Posted March 5, 20169 yr comment_487852 Stock '73 bottom end, 1980 L20aet head (F.I. turbo) with round exhaust ports and F.I. notches. SU carbs from P.O. conversion. Planning MSA 6-2 header, wondering what header/intake gasket to get. Seems like a common question but couldn't find the right thread. Been running this head for a few years with no problems other than carb/ignition tuning, it all bolted up OK. I can ask the mechanic what gasket he put but he might not remember. MSA catalog says use 77-78 280z headers for round port head. They say call about header gasket if using round port head with SU's but asking here first. Do the injector notches in 77-78 F.I. gasket matter ? Any other issues ?

March 5, 20169 yr comment_487859 Stock Nissan gasket for a 77 - 78 head is good. Injection notches won't really affect much. Use Permatex Ultra Copper and lightly coat both sides of Manifold gasket..

March 6, 20169 yr Author comment_487874 New gasket even if the one on there looks OK ? Guess I'd buy one in advance anyway in case it gets messed up somehow.
