FYI, it is hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like a setup from a '71 240Z. If in fact the carbs have 4 screws holding down the dome than the carbs are from a late '70 - late '71 car. Also, the intake may also be from an earlier Z. Again, I cannot tell from the pictures. From what I have seen of US cars, the E46 intake manifold was on the early Z's up to the '72 model when the E88 intake manifold started being used. It seems that the manifold switch was at the same time as the carb switch. Now, if you have a very early '72 than this may be a crossover item between '71 and '72 model. If not they have probably been switched at some point. What month/year was your '72 Z built??? Which intake manifold is it(E46 or E88)?

texasz,

Yes, that intake will fit on a P90. It should fit any carb or FI L6 head that was in a US Z, and probably international as well as some other non-Z Datsun/Nissan heads.

Jeff,

Although your car build date indicates it is at near the beginning of the '72 model year run, I doubt those carbs came on that manifold from the factory. From a visual inspection the only obvious difference between the E46 intake manifold and E88 intake is that the E88 has water passages that allow water to flow through the bottom of the 3 screw Hitachi SU carbs. There is no problem using the 4 screw Hitachi SU carbs on this later manifold. Since the earlier carbs don't have the water passages on them I believe the manifold passages would be blocked off. Again, this is not a bad thing, there is nothing wrong with this configuration. In fact, I am about to do the opposite, which is to install '72 model carbs on my E46 intake manifold. My intention was to just help clarify what was being sold.

Have fun!

Jeff just what I need. I will take them for 80+ shipping. Give me a yell at fourniquet@cox.net and I will paypal the money. Shoot me a phone number and I can see if you have anything else I need.
