Hondanx250 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Probably a silly question. Could you run a Napz z20s 8 Spark with a 4 spark distribute with just the other 4 spark holes plugged? Currently have a 1980 510 wagon with a z20s 4 spark that needs a rebuild. But i found a z20s 8 spark motor that has been rebuilt. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 It should work fine, just use the timing settings from the four plug version Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Doesn't the 8 plug rebuilt engine have the 8 plug distributor??? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Get an L20B top end, timing cover, and dizzy. Boom! High compression and 4 plugs! Wish I had never gotten rid of the Z20 motor I had. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Doh! You'll need the L20B oil pan from an A10 as well. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 You can use the Z20 4 plug distributor on an L series. Also need L series engine mounts and L series transmission, manifolds, carb, and down pipe, modified upper rad hose to fit the Z rad.... Quote Link to comment
Hondanx250 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Doesn't the 8 plug rebuilt engine have the 8 plug distributor??? Not sure, Picture does not show one. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 His profile says 79 510....So he already has everything needed to LZ the thing. Minus the Z short block I feel an epic engine build coming. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Not sure, Picture does not show one. Does it show all 8 wires? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I guess I'm missing something. Buying a complete Z? Scrap worrying about getting the 8 plug dizzy to work. Buy a gasket kit and become a boss. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 It is an 8 plug because it's the one I'm selling. http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/pts/5209669951.html I got this engine from Datsunfreak, I was going to use it for my 210 but something better came along. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Ah. Sell it to him half price so we can see an LZ20 happen. That thing would scream! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 That's 9.9 compression...... Quote Link to comment
