FreshZ Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share #13 Posted December 9, 2016 so the parts that the zstore sells with their manifold kit, do those have a curved area like you previously described? I don't want to get the wrong parts.Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/56650-manifold-spacers-location/?page=2#findComment-507748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted December 9, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 9, 2016 Sorry, I see where you got the wrong name now. MSA calls their ECU's "fuel injection brains" or "computers" too, even though they're neither. They're good but the informality can cause communication problems. So, yes, those are the yokes that you need. Calling them spacers can lead to misguided work, like "why don't I just stack some flat washers?". Oh well. Good luck. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic12e01b/14-0373 http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic17b10 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/56650-manifold-spacers-location/?page=2#findComment-507749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tooZ Posted December 9, 2016 Share #16 Posted December 9, 2016 I have installed two sets of MSA headers recently and both used the spacers as they call them. What brand header are you using.

gwri8 Posted December 9, 2016 Share #18 Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Some links: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic19o/15-8083 http://www.zcarsource.com/exhaust-manifold-parts-240z-260z-280z-280zx-300zx_8_77826.html http://datsunspirit.com/shop/intake-exhaust-studs/ https://zcardepot.com/engine/exhaust/exhaust-manifold-stainless-steel-stud-kit-240z-280z.html Some people prefer stainless steel, Some people like the copper nuts, Other people just like the regular OEM parts. Point is, They all work I personally got my exhaust studs from Datsun Spirt and have not had any problems with them. Good Luck.

gundee Posted December 10, 2016 Share #19 Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Just a tip. If you have the cast iron maifold and is off the car, lay a good straight edge across the face. Mine was very warped. Took it to machine shop to have cut straight. Not only will it seal better when put back on car but will relieve stresses on the studs tighting back to spec.

Martzedcars Posted December 11, 2016 Share #21 Posted December 11, 2016 And always use copper grease when you put those steel studs into a aluminum head, so they don't get stuck in there forever..
