Posted January 21, 20232 yr comment_649522 I'm working on a restoration project of a 73Z. I'm installing 3 screw round top carbs off a 72 engine. To keep from getting things mixed up I'm working on one carb at a time. I'm currently working on the rear carb. My rebuild kit is a Napco for 72Z. Bought if from a supplier in Japan. The kit has 2 sets of needle jets. One is marked N54 and the other is marked M43. Do the front and rear carbs use different needles? If so, which one goes where? If not, which set should I be using? The car is going to be pretty much stock, manual trans and exhaust headers. I removed the needle from the rear carb slide, but I don't see any number marking on it or they are just illegible. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68103-proper-needle-jets-for-72-3-screw-roundtops/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 21, 20232 yr comment_649523 More than likely they should both be n54 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68103-proper-needle-jets-for-72-3-screw-roundtops/#findComment-649523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 21, 20232 yr comment_649531 From the fische... From Sep.-'71 To Jun.-'72) JET-NEEDLE (N-54) - 16354-E8800 JET-NEEDLE (N-58) - 16354-E8810 I'm thinking the N-54 is for the manual trans and the N-58 is for the auto.

January 22, 20232 yr comment_649588 I so love the fact you can easily swap carburetor needles on a 240Z and tune it with a twist of a mixture knob and turn of an idle screw. This sure beats taking out a laptop and remapping an ECU.
