on carbs, not websites. Are you coming to the BBQ the 20th? www.datsunsnw.org for detailsAbout 85% yes. Still haven't been able to find out what time it all starts, though. That's NOT on the website.

reintr0ducing Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted September 12, 2008 thanks for the help, i just gotta run ouside and check my carbs. i saw those ztherapy pic but they are horrible! hahaha.i have a 73, but the previous owner swapped in an L28, so im in the dark as to what parts i have... i'd assume roundtops as it would be the sensible thing to do, but you never know.
