For a 5 spd, any '77-'79 620, '80 720 2wd, '77-'79 280z/zx, or '81-'84 Maxima will do. The '80-'83 280zx non turbo tranny has a very tall overdrive ratio and may be too tall for your L16 truck.

datzenmike Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The 620 was only made for a few months of '72. Check the driver's door jam for the build date to be sure it's a 620. Quote Link to comment

73dat Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I know some one in San Diego with a 620,no seams on the bumper I said very rare...... Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 No seams means aftermarket, or modified (seams filled in and ground down). Easy enough to do if you have the equipment. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just my opinion. Dual carbs that are low maintenance do not exist. Another issue is that it is really easy to put too much carburettor on the stock engine, and that really hurts the driveability. One thing that does help is to open up the exhaust, and you do not need headers. The stock exhaust manifold is a very good design, and opening up the exhaust system after that helps a lot. Just do not put a "fart cannon" on it like you see on every lowered Honda. Quote Link to comment
