ZZ4 install Questions
Got my sights set on a ZZ4 for X-mas! Important questions however:
1. Will my headers fit? Just got 'em, Dynomax Ceramacote headers. The ZZ4 has angle plugs, my current heads have straight plugs. Also, the ZZ$ head have "raised exhaust floors??" Any problems with my headers???
2. Will my current tach drive distributor work?? Hope so, just installed the Pertronix ignitor. Do I need a new drive gear to match the "steel" roller cam??
3. Water pump on the ZZ4. Will I need a new one/will my pump off my existing engine fit??
4. Hood clearance?? Any problems here?? Looks like there will be but any feedback is appreciated. Remember, I do not have as much room as '73's and later!!
5. Carb?? My Q-jet is newly rebuilt (<500 miles), and runs great. Do I need to replace???
6. CAM - go for the HOTCAM??? Price and value??
Thanks for your advice!!! Webpage links to 68-72 ZZ4 installs would be appreciated!!! :cheers:
