can anyone shed any light on why the manifold on my 78 260z is water cooled and if i can delete the water cooled function by simply blanking off the coolant connections at the thermostat housing and the T piece on the other side of the block?
thermostat outlet
sparkplug side of block Tpiece.
my carbs have been playing up due to throttle spindle wear, so i have bought some genuine new/old stock SU carbs that arent water-cooled, hence me wanting to block the passage of coolant through the manifold by blanking the outlets from the thermostat housing and tpeice on the other side of the block.
