Thanks, Got it.

WTB SU Carb center linkage Anyone has this laying around? Please reply with price including shipping to Miami (33126) I'm not in the US but I have a shipping address in Miami. Thanks.

Engine was running perfectly before. The engine appears to have been rebuilt by a previous owner. 100k on the odo and no buildup in the intake valves. Starts and runs smoothly and oil pressure is stable. The gearbox and flywheel came out of a scrapped Datsun 280C sedan. I've read that the spacer is not needed with the manual transmission so I'll remove it to see if it makes a difference. The cap that you guys are referring to is the spacer behind the flex plate? The manual bolts aren't long enough to work with the spacer on. The ring is about 6mm high.

I'm attempting a 5 speed swap on a L28 and I've run into a problem. The flywheel that I got has a raised portion at the back near the ring gear that is touching the spacer. Can someone tell what engine this is for? I'm assuming it's the wrong part. I've never handled a L series flywheel before. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately we did not get the KA motors here. Will go hunting around and take some measurements.

Hi guys, I recently purchased an automatic 81 280zx but the gears are not shifting and I want to do a manual conversion. Problem is that there are very few manual transmissions available where I live (Trinidad WI). The L18 and L20 gearboxes are easier to obtain and I've read almost all the threads related to the L series gearboxes but I still have some questions. Will the L18/20 box work on the l28 engine? Can the bell housing off the L18/20 be used on a CA/SR/RB swap? Thanks, Dave.
