Llittle_Llama Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i got a regulator and an electric fuel pump and will be installing in a few weeks. what do i do about the fuel pump hole? does someone make a plate or do i need to have one made? i have an extra nos pump so i could get a plate made off of that if need be. anything i need to know before i remove it?

Llittle_Llama Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 hmmm, not a bad idea....oh wait, yes it is, lol Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have seen factory block off plates before, cant remember what i saw it on though(car or truck). Thinking that is was a z20 or z22 motor. Jason Quote Link to comment
ssfwgn Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think any FI nap-Z motor will have it. You can get cnc block off plates from ebay. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i'll prolly go that route then.....flea baying right now.... Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I believe the Kragen [shucks] sells chrome block off plates for GM's that bolt right to the L head. Or you can always make one from scrap metal. make sure you install a NEW gasket. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 did not find one on ebay, i will most likely have one made if there is no problem with that. and i will definitely get a new gasket, lol. is the old one worth anything pcd? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 All north Am Z20/22 (E or S) Had the block off plate. The hole was not hogged out on the Z24 head so no plate on them. Find one in a w/yard and it fits your wallet or back pocket. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/motorfuelpumpblockoffZ20Z22.jpg[/img]"] Use the plastic spacer between the pump and the head to draw an outline and the two holes. Make it out of soft aluminum. BTW the L series pump will fit on the Z head. All you need is the L eccentric under the cam sprocket bolt to make it work.. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i have deep pockets.....but there empty :( guess that will have room for the part then, lol Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 FYI, Z heads have that plate but Z-car heads do not :D Even though the 240Z has an L-series straight six, their manual fuel pumps had a different bolt pattern. 3 bolts I believe. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 think i might just make a diamond plate one..... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 One side has to be smooth so you can use a gasket on it. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 im not real familiar with it, but DP is smooth on one side right? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 If you get the thicker plate it is. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 thinner not flat on one side!?! for strength? well i have some extra, imma look in a few. i bought it at an antique mall for 10 bucks, was just scrap, but i knew i could use it for this kinda thing.....i'll post pics of what i have in a few....working on valve cover still.....

ssfwgn Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 thin dp is some time wavy on the back side due the way the patern is made. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 just double up on the gasket and it should be fine right? Quote Link to comment
