i can't find 2 good pictures that show the difference between them... i dunno which set up my car has...

i'm a noob. *runs and hides*

yes i searched.

Go to www.ztherapy.com and click on the 'Z Car Spotter's Guide' link.

The photo on top is a Hitachi flat-top, and the other photos (the ones they rebuild, in other words) are round tops.

Welcome to ClassicZCars!

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.

What year is your Z? The flat tops were only on 73 240's and 74 260's.

He has a 73, according to his profile.

Arne,

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.

About 85% yes. Still haven't been able to find out what time it all starts, though. That's NOT on the website.

Here Ja go!

The flat top has a ring around it...and is on the right

and in the third picture (two on a 510 manifold).

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.

Round tops are curved/rounded and flat tops are, well, ... flat.
