ggzilla Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 converting to N/A? I thought all KAs were naturally aspirated from the factory. Quote Link to comment
510can Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I had the flanges made at a local machine shop that builds all sorts of crazy things. But alas the bad news, the engine has a blow head gasked :)... Oh well another days of work for me :). Another quick question I have is about my head, I'm not sure how I missed this at first, but does anyone know if this is the FWD Stanza head? Cause I know the s13 heads don't have the dizzy mount back there like this one in the pics below. Quote Link to comment
510can Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Any interest in selling any of those flanges? :P I only had one set made, Im sure I can have my guy here make them for me no problem. Thing is if he only makes one it will be like almost $90 bucks a flange (Exhaust Flange), the carb flanges are of course cheaper since their smaller. Where is if he gets like an order for 5 or 7 they will be cheaper. You know the usual hehe. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I had this mess with me YEARS ago on the first valve cover gasket I did on one of these engines. I couldn't get the valve cover to fall on to the back of the engine, even though it was straight in the front. Confused the shit out of me. Sucks to hear about your head gasket. But on the bright side...No EFI BS to get in your way. Quote Link to comment

510can Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Doesn't the truck use a distributor too?. mounted in the same spot as any rwd? I actually think it's a newer rwd stanza head like philcas1987 mentioned above. Quote Link to comment

Truck's dizzy is up front like yours. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Replaced the KA oil pump shaft and distributor from an L series. The Distributor runs with a petronix unit :)... Just had to make some custom brackets to mount the dizzy in. There's another option, too. The L20b dizzy mount pops right into the KA24E front cover. You just have to drill and tap two new holes. ;) Quote Link to comment

The KA comes with enough useless bolt holes in it as it is. (Weight reduction LOL) Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 That's pretty crafty. :D And if you slotted them you could get some extra adjustment in there too. ;) Quote Link to comment
