It was an option for the 1985 ST pick up.

well he has an L series in it... so if it has a throttle body this sounds like a custom deal

I thought the 1980 model came with either an L20B or a Z20 4 plug.

According to wakopedia, the L20B switched to fuel injection in 1977 outside of the US. So it tends to relate that the engine is from a 200 sx import and swapped into his truck.

Yeah. Probably thought it was an upgrade as it was fuel injected.

Anything with a throttle body is tough to convert to the truck. There's high pressure (35 psi and above) fuel pump to install, the wiring the contend with as well as mounting brackets to fab, instruments to change to suit your choise, among a lot of small things. All this = headache. I know because its been 4 months and mine is not yet complete.

By the way anyone can supply a wiring diagram for a Z18ET? That is for the fuel injection system.
